From Fear to Fire: How Angela Got Her Confidence (and Her Groove) Back

The accident was months ago. 

You’ve rehabbed. 

You’ve practiced.

You haven’t forgotten how to ride.

So why does your stomach still drop when it’s time to lope off?
Why do the reins feel slippery the second a crowd is watching?

If that disconnect sounds way too familiar, swing a leg over the fresh episode of the Resilient Reiner Podcast—because my client Angela Bittencourt just laid it all out.

She’s an animal scientist, a ranch‑sorting competitor down in Brazil, and the definition of tough… but after a freak fall left her with two surgeries and a titanium plate, her confidence didn’t heal as fast as her bones.

And yet:

🚨 Last month she clocked personal‑best times on a new (even quicker) mare. 🚨

What changed wasn’t her horse, her tack, or her talent.
It was the way she trained her brain to ride forward instead of looking back.

In this episode you’ll hear:

✅ How Angela stopped chasing her “old self” and started riding as who she is now
✅ The sneaky pressure that shows up more in practice pens than on show day—and how to spot it
✅ Why getting a second horse accelerated her mental recovery (even though it was faster!)
✅ The 10‑minute morning reset that keeps work stress from following her into the saddle
✅ A fresh perspective on “fear vs. shame” every perfectionist rider needs to hear

✅ How she overcame fear in the saddle after an accident

(PS- I wasn’t planning to keep Ride Free open past Monday…)

But after hearing from so many of you—riders who are right on the edge of saying yes—I realized:

You don’t need more pressure.
You need more support.
And maybe just a little more time.

So I’m extending the deadline one time.

And today, I’m releasing a powerful new podcast episode with a client who shares exactly what happens when you finally stop letting fear call the shots.
You’ll hear what’s really possible—and what’s waiting for you inside Ride Free.

💥 If you’ve been riding with fear…
Spiraling in the saddle…
Or wondering if confidence is something you’ll ever get back…

Ride Free is your reset.
 🔸 Nervous system calm
🔸 Inner critic quiet
🔸 Real confidence back in the saddle

🗓 New deadline: Thursday at 11:59pm MST.
⚠️ After that, I’m locking it down so we can get started.
