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.

Horses have a way of reflecting what we don’t always want to see — not to shame us, but to bring us back into presence.
In this episode of Saddle Up Mama, we explore how our horses often respond less to our hands and more to our nervous system, our emotions, and the energy we bring into the moment. Whether you ride horses or not, this conversation is about leadership, self-awareness, and the quiet ways our inner world shows up in our outer relationships.
We’ll talk about why control stops working, how tension transfers without a word being spoken, and what it looks like to lead with calm, clarity, and softness — in the saddle, in motherhood, and in everyday life.
This isn’t about blame or perfection. It’s about awareness, connection, and learning to trust yourself again.
