What if learning to read could be playful, joyful, and even involve horses? 🐴✨

In this inspiring episode of Interviews with Innocence, I welcome Michele Pickel, PhD, Emeriti Professor of Education at Concordia University-St. Paul and the creator of Horse Powered Reading®. After more than two decades training teachers and teaching children from PreK–12, Michele developed a groundbreaking equine-assisted learning program that engages the mind, body, and emotions to help struggling readers thrive.

Horse Powered Reading® uses interactive games and activities with horses to bring reading skills to life. Students build confidence, improve literacy, and experience the joy of learning in a completely new way. Since 2012, the program has trained more than 950 facilitators across all 50 U.S. states and in 24 countries, creating a global movement that blends education, healing, and the power of the human–horse connection.

Michele’s passion for helping children not only succeed academically but also feel seen, supported, and empowered shines throughout this conversation. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply someone who believes in innovative ways to support kids, this episode will open your heart. 💖

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, I welcome Anne-Claire Le Bihan, Spirit Baby Medium and Spiritual Fertility Guide, who helps women connect with the soul of their babies and reclaim the sacred power of motherhood.

Anne-Claire shares how she guides women to tune into their intuition, clear energetic blocks, and open their hearts to deep connection with their Spirit Babies. Her work is rooted in love, empowerment, and the belief that motherhood is not just a physical path, but a spiritual one — a journey of alignment, trust, and co-creation with the soul who is ready to come through.

We talk about the transformative power of listening to our bodies, trusting our soul path, and creating space for joy and possibility. While Anne-Claire also gently holds space for grief and loss, her message is one of hope: that every woman carries within her the wisdom and connection to walk this sacred journey with grace.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• What it means to communicate with your Spirit Baby

• How to reconnect with your intuition and raise your vibration

• The sacred path of conception, pregnancy, and birth as a spiritual journey

• Ways to navigate challenges with compassion while staying rooted in empowerment

• Practices to feel supported, inspired, and connected along the fertility and motherhood path

Anne-Claire’s work is a reminder that you are never alone — that your baby’s soul is always near, guiding and supporting you on your journey.
