Ep.9 – How Our Minds Could’ve Never Led Us to Our Amazing Montana Property (But Our Inner Knowing Did)

In today’s episode I reflect on the amazing combination of things we have in our Montana property and home. How it’s the most perfectly-tailored-to-us combination of mountain views, conifer trees, horse pastures, wildlife, opportunities for tractor and pickup truck adventures for my husband and kids, privacy and yet neighbors nearby, and so very much more. How it’s a compilation of so many things dear to our hearts and to be honest, many things I longed for, but had given up on believing I could ever have. And how, despite our years of well-honed skills in strategy, planning, and execution in the tech industry, we could’ve never fully envisioned and found this place on our own with our logical, rational minds. But how our inner knowing knew all of what we wanted and dreamed of, and it delivered all of that to us in this amazing property and place we now get to call home. And I share how I’ve come to see how this can be everyone’s experience when we begin to follow our deepest inner knowing. . . .

Ep.8 – Getting Through the Hard Parts of Starting a Horse Ranch in Montana

Today I have a frank and heartfelt discussion about the many hard parts and challenges we've faced on our adventures in ranching journey - both lately, and over the past year. In fact, there have been so many challenges and hard parts that I dedicate roughly 35 minutes of this episode to sharing things like horse feeding and horse herd dominance antics, horse catching theatrics, redoing electric fencing on an entire pasture and still having it not work properly woes, massive horse shelter delays, and so much more. But I also talk about how despite all of these unwanted situations, we receive unexpected and amazing blessings, and magical experiences and reminders that we were called to this journey for a larger purpose even though it may not be fully known to us yet. And I share how we've learned how to keep marching forward despite our challenges, and despite the hard times, because after we make it through these hard parts we feel a sense of amazement and wonder and appreciation at what we've learned and experienced because of them. And that is truly the most wonderful gift. . . .

Ep.7 – Why I Danced In Our Horse Pasture in Montana Today (And It’s Not the First Time)

Today I share how and why I danced in our horse pasture. And I admit that this is not the first time I’ve boogied outdoors on our (small) horse ranch in Montana. As part of this episode I share some of the antics we experienced with our horses since Episode 6, as well as some major pasture grass growing and ranch watering woes that I learned to work through. . . .
