Here is some feedback from one of my riders who lacked confidence.... "Well it was wet and windy yesterday and I had a lesson booked. The devil on my shoulder started, oh it's too windy, you haven't been in the school for ages, he doesn't like the school. The usual stuff, when I got to the yard my instructor was there( she's the yard owner)and I asked if I could change my lesson to another day but she couldn't. I got my brave pants on and went for it,all I could hear was Jan's voice and what she says about RAS. It was a great lesson, very productive, he was a bit fresh at first but then settled . I'm so glad I did it" Michelle (Pic shows her jumping her horse again)

@Brenda Chilstrom is launching an amazing community for parents of picky eaters called Raising Curious Eaters, and as an award-winning occupational therapist, she knows what she's talking about! Here's a comment she made last week in the Build Lab: "Cue the ugly tears 😭 I’m adding my signature course into my classroom today… and it’s a lot more emotional than I expected it to be. @Shannon Boyer I truly can’t even put it into words how thankful I am for your guidance. 🩷 This course has been a labor of love from the very beginning. It’s had its bumps, pivots, and long pauses along the way. Shannon doesn't just teach course creation. She models clarity, structure, integrity, and belief. She helped me take what felt big and messy in my head and turn it into something organized, intentional, and real. She asked the right questions. She encouraged without pushing. She reminded me that my voice and perspective matter... and that they aren’t just the same as every other feeding course out there. I don’t think I realized how much I was growing alongside this course. For anyone whose course is taking longer than you thought… keep going. You’ll know when the time is right to step into the flow of creation and get ’er done. And Shannon… thank you for walking beside me in this. I’m so incredibly grateful." I'm so proud of Brenda and everything she's accomplished. If you are the parent, grandparent, or friend of a picky eater, you now know where to go! If you'd also like to create a course that you are super proud to put out into the world, I'd love to support you in your journey in the "Your Best Course" Build Lab!
