The Whole Horse Podcast | Episode 153 | The Opportunity in Injury with Josh Nichol
For this very special episode of the podcast, Josh Nichol of Relational Horsemanship and I sat down to chat about his recent life-altering riding accident and subsequent injury. We unpacked a whole lot in this hour – Josh shares in detail what happened that day that his whole life changed, how his recovery is going, how he’s feeling about all of it and his perspective on why things happened the way they did. As you might imagine, Josh’s perspective will probably surprise and inspire you – he is seeing a precious opportunity for stillness, pause and a big life shift in the space created by his injury and his recovery journey. I also share about my recent transition of my dog Reilly and the powerful experience we had here on the farm and we get into how life can show us the way if we let it.
I invite you to grab a cup of tea or a muck fork and put your head phones on (ideally with some kleenex in your pocket). You may want to come back a time or two more with a journal to write in. This one is full to the brim of Josh wisdom. Enjoy the journey!
