36. IVF, Identity Shifts & Life After Pro Grooming: Sarah Farrell
This week, I’m joined by Sarah Farrell (@annietheoneeyedhunter) for a conversation about identity shifts, infertility, horses, and finding your footing in a completely new season of life.
Sarah shares her journey from professional groom to amateur rider, and how that transition unexpectedly opened the door to something new. We talk candidly about her path to motherhood through six rounds of IUI and IVF, the emotional realities of trying to conceive, and the life that follows.
We also dive into her new venture, Groom School, resources designed to help amateur riders feel more confident caring for and managing their own horses.
This episode is honest, thoughtful, funny, and incredibly relatable for anyone who’s ever had to rebuild their identity inside or outside the barn.

34. When A Rancher Finds Polo: Lee Evans Lee
In this episode, Lucy talks with Lee Evans Lee, founder of Mrs Momma Bear, about what it really looks like to have the courage to make changes in your life, both big and small.
Lee shares her perspective on the quiet strength that motherhood builds, and why moms are often more powerful than they give themselves credit for. From navigating identity shifts to trusting your instincts to appreciating each phase of parenting, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out to take the next step forward.
Lucy and Lee also dive into the idea that sometimes the simplest things can bring us back to ourselves, and why “touching grass” might be more than just a saying when life feels overwhelming.
This episode is for the mom who knows she’s capable of more, even if she’s still figuring out what that looks like.
