6 years since buying our dream ranch.

On our latest podcast episode, we are sharing the journey of holding transition for our mare Ostara. Joined by animal communicator and horse medicine facilitator, Brittany Ashworth we speak about the messages Ostara shared in prepartion of her transition, and how helpful it is to have someone hold the space for transition. It is also another share of a journey of a horse consciously choosing her transition process and how we have walked alongside of her through it. Our hope is sharing this journey is supportive for anyone navigating the journey of transition and to share some final messages from Ostara.

On our latest podcast episode, we are sharing the journey of transition with our equine partners and how that journey and path can manifest with each horse. We were inspired to share this episode while speaking to the story of our gelding Shiva, and his own journey of getting close to transition and then deciding to stay. Transition is a fluid path and it is unique to each journey and being that is walking that path. How do we be present to the space of transition for thte being we are walking and holding space for and also ourselves? We share a few stories of our horses and their journey to support where perhaps you are walking this path as well.

On today's episode I am sharing a couple of personal stories of my experience with reincarnation with some animal companions of mine, and also where we get signs of spirit when they leave us. If you have ever wondered about or needed a sign around reincarnation and spirit, perhaps you will receive what you are needing to hear in this episode.

In our first podcast episode of 2024 I share a little bit of wisdom of the difference between stretching our capacity and listening to where we are being asked to grow, versus when we are burning out. How do we know the difference or discern whether we have the capacity for something or not? Why should we listen to our capacity limits? How do we avoid burnout and following every idea or vision that comes to us? Why is it important for us to know the difference? I share some personal stories around my experience with this to deepen into this topic as well. As I mention on the podcast, I will be diving more deeply into the wisdom of the last 8 years on the ranch if you feel called to join me.   https://hillaryschneider.mykajabi.com/8-years-reflection-virtual-retreat

Each year when we approach new years, we perhaps start to think about our new years resolutions, intentions and word of the year. We wanted to share a different process and journey that we have found to be more powerful and perhaps authentic as we approach a new year. Instead of us choosing our intentions and resolutions, what if we were able to receive that energies were showing up to guide us in a new year? This journey has us to be open to what signs from nature, and the energy around us that is showing us and giving us signs as to what we need to partner with in order to succeed with our goals and intentions in a new year. On this podcast I share about this process, what horses are emerging as guiding forces for myself and perhaps our community and some messages that were coming forward for all of us. I also mention that I will be running a virtual retreat experience to share about this process, if you are curious or called to join us, here is the link to do so. https://hillaryschneider.mykajabi.com/aligning-our-guiding-energies

On our latest podcast we are sharing our personal process and reflection when we are being faced with resistance and invitation to shift in the midst of creation. Over the last couple of months we have been creating a new container, we started to share about it and then felt as if something needed to shift. Instead of pushing through or sitting with this is a failure, we instead are being with the invitation of what do we need to shift to be in greater alignment. Sometimes the things we create are leading us somewhere, can we be with the process of creation and opening without attachment to outcomes and making it about our failures? How do we sit with resistance and find the clarity in it when we are there, and be able to create space to do so? How do we read what wants to happen in what we are creating without our ego getting involved? Some pieces of reflection we are sharing on this episode.

A tender episode for our latest podcast in a share around how we are navigating and moving through both the physical loss of our beloved gaurdian dog Odin and the journey of conversation of transition with our mare Ostara. It felt important to honor both of these wise beings by sharing their journey and our hopes is it will help provide some comfort if you are also walking this path. How do we honor the journey of our animals when they choose to leave, regardless of the journey they take? How do we tend to our own grief? How do we navigate that inquiry of is it time yet? Gratitude to Odin and Ostara for offering their wisdom through this process.

On our latest pocast we are joined by Elyse Granik who attended a retreat with us in May 2023. Over the last couple of months since the retreat Elyse has been gracious in sharing her experience with the horses post retreat. We asked Elyse to come and share about her time here and how the horses and her experience with them has integrated into her life. We are grateful for Elyse coming on to share her experience and her journey with the horses and their medicine. 

On our latest podcast episode we are joined by Carly Rae Beaudry, a gifted women's health practitioner. I met Carly last year when she came to one of our horse medicine leadership teaching retreats with her desire to bring the space of horse medicine into the work she did with women. We believe that the knowledge and support Carly provides around women's health an their anatomy to be essential, we cannot find our own seat of power if we don't access all parts of who we are. Join me as Carly speaks about her work, why we need to support and know about our own anatomy as women and the deep healing around it. You can find more about Carly on her website Carly Rae and her instagram under carlyraebeaudry.

On our latest podcast episode we are joined by Tara Davis of Unbridled Goddess. A few months ago we saw a post she shared on her instagram sharing the journey of transition and grief with her horse partner and was moved by it. In a world where we don't often know how to honor this journey or walk this path we thought it would be a deeply beautiful experience to have Tara come and share about her journey. This conversation is vulnerable and holds so much beauty in hopes to provide a path of healing for others that are going through something similar. Whether you are grieving or in the process of holding that path of transition for a horse partner or another being or person, we hope this conversation supports that journey for you.
