Sometimes the most profound teachers are the ones who never speak a word. Horses have a way of showing us what we most need to see in ourselves, if only we’re willing to listen.
In this episode, I welcome back the deeply gifted Kim McElroy, a visionary artist, author, and intuitive who has inspired me for years through her devotion to the soul of the horse. Kim has a unique ability to listen beyond words, to tune into the messages animals carry, and to translate their wisdom through her art and storytelling.
We revisit her connection with her beloved mare, Dharma, a post-traumatic ex-racehorse whose journey opened Kim's heart and path as an animal communicator. Kim shares the extraordinary moment she discovered Dharma’s reflection in her own eye, and how that image eventually became a key part of a bestselling oracle deck.
We explore powerful questions like whether horses choose their roles with us, and how we can better honor their spiritual presence. Kim also tells the story of receiving a vision of the Council of Horses, a sacred gathering that inspired her newest work and Oracle deck.
Whether you have horses in your life or simply feel called by their presence, this conversation will remind you of the magic that lives in deep connection and quiet listening.
