Saddle Up, Mama
Welcome to Saddle Up, Mama — a weekly audio journal for women who are ready to reconnect with their confidence, creativity, and freedom, in and out of the saddle.
I’m Melissa — a mom of five, horsewoman, and creative soul sharing my own journey of getting back in the saddle, finding courage again, and living a slower, more intentional life.
Here, we talk about motherhood, fear, faith, and the wild beauty of starting over. Whether you’re on a horse, chasing dreams, or just trying to find yourself again — this space is for you.
So take a deep breath, saddle up, and let’s ride this season together.
