What Horses Have Been Trying to Teach Us For 56 Million Years

There are some teachers on this planet who never learned our language...yet somehow understand us better than we understand ourselves. In this fascinating conversation, we welcome back coach and horse-guided facilitator Nell Debevoise Dewey to explore what horses can teach us about emotional regulation, leadership, healing, and being fully present. You'll learn why horses have survived for nearly 56 million years, how their remarkable hearts create powerful electromagnetic fields that can help regulate our nervous systems, and why they instinctively conserve energy instead of fighting against life. Along the way, we uncover surprising lessons about stress, intuition, connection, and what it means to truly feel safe. Whether you've spent your life around horses or have never been near one, this episode will leave you looking at both animals and yourself in a completely different way.
