In this profound and illuminating episode, Stephen and Rob sit down with intuitive healer and horse whisperer Sue Austen, founder of Bulls Wool Farm Park and practitioner of Contact CARE. What begins with a story of healing injured horses unfolds into a deep exploration of the body’s energetic memory, intergenerational trauma, intuitive therapy, and the fine line between ancient wisdom and modern woo.
Sue shares how she transitioned from working with physically broken horses to becoming a deeply attuned therapist for people suffering from physical and emotional pain—especially those carrying the hidden weight of abuse, trauma, and generational wounding.
With a balance of earthy practicality and cosmic insight, Sue reveals how "flinch locks"—surprise impacts stored in the bones—can be gently released, unlocking profound healing. The conversation also explores predator/prey dynamics, energetic imprints, the power of intuitive sensing, and the deeper spiritual purpose behind Sue’s work.

Quote of the Episode:
"I feel like I have a remnant of what hunter-gatherers used to do—like I’m being guided to the stuck, wounded ones... whether it’s a sheep in the blackberry bush or a soul in distress." – Sue Austen
