In this episode of the Horse Medicine Leadership Podcast, host Brittany Ashworth sits down with guest Carol Archie, who is from the Stswecem'c Xget'tem First Nation in the Secwépemc traditional territory, for a conversation about horses, identity, and the process of reconnecting with one's true self.
Carol shares her personal journey of moving through a world where she often felt defined by others, and how her connection with horses became a turning point in remembering who she is beneath external labels and expectations. Through stillness, presence, and a relationship with horses, she began to rediscover a deeper sense of authenticity and inner truth.
Together, they explore how horses invite us into presence, how they reflect our inner world, and how connection with them can open pathways to self-awareness and healing. Carol also speaks to the importance of intuition, self-worth, and learning to trust what arises within us when we slow down enough to listen.
This conversation is a reflection on identity, healing, and the quiet but powerful ways horses can guide us back to ourselves.
