Episode Details

How one woman found her next act in her 50s, guiding people through healing and life transitions with the wisdom of horses.

In this inspiring episode of Her Next Act, host Joan Paul sits down with Patty Ganey, co-founder of The Next Step in Lyme, Connecticut, to explore how horses help us reconnect with authenticity, release old stories, and embrace the power of being fully present.

Patty shares her journey from corporate life and raising a family to pursuing her lifelong passion for horses in midlife, and how that passion grew into a powerful program that transforms lives. 

Employng the EQUUS Effect, she and her business partner guide veterans, first responders, and women in transition to process emotions, build resilience, and experience profound breakthroughs, often in a matter of hours.

Whether you’ve ever loved horses - or not - this conversation will open your eyes to:

• What being in the presence of horses can teach us - how tuning in with the messages your body is sending you can be so helpful in getting in touch with ourselves, supporting us to get into alignment with our emotions and what we may need and want.
• Recognizing how vulnerability, authenticity, and congruence play a vital role in healing.
• The surprising power of unmounted equine experiences for stress, life transitions and personal exploration and growth
• And as always, the message that it's never too late to follow a passion and create your own “Next Act.”
