International women’s day
Today we honor women across the globe. 🌍
On International Women’s Day, I think about the women who show up here…
tired but trying
burned out but brave
quietly carrying more than anyone sees
And I think about the horses. 🐴
Horses do not respond to titles, productivity, or people-pleasing.
They respond to truth.
To breath.
To the nervous system underneath the smile.
In horse facilitated development, women practice something radical:
taking up space without apology.
Setting boundaries without explanation.
Leading without hardening.
Strength does not have to look sharp.
Power does not have to be loud.
Regulation is not weakness.
When a woman stands grounded beside a 1,200-pound horse and the horse softens,
that is leadership.
That is coherence.
That is embodied power.
Here’s to women remembering who they are
not by pushing harder
but by standing steadier.
Happy International Women’s Day. 💛
