Some seasons of entrepreneurship feel like you are moving through life at full gallop without ever touching the ground. You know there must be another way to work and live — one that feels steadier and more aligned — yet slowing down long enough to find it can be difficult. What if clarity and resilience come not from pushing harder, but from reconnecting with yourself?

According to Helen Ingersoll, a teacher of teachers and a lifelong student of embodied wisdom, the answer begins with learning to stay in your own body. She explains that the lessons she draws from horses have shaped her ability to recognize fear, pause before reacting, and choose responses that bring her closer to balance instead of deeper into avoidance. When Helen notices a horse startle or shut down, she sees her own patterns reflected, which helps her interrupt behaviors driven by fear or overgiving. Helen shares how these insights guided her through major life transitions, including stepping away from a long career, embracing needed rest, and redesigning her work as she steps into the role of caring for her mother.

In this episode of The Soul Soothing Podcast, Christiane Witt is joined by Helen Ingersoll, Founder of EquiClarity, to discuss how women entrepreneurs can find clarity and steadiness by reconnecting with their inner landscape.
