The Western Hippie | Holistic Healing for dogs, horses, and humans
Welcome to the Western Hippie Podcast! I’m on a journey to find the best w-holistic remedies for my dogs, horses, myself, and YOU! Because we’re not just one thing. We’re not just an arm, an emotion, or a heart, we’re ALL OF THE THINGS, and it’s all connected.
My goal is to
1) Share my findings with you
2) Teach you how to develop your own holistic healing philosophy
3) And take care of your dogs and horses in a way that’s best for you and them
I promise to talk about all the things: the good, the hard, the beautiful, and the ugly and share those in the most honest and authentic way I can.
If you have a subject you want me to cover, please send an email with the subject line PODCAST TOPIC to michaelalpaluck@gmail.com
Thank you for being here at The Western Hippie. Willie and I appreciate you ♥️
