What does true wellness look like—beyond diets, green juices, and morning routines? 🌱 In this raw and inspiring episode, we sit down with Sue Willoughby, founder of Willoughby Coaching, to explore environmental wellness through a radically different lens—Equus Coaching 🐎. Sue's lived experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by a single alcoholic parent, she's walked through fire and come out fierce: a DJ, stand-up comic, private pilot, and Roller Derby ref turned transformational coach. Today, she helps women over 40 reconnect with themselves through deep connection with horses and the natural world 🌿. We unpack: 🔸How nature and animals reveal the truth we hide from ourselves. 🔸Why environmental wellness isn't just about where you live—but how you live 🔸The healing power of honest, embodied presence (with a little help from her horse Moose) 🐴 🔸How to step out of fear and into authentic power at any age 👉 Connect with Sue: 🔗 Website: www.willoughbycoaching.com 🔗 LinkedIn: Sue Willoughby 🔗 Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/sue_willoughby 📩 Don't forget to subscribe, like, and comment—your support helps us grow this wellness conversation! 🌐 Connect With Us: 🎙 Podcast Website: https://womenconnectedinwisdompodcast.com/ 📸 IG: @WomenConnectedInWisdom 📘 Facebook Group: Women Connected in Wisdom Community Glo from head to toe by joining the Shealo Glo Glo club at www.shealoglo.com!
