Episode Details

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I had a heartfelt conversation with Shane Jacob—a professional horseman and life coach who’s genuinely walked the hard road from self-doubt to self-acceptance. We dove deep into what it really means to have a loving relationship with ourselves, how easy it is to get stuck judging ourselves for our mistakes, and the crucial role of keeping promises to ourselves—just like we would with the people we truly care about. Shane opened up about his personal struggles, including how chasing relief led him down tough paths, and how the real turning point was learning to truly value and trust himself. My hope is that you walk away from this episode inspired to reflect on your own self-relationship, and maybe even start taking those baby steps toward believing in your infinite worth. Thanks for listening—let’s keep growing together!
