Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall

Do you catch yourself saying "I'm behind" so often it feels like a permanent state of being? That nagging sense of always playing catch-up can follow us from the house to the barn, affecting everything from daily tasks to our horsemanship goals. Join Stacy as she shares her journey from thinking "being behind" was unchangeable to discovering a path toward relief.

Key takeaways:

• Your body sends clear warning signals about feeling behind - do you know yours?
• While switching plans mid-execution might feel like relief, but Stacy shares it often creates a pattern that shows up in unexpected places, including your relationship with your horse
• What appears as a time management problem often masks a deeper issue with mental clutter that keeps you stuck in the "behind" cycle
