In this episode, I chat with Nikki Porter, an Equestrian Mindset Coach and Author. She has been involved with horses for years and loves personal development which led her to write her book, The Conscious Communicator which covers the pursuit of joy and human connection inspired by the art of horsemanship. Together we dive into: -Nikki's upbringing with horses and when she learnt to ride  -Transitioning from English riding to Western -Working as a teacher and teaching horsemanship clinics on weekends -The transition away from teaching to working with horses with her husband -How she gravitated towards diving into mindset/personal growth and how that was showing up in horsemanship lessons -Her book The Conscious Communicator and her publishing journey -The importance of knowing who your audience is -Lessons learnt from horses that she now applies in her own life -Being soft and developing feel -Being vulnerable to enhance connection -Taking responsibility for how we show up with our horses -Zooming out and having scope over situations -The equestrian wheel of wellness and how it can be used to assess what areas of our life we can enhance -The types of clients she works with and the ripple effect of mindset work on your whole life and so much more!
