Reshape Your Self-Image to Move with Ease, Elegance and Balance

March 23, 2023 • Mary Debono • Season 1 • Episode 53

Did you know that YOU get to decide who you are?

Not your parents, teachers, siblings, friends, coworkers, or random people on the internet.

But most of us don’t realize that. We’ve let others shape us and decide who we are. We create our identities, often at a young age.

And these identities can often prevent us from achieving our full athletic and creative potential.

The good news is that you CAN reshape your identity! You can create a self-image that's aligned with who you truly want to be.

This new self-image can help you become a healthier, more elegant move. A more skilled horsewoman. Even a cool-as-a-cucumber artist!
