Rise, Heal, and Grow with Leah M. Hill

In this heartfelt episode of Rise, Heal, and Grow with Leah M. Hill, Leah sits down with Suzanne McPhail—licensed mental health counselor, EAGALA-certified equine therapy practitioner, and founder of Hands for Healing—to explore the profound connection between humans and horses as a path to emotional restoration. Suzanne shares how her work at the farm supports clients of all ages, particularly youth, in healing trauma, navigating grief, and finding focus through the intuitive, mirroring nature of horses. Together, they discuss the power of “clinical unlearning,” self-prioritization in a people-pleasing culture, and why the most transformative answers often come from within. This episode is an inspiring reminder that with openness, compassion, and the right guidance, we can cultivate a stronger, truer sense of self.
