When it comes to midlife healing, sometimes the best therapist has four legs and a tail. In this episode, Karen and Lisa sit down with Equus Coach Sue Willoughby to talk about how horses can help women find clarity, courage, and connection during some of life’s most tender transitions.
From identity shifts to emotional overload, Sue shares how working with horses creates space for self-awareness, presence, and deep healing—no riding required. Whether you're horse-curious or just feeling stuck, this conversation will make you laugh, tear up, and maybe even consider heading to the barn.
