The Whole Horse Podcast | Episode 126 | What horses can teach us about healthy boundaries with Kim Hallin
What a deep and necessary conversation I had the pleasure of sharing with Kim Hallin, owner of Unbridled LLC. Kim’s tagline is “Stay true to yourself so you can stay true to your horse” and this is exactly the road we went down in this episode, exploring the world of boundaries in ourselves, in our horses and in the equine industry at large.
It was so insightful to hear Kim’s experience and perspective on why boundaries are the foundation of the work she offers, and to get to chat about some areas where I see this edge coming up in my own life and in my communities.
We rounded off the episode with some thoughts as to how this all pertains to horse-keeping, and I even teased a bit of information on my soon-to-be launched new business (listeners of the podcast will be the first to know when it is ready!), Outside the Box Equine.
Kim Hallin is the founder and equine-inspired soul guide at Unbridled, LLC in Charleston, SC
and the author of Horse Wisdom: Life Lessons for Humanity. A compassionate horsewoman who upholds the integrity of the horse, she loves facilitating transformational healing experiences between humans and equines. She specializes in teaching the subject of boundaries based in nature’s model of a healthy herd community. Kim is a naturally gifted mentor and guide who nurtures supportive learning environments that shift perspectives while ensuring all participants (two legged and four legged) feel safe, honored and supported.
In 2017, Kim left a 20-year career in higher education management and fundraising to focus her
full-time energies on launching Unbridled. The driving motivation behind Kim’s work is her own
personal experience of partnering with horses to discover (and remember) what it means to look to Mother Nature for our answers.
I hope our conversation leaves you with some food for thought; stay tuned for more!
