Presenters and Topics
Dr. D (TeewithD)- A native Southern Albertan, Doc was raised within her family’s small business, serving the farmers, ranchers, tradespeople, and other entrepreneurs around her hometown. She learned the challenges of Ag life first-hand and witnessed how our economy and our food supply is dependent upon the work and sacrifices of rural families – and women. Never forgetting these lessons, she has spent the past thirty years empowering youth, young adults, and women to remember their roots while developing the voices, ideas, confidence, and skill to share their stories and realities powerfully and engagingly.

As an Internationally Certified Coach, University Professor, International Speaker and Storyteller, Writer and Humorist, “Doc” believes every person – especially women - has far more to say.
Carola- who has dedicated most of her life to not only starting young horses, but also to educating trainers/handlers on the importance of understanding the herd and prey instinct. As the founder of ProHorse Carola has successfully created a digestible liberty horse training program backed by scientific evidence, in hopes to validate practices that are Pro-Horse rather than problematic. Working alongside Carola is former client turned best friend and business partner Hannah Ayearst.
Hannah leads the Human Skills Development side of the ProHorse program using her passion for compassion to relay and translate feedback that horses provide to humans on the impressions they make to the world around them. Like so many others- growing up Hannah had a particularly hard time developing and maintaining self-confidence, ruminating thoughts of self-doubt and insecurity, She often gravitated towards meeting the needs of others rather than working on herself. It wasn’t until apprenticing with ProHorse that Hannah half-accidentally came across the transformative change that self-confidence brought to her personal and professional life.

- Session One: Ever felt like you can’t speak up? Like the words get stuck or that your thoughts aren’t worth hearing? Ever questioned your qualifications to “be at the table” or told yourself that your accomplishments aren’t ‘real’ or ‘enough’? You’re not alone: Imposter Syndrome is very powerful, and it impacts strong and independent women no matter the career, industry, or stage of life they’re in. And no one talks about it. In this session, you’ll learn:
- What Imposter Phenomenon is and how it takes away your confidence and joy
- How to stop the cycle of belief – feeling – thought – action that keeps you quiet
- How myths about ‘introverts’ and ‘extroverts’ limit you and your abilities to engage with others in productive and powerful ways
- Session Two: Here’s the truth: Being a woman in 2024 is hard than ever. Why? Because “having it all” seems to also mean “doing it all” – and we just can’t. There aren’t enough hours. There isn’t enough energy. There isn’t enough of ‘us’. But we sure try, don’t we? Finding a balance between what’s realistic and what we’re responsible for is one of the hardest tasks we ever face. At its core, this session is about empowering you to create awareness about what you can choose and what you have let choose you. In this session, you’ll explore:
- YOUR ‘why’ (not anybody else’s!)
- YOUR ‘how’ (what YOU can do with what YOU have)
- YOUR ‘when’ (the timelines that work for YOUR life)

- Using liberty horsemanship as a tool participants will learn about cultivating confidence, using clear communication skills and how to practice self-sustainability (you can’t pour from an empty cup). In these sessions participants will have the opportunity to see just how much horses must teach all while offering humans a safe space to learn. Ladies will leave knowing more about how they can show up to lead as their most confident and authentic selves. No horse liberty experience required, and participants are not required to handle horses but are welcome/encouraged to do so.
- Every participant will get some one-on-one time with the horse and Carola to use body language right and to experience what difference it makes if they are confident in what they are asking. This is to be very collaborative and a participant lead discussion- We hope participants are willing to be brave, vulnerable, and open to feedback. First component will be learning to be confident/strength, leadership etc. enough for the horse to join up with human. Second= creating a safe enough place for a horse to lay down. Softness, fairness, persistence, regulation etc.

- Yoga Session- Heidi will guide a vinyasa yoga practice to explore softness and strength. We will work on subtle shifting to find centre and balance, open our hips and find inner leg engagement, all essential for equestrians! Our practice will end with a land based meditation perfect for an evening on the ranch!
