She Punished Herself for Years—Then Horses Changed Everything

She Punished Herself for Years—Then Horses Changed Everything

The host returns after a prolonged break, feeling more aligned, and introduces Sharon Crabbe—coach, author, and lifelong horsewoman—whose work on “living a life less serious” inspired a new episode of Fabulous After 50. Sharon shares how a traumatic event in her twentiesled her to years of guilt, self-punishment, Depression, Anxiety, and breakdowns, shaped by a strict upbringing and difficult relationship with her father. She explains how natural horsemanship and later discovering the “three principles” or “inside-out understanding” transformed her perspective through insights like “don’t believe what you think” and “everyone is doing the best they can given their thinking in the moment,” bringing compassion for herself and her father. Sharon mentions her book, "How Horses Led Me to a Life Less Serious," her Skool community, and offers practical tips.

You Deserve to be Heard is the channel for women wanting to make the most of their lives.

Fabulous after Fifty coaching is for women wanting to fully embrace this part of their lives, changing what needs to be changed, letting go of that which no longer serves them, finally owning their uniqueness and daring to be heard.

In each 30+ minute episode I interview an expert in her field on a wide array of topics relevant to our tribe, sharing Wisdom, expertise, tips and tricks. I can guarantee you will not be bored!

Whereas my Fabulous after Fifty podcast can be listened to as we go about other activities, the idea of this youtube channel is to take notes and take action. If not now, when?
