I’m back after a much-needed break and a whole lot of reflection. This episode is my personal reset. I share why I paused the podcast, what I’ve learned from producing over 100 interviews, and how Black In The Saddle is evolving into something more intentional, grounded, and community-driven. If you’ve been riding with me for a while, or you’re just saddling up, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I cover

• The evolution from Young Black Equestrians to Black In The Saddle
• Burnout, balance, and why I had to step away
• What I’m craving more of: depth, research, real conversations
• How the podcast will be more strategic (think: panels, Patreon, meet-ups)
• Why your voice and ideas are part of what’s next
