Episode 2: Just be Nice

The Pegasus Perspective Transformational Podcast

In Episode Two of the Pegasus Perspective Podcast, titled "Just Be Nice," Amanda Held interviews Jodine Adelman, founder of Gaits of Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people heal through the power of horses. In this heartfelt conversation, Jodine opens up about her personal journey of overcoming significant challenges, starting from the childhood programming that took away her voice and made her feel small and powerless. She reflects on how these early experiences shaped her understanding of self-worth and how it took years to reclaim her voice.

Jodine shares her battle through cancer, a transformative period in her life that forced her to confront her limitations, both physically and emotionally. She explains how this battle gave her the courage to leave an abusive relationship, choosing to create a life of purpose, love, and fulfillment on her own terms. Through vulnerability and determination, Jodine rebuilt her life, ultimately finding healing through horses and dedicating herself to impacting others through Gaits of Hope.

Her nonprofit uses equine-assisted services to help individuals recover from trauma, just as horses helped her on her own path. Jodine discusses the importance of kindness—hence the episode's title, "Just Be Nice"—and how, for her, kindness begins with being gentle with oneself. Through her work at Gaits of Hope, she encourages others to find their own voices, heal emotional wounds, and step into their true selves.

The episode is an inspiring exploration of resilience, healing, and the incredible impact that one person can have on humanity when they choose to live authentically and with purpose.
