I was just… tired.
Tired of the anxious thoughts.
Tired of the tight chest and constant second-guessing.
Tired of feeling like I had to manage everything just right—or else something would go wrong.
And here’s the kicker: it wasn’t just life.
My anxiety followed me into the barn.
Into the saddle.
Into the rides that were supposed to help me feel better, just like a best friend, always there.

Into the rides that were supposed to help me feel better, just like a best friend, always there.
And when a ride didn’t go well? That anxiety followed me right back into life.
It was a loop.
A tight, tangled circle I couldn’t seem to get out of.

We all have anxiety.
Some of us just carry it with us everywhere we go.

It’s like life anxiety and riding anxiety are two sides of the same coin—yin and yang, feeding off each other.
You feel overwhelmed at home or work, and suddenly your horse feels too big, too unpredictable, too much.
Or you have a bad ride, a scary moment, and suddenly everyday tasks feel heavier, harder, and more fragile.
You find yourself holding your breath and tension in your body without realizing it.
Playing out worst-case scenarios in your mind on repeat.

Here’s what I want you to hear, from someone who’s lived it:
You’re not broken. You’re just stuck in a loop that can be rewired.
But here’s the good news: just like that anxiety spread from one area to another, healing can spread through you too.
When I started to work on calming my nervous system—on interrupting the loop—I didn’t just become a more confident rider.
I became a more grounded woman.
I became a more grounded woman.
My horse felt it.
I felt it.
And little by little, the loop reversed.
I felt it.
And little by little, the loop reversed.
Now, I am helping others reverse their loop. Find their healing.
