#196: Rescued Hearts and The Healing Power of Love | Dana Croschere & Krisanna Sexton
The InPowered LifeShow Notes
What if healing isn't about moving on—but learning to carry love, loss, and compassion together?
In this heartfelt episode, Rudi Riekstins sits down with award-winning filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton, the creators of Rescued Hearts, to explore the extraordinary connection between horses, the human heart, and emotional healing. Together, they discuss authenticity, nervous system regulation, grief, and why our greatest transformation begins when we feel safe enough to be fully ourselves.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
➡️ How Rescued Hearts was inspired by a life-changing encounter between a child with autism and a horse
➡️ Why horses mirror authenticity rather than perfection
➡️ A simple heart coherence practice to calm your nervous system
➡️ How grief, gratitude, and healing can coexist
➡️ Why self-compassion is the foundation of lasting healing
➡️ The power of following your intuition, even when it doesn't make logical sense
➡️ How embracing your truth creates deeper connection with yourself and others
If you're navigating grief, anxiety, or simply longing for more peace and authenticity, this conversation will remind you that healing begins in the heart—and that love remains one of our greatest teachers.
