The Horse That Taught Me Wisdom with Christina Gann

#21. In this first episode of 2025, I sit down with Christina Gann, an artist, nature enthusiast, and dear friend, to explore the wisdom gained from life's experiences. Christina shares a personal story about her journey in horsemanship as a child, an experience that taught her the importance of inner awareness, trust, and partnership.

We reflect on:

  • The importance of self-awareness: Recognizing that lasting change begins from within.
  • Lessons from failure: How stepping back and reflecting on difficult moments can provide clarity over time.
  • The power of reflection: Journaling, meditation, and other practices that help process emotions and develop wisdom.
  • Wisdom in relationships: Building trust and collaboration, whether with people or, in Christina’s case, a horse.
  • Perspective and growth: Viewing challenges as learning opportunities, rather than sources of blame or regret.

Christina also shares her daily habits for cultivating wisdom and offers timeless advice for those seeking to grow in self-awareness and understanding.

This episode reminds us that life's lessons often reveal themselves over time and through reflection. Listen to inspiring conversations encouraging us to look inward, embrace growth, and trust the journey.

Key Quote:

“For everything you have missed, you gain something. For everything you gain, you lose something else.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
