In this episode of Saddle Up, Mama, I’m joined by the director of Bridle Up Hope, a nonprofit using horses to bring healing, confidence, and restoration to women and children. We talk about the powerful role horses play in emotional healing, the heart behind the organization, and why connection — not perfection — is often the most important part of the journey. This conversation is a reminder that hope can be rebuilt gently, one step at a time.

Growing on social media can feel confusing, overwhelming, and honestly… way more complicated than it needs to be. In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually matters when it comes to growing online — and what doesn’t.

We’re talking about why it’s not really the algorithm holding you back, how to use reels and TikTok in a way that feels doable, why overthinking your numbers can stall your growth, and how consistency and connection matter more than perfection. I also share my honest thoughts on collaborations, tagging and hashtags, and why the most successful content is almost always relatable and shareable — not polished or “perfect.”

If you’ve been wanting to grow your platform but feel stuck, discouraged, or like you’re trying to crack some impossible code, this episode is for you. Real growth comes from showing up, creating from the heart, and trusting that the right people will find you.
