Seven weeks. Countless breakthroughs.

These women showed up with courage, tenderness, and truth.

Together, we unbridled a little more freedom each week.

Here’s to every woman remembering that she was never broken, only bridled. đŸ©”

For many high-achieving women, performance and achievement were never just goals; they were the currency of love.

“Do it right.”
“Make them proud.”
Keep it together.

That wiring doesn’t disappear in adulthood.

It just shifts from grades and goals to relationships and belonging.

But love that depends on performance can never feel safe.

Horses remind us that presence is enough. đŸ©”

You don’t think you’re seeking approval.
You think you’re being strategic.

You read every room.
You anticipate others' needs before they ask.
You stay composed, collected, in control.

At work, it’s praised as professionalism.
But at home, it can leave you feeling unseen,
like you’re performing for connection instead of living it.

That’s what I call "Herd Approval Seeking," trading authenticity for belonging.
Not because you’re weak, but because your body remembers that approval once meant safety.

The truth is, what protects you in one environment can isolate you in another.

You don’t have to keep choosing peace at the cost of your truth.
You can have both: connection and authenticity.

The horses remind us of that.
They don’t negotiate who they are to stay accepted by the herd.
They belong by being real.

So can you.

Where do you still seek approval before acting on your truth?
I’d love to hear in the comments, or know this: you’re not alone in unlearning this pattern. đŸ©”

You built it so young, you think it's just your personality.

The independence that looks like strength but feels like isolation. The "high standards" that keep everyone at arm's length. The "I'm fine" that's become your default response to everything.

This isn't who you are. This is who you learned to be when love felt uncertain.

"Don't be too much" became emotional minimalism.
"Don't be needy" became never asking for help.
"Stay strong" became never showing your cracks.

That controlling voice in your head convinced you that armor equals safety. But the protection that once kept you safe is now keeping you separate from the very connection your soul craves.

Your authentic self knows the difference between boundaries and walls. She knows that true strength includes softness. That independence can coexist with intimacy.

The woman beneath the armor? She's not too much. She's not needy. She's not weak.

She's human. And she deserves to be known.

I used to think I was broken.

That there was something fundamentally wrong with me because I couldn’t make relationships work.‹Because I kept running when things got difficult.‹Because I had built walls so high that no one could really see me.

But I wasn’t broken. I was just bridled.

Bridled by patterns I learned early.‹Bridled by armor that once protected me but eventually imprisoned me.‹Bridled by the belief that staying meant getting hurt, so leaving felt safer.

Everything changed when I learned the difference between protection and connection. When I discovered that vulnerability wasn’t weakness, it was the bridge to everything I’d been searching for.

This is what Unbridled Authenticityℱ taught me:‹We’re not meant to live small, armored, or performing.‹We’re meant to live free, genuine, and fully expressed.

Your wild, authentic self isn’t chaotic.‹She’s guided by your deepest truth.‹And she’s been waiting for you to slow down, listen, and finally come home to yourself.

Maybe you’ve been running too.‹Maybe the armor kept you safe once, and what if it’s time to lay it down and finally be unbridled? đŸ©”

It wasn’t infidelity that almost broke us, it was the story I believed about love. 💔

For the first time ever, I shared publicly how my childhood trauma nearly destroyed my marriage when we were newlyweds.

I was convinced my husband was cheating every time he traveled for work.

The sleepless nights.

The checking up.

The constant fear of being blindsided again.

But the truth was he never cheated once in 32 years.

It wasn’t him; it was my unhealed story running the show.

This week’s video is probably the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever posted.

If you’ve ever felt like your past wounds keep showing up in your relationships, or that fear keeps you from trusting the love that’s right in front of you, this one’s for you.

👉 Watch: https://youtu.be/sq-GnN8Qcd4

You can’t make love feel safe by managing it. You make it safe by healing the part of you that learned it wasn’t. đŸ©”

10/21/2025

You make tough calls at work without flinching, but in relationships, you overthink, poll friends, and second-guess what you feel.

That’s not weakness. It’s conditioning.
You were taught to trust your mind more than your body.

Fear is loud and urgent.
Intuition is calm and grounded.

Slow down.
Breathe.
Ask your body: “Is this fear? Or is this my truth?” đŸ©”

Horses don’t fix us; they remind us how to come home to ourselves.

Through presence. Through breath. Through truth.

The wisdom they offer in the barn translates to every part of life, even here. đŸ©”

If you’ve been following along
this week, you might be feeling a mix of things:
😔 Awareness of how often you silence yourself
💧 Grief for all the moments you didn’t speak your truth
đŸ”„ Maybe even anger toward the people, or systems, that taught you to stay quiet

This is part of the Unbridling Processℱ.

Before we can release old patterns, we have to see them clearly.
And sometimes, seeing them hurts.

But here’s what waits on the other side of that discomfort:
✹ Relationships built on real connection, not performance
✹ Less resentment and more ease
✹ Freedom from constant self-monitoring
✹ Access to your authentic desires and voice
✹ The quiet aliveness that comes from being fully expressed

Voice Reining is just one of the five Bridling Patterns I work with in my Unbridled Authenticityℱ framework:
🐮 Herd Approval Seeking
🐮 Self-Shrinking
🐮 Intuition Bridling
🐮 Boundary Trampling

Each one once protected you.
Each one can now be released with compassion.

If Voice Reining resonated and you’re ready to go deeper, my free Inner Child Meditation will help you reconnect with the part of you who spoke freely, before life taught you to hold back.

Next week, we’ll explore another Bridling Pattern.
Until then, practice speaking one small truth.
Your voice matters. Your truth deserves space.

Love doesn’t require your silence,it requires your authenticity.

đŸ©” You were born to run free. It’s safe to use your voice again.

Three small ways to start releasing Voice Reining this week đŸ©”

1ïžâƒŁ State a simple preference without justification.
When asked what you want, give an honest answer, and resist the urge to justify it.
Then pause and breathe.
Notice the urge to explain yourself, and let it pass.

2ïžâƒŁ Speak one small truth you’d usually suppress.
“I’m not in the mood for company tonight.”
“That comment hurt my feelings.”
“I actually like the other option better.”
Start small. These micro-moments build the muscle for bigger truths later.

3ïžâƒŁ Pause every time you say “I don’t know.”
Ask yourself: Do I really not know, or am I reining in my truth?
You don’t have to say it out loud yet. Just start noticing.
Awareness always comes first in unbridling any pattern.

Here’s what I know about you:
You have a voice. It’s been there all along, waiting beneath the reins.
You don’t need to find it; you need to stop silencing it.

After you speak, take a slow breath and notice: your body just practiced safety in authenticity. 🌿

Which of these feels most doable for you this week?
