Animals have an extraordinary ability to comfort, protect, and heal. For Jackie Ducci, that healing began with horses. 

As a child struggling with social anxiety and feeling invisible in a world that praised extroversion, she found acceptance not in people, but in the quiet, steady presence of animals.

In this episode, our guest, Jackie Ducci, shares a deeply personal story about how her horses helped her rediscover her worth, transform her mental health, and reshape the narrative she once believed about herself. 

This isn’t just about animals, it’s about connection, resilience, and the unexpected places we find our strength.
