When Grief Exposed the Life I Couldn’t Keep Living

The life update that changes everything: grief, burnout, a breakup, and a move to 133 acres in the Rockies.Shelby shares the breaking-point year that forced her to stop tolerating a life that felt suffocating—and the chain of losses, realizations, and bold decisions that led her to a fresh start. What starts as a deeply personal update becomes a brutally honest look at what it means to outgrow the life you built. Shelby opens up about her dad’s death, years of burnout in the horse industry, the pressure of running a business under consumer scrutiny, and the emotional toll of trying to keep going while silently unraveling.Then comes the turning point: ending a relationship that no longer felt aligned, trusting a new path in the Rockies, and taking a leap that required moving an entire farm, six horses, three cats, and a dog nearly 900 kilometers.Support the podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://patreon.com/sdequus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/sdequus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠shopmilestoneeq.com⁠⁠Order my new book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠milestoneequestrian.ca/publications⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to youtube: youtube.com/c/shelbydennis
