"I Didn’t Think I Belonged..." How Janessa Became the Cowgirl She Dreamed Of

Hey! Prefer to listen instead of read the Newsletter? I got you! The Resilient Reiner Newsletter also comes as a podcast! 🎙️ Tune in to listen now!

Ever look around the barn and wonder, “Why does this feel so much harder for me than everyone else?”

You’ve got the horse.
You’re showing up.
You’re doing the work.

But for some reason… the confidence still isn’t clicking.
If you’ve ever felt like that, today’s episode of the Resilient Reiner Podcast is for you.

Because I’m sharing the story of one of my incredible clients, Janessa—and her journey from mental spirals and fear of solo rides… to leading a group trail ride with full trust in herself.

And no, she didn’t grow up around horses.
She didn’t have a fancy setup.
What she had was the willingness to do the real work—mentally.
