The Real Reason You Never Feel “Caught Up” - #214

If you’re an ambitious rider trying to juggle horses, work, family, goals, money, fitness, and your sanity… this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

Today, I and Lorna dive into one of the biggest struggles riders face: How do you manage everything without feeling overwhelmed, guilty, or constantly behind? And the honest answer? You don’t “balance” it. Because balance is a myth, an illusion we keep chasing, then beating ourselves up for not catching.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why riders don’t actually have a time problem, they have a thinking problem
• How overwhelm isn’t failure… it’s the abundance of everything you once wished for
• The link between your to-do list and your limiting beliefs
• Why your mind becomes a “washing machine” of pressure, and how to stop feeding it
•  The REAL reason you procrastinate (hint: it’s not laziness)
• How to recognize when your subconscious is trying to protect you
• Why some days you glide through 80 tasks and others you can’t handle five
• The secret difference between an “incapable rider” and an “incapable state”

This episode gives you the awareness, the metaphors, and the mental models to finally understand:

1. why you feel overwhelmed
2. why your brain spirals
3. why you keep recreating the same stress patterns
4. and how to start shifting out of them with compassion instead of criticism

Whether you’re riding six horses a day or squeezing in one evening ride after work, this conversation will help you stop fighting your mind and start working with it.
