In this episode, I share a profound experience I had with a group of elder rescue horses at a retreat I hosted—and how they helped me see strength in a different way.
A circle formed with four horses, six women, and two dogs, all coming together by some unseen force. And in that circle, the horses showed us that strength doesn’t have to be about dominance or power.
That experience led me to reflect on my own leadership and the qualities I once believed made a leader “strong”—qualities I didn’t possess. I’ve come to understand that my quieter way of leading—listening, reflecting, creating space, and bringing different perspectives together—is its own kind of strength.
It’s what I bring to the circle.
This episode asks you to consider: What do you bring that strengthens your circle?
