Heading into the new week gives us opportunities to reflect not only on the times of triumph but also the lessons learned. Being a forever student is essential in equine coaching! This field is constantly growing and changing so to be the best coaches for our clients we have to be open to learning. Whether the lessons come from a training or from a session with a client, they are all important! So I challenge you to think and share about a learning opportunity you had last week and how you are going to adapt because of the lesson learned from that experience. Was it... 🐴the way you interpreted how a horse was communicating with you about a client? 📝how to adapt an activity to meet the needs of a specific client? 🧘‍♀️to give yourself grace when you feel overwhelmed by the goals you have set for your business? Let's hear it! 👇

@Health Coach Heather @Christina Beaubien @Delena Austin Lately I’ve been thinking about equestrians—our lives are a beautiful whirlwind of hoofbeats and hay bales, and somehow, we’re still trying to keep the house as clean as the barn. (Honestly, the barn's winning.) Every day feels like a juggling act: barn chores, keeping a dog from redecorating the living room with mud, trying to make a dinner everyone likes—even though there's always one who suddenly hates pasta this week. So how do we find time for the extras—those classes, courses, or catch-up reading that nourish us but never shout as loud as the laundry? For me, it starts with delegation. I’ve got a fleet of robot vacuums that spring into action the moment I walk out to the barn. They’re the unsung heroes, scrubbing away the chaos while I wrangle hay and humans. Living ten paces from the first stable means a lot gets dragged inside... though if you're also an equestrian, you totally get it. I swear by Audible. Whether I’m mucking stalls or on the road, I sneak in a chapter or two. Lately, I’ve started blocking out ‘Lesson Time’ on my calendar—a sacred hour to do something that matters to me. No guilt, just growth. So I’m curious—what’s in your toolkit? Whether it’s hacks, humor, or holy grail habits, I’d love to hear what keeps you riding the whirlwind without losing your reins.😁

Hay there WISE Fam! Have you had a chance to watch @Delena Austin's latest podcast? I know summer is busy for all of us, but if you get the chance you should check it out.

Happy Friday everyone! As promised I have added a FREE coaching resource for all of you amazing folks.

You SHOULD be able to easily open and print this resource Please! if you have trouble getting to it, let me know ASAP. I am tech savvy, but not a pro, so there is a small chance I may have screwed up somehow! 😁 Affirmation Station: Nothing is impossible for me I have unshakeable dedication to my goals I am a highly focused individual "If one is going to change things, one has to make a fuss and catch the eye of the world!" - Elizabeth Janeway

Well, safe to say the summer has been super busy so far! And we know that it is busy season for all of you. Even if you do not run a full on farm, coaching business, or otherwise. Summer always tends to be, or at least seems to be, a little bit busier. Then all of a sudden, 3 months has flown by and the weather is starting to change. That is how it goes here in Michigan anyway. 🤷‍♀️ So, when things start to slow down again, and inevitably they will.....What are YOUR plans? Pay special attention to "stay connected" in the list below. 😁 To stay on track when things slow down, focus on using the downtime for reflection, planning, and personal growth. This can involve reviewing past progress, setting new goals, or engaging in activities that boost motivation and well-being. Prioritizing tasks, staying flexible, and remembering that slow progress is still progress can also be helpful. Strategies for Staying on Track: - Reflect and Plan: Use slow periods to analyze past performance, identify areas for improvement, and set clear, achievable goals. - Prioritize Tasks: Focus on the most important activities and break them down into smaller, manageable steps. - Seek Inspiration: Explore resources like books, articles, or podcasts to reignite motivation and gain new perspectives. - Engage in Self-Care: Schedule time for activities that promote well-being, such as exercise, relaxation, or spending time with loved ones. - Stay Flexible: Adjust your approach as needed and embrace unexpected opportunities for growth. - Remember the Bigger Picture: Reiterate your long-term goals and connect them to your daily actions. - Track Progress: Use visual trackers or reminders to stay motivated and celebrate small wins. - Don't Dwell on Setbacks: Learn from mistakes, forgive yourself, and focus on moving forward. - Stay Connected: Engage with a supportive community or accountability partner. (That is where this group comes in! We are both a supportive community and an accountability partner...if you want us to be.)
