Episode 50In this episode I share the airwaves with two fantastic horsemen. To be honest, I feel like I just witnessed a conversation that should have taken place over an open fire between two cowboys. What an honor it was to facilitate this conversation that is JAM PACKED with gold nuggets of personal improvement as horse owners and humans as well as horse trainers. With every story told by Mike the lessons got better and better. I hope you enjoy this authentic, vulnerable, and real conversation between friends over the love of the horse! Follow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Find Mike Moser online @:https://www.facebook.com/mikemoserreinersFind Dan Northrup online @:https://www.facebook.com/Northrup-Quarter-Horses-1304280739594247/https://www.instagram.com/dannorthrup/Purchase The Conscious Communicator online @:https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/772389-the-conscious-communicatorhttps://www.amazon.ca/Conscious-Communicator-Connection-Inspired-Horsemanship/dp/1982217375/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SL8DE7C6AJ2B&keywords=nikki+porter&qid=1574711772&sprefix=Nikki+Po%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/the-conscious-communicator-the-pursuit/9781982217372-item.html?ikwid=Nikki+Porter&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0

Take the Reins

Interview with Mike Moser & Dan Northrup: Spoken like a True Horseman

In this episode I share my emotional story of resiliency in 2020. From topics of guilt, to needing to make big changes, to finding myself breaking down mentally and emotionally at the bottom of a waterfall supported by two incredible friends, to finding the strength and support I needed to come into 2021 feeling stronger than ever. Links Mentioned:https://www.amazon.ca/We-Are-Unbreakable-Stories-Resilience/dp/B08NY7TTHPhttps://www.amazon.ca/Conscious-Communicator-Connection-Inspired-Horsemanship/dp/1982217375/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+conscious+communicator&qid=1609805659&s=books&sr=1-1nikki@nikkiporter.cahttps://www.instagram.com/karendeanspeaks/Follow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Purchase The Conscious Communicator online @:https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/772389-the-conscious-communicatorhttps://www.amazon.ca/Conscious-Communicator-Connection-Inspired-Horsemanship/dp/1982217375/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SL8DE7C6AJ2B&keywords=nikki+porter&qid=1574711772&sprefix=Nikki+Po%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/the-conscious-communicator-the-pursuit/9781982217372-item.html?ikwid=Nikki+Porter&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0

Soft is strong

Welcome to my last episode of 2020! In this episode I help you gain clarity around setting yourself up for success heading into the new year by offering my go to method of setting clear intentions that help  you navigate your days through feel. Along with my advice on how to head into the new year with clear intentions, I also share ways for you to begin to live your life more intentionally in and out of the arena. 

Setting up for success in 2021

This episode is not your typical Take the Reins episode. Today's episode was scheduled to be a tissue worthy interview with two incredible horsemen, however, due to technical issues that episode will be released in early 2021. As  a result, I use this time to wish you well and take the deep breath that I need as we all head into the remainder of the holiday season. 

Taking a deep breath

In this episode I share with you the power of belief and how a specific belief I hold helps me navigate my life and horsemanship from a place of trust and reassurance, even during times that it looks like life is working against me. Links Mentioned:https://take-the-reins.simplecast.com/episodes/s2e41-interview-with-beth-killough-awareness-channelsnikki@nikkiporter.ca - Email for The Aware Horsewoman wait listhttps://www.marieforleo.com/shop/  Follow me online @:https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/TikTok- @nikkiportercoaching Purchase The Conscious Communicator online @:https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/772389-the-conscious-communicatorhttps://www.amazon.ca/Conscious-Communicator-Connection-Inspired-Horsemanship/dp/1982217375/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SL8DE7C6AJ2B&keywords=nikki+porter&qid=1574711772&sprefix=Nikki+Po%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/the-conscious-communicator-the-pursuit/9781982217372-item.html?ikwid=Nikki+Porter&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0

Interview with Elysia Buss: Partnering with horses and humans

In this episode I continue the important conversation around personal awareness. I share another amazing exercise that serves as a personal assessment tool that allows you to take an honest look at where you are in life.
