I am so excited to introduce you to today's guest, Dana Croschere. Dana is an award-winning film producer and has spent the last 15 years volunteering at various ranches, immersing herself in the transformative world of equine-assisted therapies and witnessing the healing power, presence, and sacred connection between horses and humans. 

When I first heard about her latest film, Rescued Hearts (coming in 2024), which takes a look at unpacking this incredible horse-human connection, I knew I had to bring her onto the podcast. In her own words, Rescued Hearts isn't just the story of horses; it's the story of all of us and the power that lies within to create healing and transformation in our lives.

We discuss:

• The miraculous event that unveiled the healing power of horses and forever changed the way she sees them
• How capturing the most incredible stories of transformation of people whose lives have been touched by horses changed her preconceptions
• Why do horses seem to impact humans so deeply, and what is it that creates the healing effect?
• Why film is her chosen method of celebrating the therapeutic power of horses
• The ways we limit our trust and connection with horses and how we can change it

Malaine Leah Butler is back in this Part 2 to continue our discussion of the 12 Human Design profiles that deepen the understanding of our human design body charts - both for ourselves and our horses!

Malaine is a master at helping others use their Human Design charts to enhance their relationships and businesses to create next-level results. In our first conversation (episodes 8-10), we discussed the basics of Human Design, learned why it’s so effective in unlocking breakthroughs, bringing clarity to decisions, and connecting people with a deeper understanding of themselves.

In episodes 17-19, we went deeper into the energy types, strategy, definition, and the so-called variables. In this Part 2 on Human Design profiles, we continue chatting about: 

• What the first and the second number in the Human Design profiles indicate
• Decoding the importance of the Sun’s position in our Human Design body charts
• How do we pinpoint our blind spots and stop sabotaging ourselves?
• Harmonious vs Inharmonious profiles
• Is life just easier for harmonious profiles?

Welcome back to Part 2 of our discussion on Equine Breathing with Clare Frost! Clare is based in the UK and she developed the Equine Breathing technique 25 years ago to help her horse, Cool Rain, who had developed severe head-shaking. By applying respiration physiology principles, Clare was able to develop a breathing training technique for the horse and the results were stunning!

She then tried the technique with a windsucker and a pony afflicted by sweet itch who both showed similar success. She realized that this technique could bring relief and improved health to large numbers of horses, and made it available for free to everyone who would like to use it. We continue our discussion with:

• The importance of understanding the underlying causes of breathing issues in horses
• Potential of equine breathing for overall horse well-being
• Carbon dioxide's vital role in enabling the utilization of oxygen in the body
• How carbon dioxide helps with muscle relaxation
• The mechanism of equine breathing and carbon dioxide workings in the horses’ well-being
