Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

35. The 40-Something Dressage Diva: Marcela Pomphrey
Q: When did you start riding regularly and how did motherhood influence that?
She started riding in her 40s after her daughter was born, used riding as time for herself, and gradually increased intensity to three times a week as family life allowed, eventually buying her own horse and integrating riding into family routines.
35. The 40-Something Dressage Diva: Marcela Pomphrey
Q: Did you love horses as a kid? How did you get to them?
Marcela describes being obsessed with horses from a very young age, growing up in Czechoslovakia, not having access to horses due to finances, but eventually riding as a teen and then pursuing riding seriously later in life after moving to the UK.
36. IVF, Identity Shifts & Life After Pro Grooming: Sarah Farrell
Q: How did you navigate the early stages of IVF and keep moving forward?
The process was emotionally exhausting, but focusing on the belief that motherhood was meant for me, leaning on hope while acknowledging the struggle, and seeking practical steps helped me get through each phase, culminating in Connor's arrival after rounds of IUI and IVF.
26. Pregnancy After Miscarriage: Caroline Culbertson of Horse Person Podcast
Q: How did you approach talking to your kids about miscarriage and the new pregnancy?
I prioritized open, age-appropriate conversations, invited questions, and reassured them that love for the baby remains even if the pregnancy didn't go as hoped, tailoring explanations to each child's level of understanding.
34. When A Rancher Finds Polo: Lee Evans Lee
Q: What are you consuming for yourself and for Mrs Momma Bear to stay inspired and grow the brand?
She talks about reading, design inspiration from nature and art, and staying connected to her roots while evolving the brand, mentioning shows like Yellowstone/1883 as inspiration and a focus on maintaining joy and balance.
