In this inspiring episode, Shalyce sits down with Addie Gonzalez—a ranch manager, soil scientist, and first-time Mustang owner whose wild horse changed everything.

After years of chasing big dreams across breeding barns, NASA internships, and the ranchlands of Montana, Addie finally bought her first personal horse—a wild Mustang mare named Echo. What she didn’t expect was a whirlwind of fear, setbacks, and deep self-reflection. Echo was older than expected, completely feral, and dangerously reactive.

But in just a year and a half, this once-unhandleable mare was racing down a skijor course, earning money and turning heads.

Addie shares how she went from self-doubt to fierce trust, and how Echo mirrored her own internal transformation every step of the way. From sleepless nights to small wins that changed everything, this is the story of what happens when you believe in the impossible.
