How do you take care of yourself? Would your horse approve?
I was having a conversation this week that really hit me right between the eyes.  We bend over backwards for our horses to make sure of the following:

1. Peace - that they live in a peaceful environment.
2. Love - We want them to know they are loved.
3. Provided for - that they have everything they need
4. Truth - You can't lie to a horse; they see right to your soul. 

How do you take care of yourself?  Would your horse approve.

1. Peace - do you stay in a state of peace, trusting that life if going in the right direction?
2. Love - do you love yourself, 100%, with your whole heart?
3. Cared For - do you care for yourself, your health, your flexibility, your balance, your strength?
4. Truth - are you honest with yourself.  Living in the present moment, in joy.  Is your plate overfull and are their things you can say no too?

Would your horse take care of you better than you take care of yourself?

Here are some things that your horse would do for you:

Your horse loves you, would fill you up with love so you can love yourself, all of you, inside and out.  Your horse would provide nutritious food for you, food that would help you thrive.  They would research it and feed you the best food for you.  Your horse would make sure you were happy and fulfilled.  Your horse would want you to be 100% honest, with yourself and with them.  If you wanted to go for a ride, or just wanted to hang out, your horse would listen and be there for you.  Your horse would want to go on adventures with you, as long as you were present, not worrying about the future and not depressed about the past, but in joy, right here, right now.

Love from me, love from my bay girls.  Love yourself first.

Hey there! I’m Elise Hittinger—Fear Slayer, Confidence Creator, and your go-to Courage Coach.

 
Once upon a time, I was that fearless kid riding deep into Angeles National Forest without a second thought. Then bam—life threw me a plot twist. A horse flipped on me, pinning me beneath it, and fear crept in like an uninvited guest who wouldn’t leave.

That moment tested everything. But here’s the wild part—I walked away with only bruises and a divine reminder that I wasn’t done yet. Fear may have stolen my joy for a while, but it did not get the final say.

Fast forward to a move to Kentucky, where the trails were calling my name. I had two choices: let fear keep the reins or take them back. Spoiler alert—I took them back. Now, I help other riders (and, honestly, anyone sick of fear running their life) do the same.

I make fear pack its little bags and GTFO. Whether it’s through hypnotherapy, NLP, or a little well-placed humor, I help people trade anxiety for confidence, doubt for courage, and overthinking for action.

So, if you’re ready to kick fear to the curb and rediscover the joy you deserve—I’m here for it. Let’s do this.
