Inspire Me Forward
Inspire Me Forward is a series of conversations where guests from all walks of life and every corner of the world Share Their Stories.
We are now in Season 6: Inspire Me Equine
It came into our hearts that Equine Leadership and Inspire Me Forward should collaborate and delve into the Horse~Human relationship and the paradigm that is the herd.
Equine Leadership (www.equineleadership.ca) is a publication of short stories sharing the voice and wisdom of the horse, now going into its 11th year. Inspire Me Forward (in its 3rd year) is a podcast sharing stories of life and all of the pieces that hold it together, even when it might feel like it's falling apart.
This moment in time seemed like the perfect evolution of the two and it felt natural to invite the horses and authors from Equine Leadership. In this space, they will share their own unique ways of bringing the voice and wisdom of the horse to the human world.
Equine Leadership has a unique vision: We believe that horses, living as close to nature as possible, can provide a paradigm of living that is clear, authentic, and heart-based. There is much to learn that is good for all of humanity, as well as the collective that we call Earth. Spending time observing and interacting with the paradigm of the horses is a move to simplify life, to connect with something profound and enlightening. Their natural way of life offers insight into our truest paths. When we step outside of the ring and into the herd, we experience a relationship of equity and compassion.
At Inspire Me Forward, our belief is that we inspire others when we share our stories and share a collective connection. We let each other know that they are not alone in this big, beautiful world. "The courage it takes to share one's story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to a brighter tomorrow".

Inspire Me Forward Episode 33 Panel Discussion 2 ~ The Life of Death
This was the second of two panel discussions we are hosting on Inspire Me Forward entitled: The Life of Death
Life and Death, A Celebration of Life, A Living Funeral, The Cycle of Life, Transitioning or Crossing Over. They all include two things; the living and those that have passed or are passing. Yet, we tend to only speak of the living part. The dying part has been put in a corner for far too long. So, WE are going to talk about it all. The Life of Death. What space does each hold in that cycle of life? How do we hold space for the living and the dying? How do we process it all?
I offer such deep gratitude for our panel: Claire Misson and Gabriela Ostendorfer. Thank you so Louise Gallegher for doing her best to join us but technology had other thoughts. Thank you all.
Each panelist shared their stories with a deep love and authenticity. The learnings in the endings offer us all a chance to live with more heart and honesty.
I will leave you to find your inspiration within the words and the heart of all that was said.
From my heart to yours, Lynda
