What happens when we really slow down—enough to feel, to listen, and to connect soul-to-soul?

This week on Interviews with Innocence, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Nicola Amadora—a psychologist, spiritual teacher, trauma and equine therapist, author, and speaker whose work is changing lives around the world.

From a young girl seeking refuge in a horse stable, to a global teacher helping people return to their hearts, Nicola’s journey is profound, inspiring, and deeply human.

In this episode, we explore:
🐎 How horses help us heal trauma, reconnect with our intuition, and return to presence
💫 How “soul gazing” can transform relationships—especially between parents and children
🌿 Practical tools for families to bring mindfulness and sacred connection into daily life
🧘‍♀️ Stories of transformation and trust that will stay with you long after the episode ends
💗 Why presence—not perfection—is the most powerful healing we can offer

Whether you're a parent, educator, healer, or simply someone longing for deeper connection, this conversation is a reminder of what really matters.

🐴✨ Meet Jody Nixon! 🎙️

This week, we’re diving into the extraordinary world of equine healing with Jody Nixon, the visionary behind Metaphorse—a sanctuary where rescued horses help heal humans in ways that words cannot fully capture.

💡 “We rescue horses who rescue people.”

Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Montrose, Colorado, Metaphorse is a place where emotional wounds are met with silent understanding, and where horses—especially older, retired ones—become profound teachers and healers.

In this episode, we explore:
🐴 How horses intuitively sense human emotions & pain
💛 What it means to be “heart-centered” in healing
🌿 The science & spirituality behind equine energy exchanges
👶 Why children, in particular, thrive in horse-led healing sessions
✨ Incredible stories of transformation—both for the horses and the humans who love them

Horses have a way of teaching us, grounding us, and helping us heal on the deepest levels. Jody’s journey—from horse lover to healer—is one of resilience, trust, and deep spiritual connection. Whether you’re drawn to animals, curious about energy healing, or just love a great story of redemption and hope, this episode will speak to your soul.
