Harnessing Natural Leadership: Beth Anstandig's Journey on Beyond Recovery™
The animals help us identify a feeling in ourselves as mammals of when something is out of balance and we bypass that mammalian sensory system with our thinking and our relating and our talking, and it's so. It's a very numbed out and muted and the animals are able to pick up on within us, where we're holding pressure and tension and where our nervous system is off, so that when we're interacting with them, they help us find those places where we're out of alignment which usually we're just doing things with horses.
What if the key to a balanced life lies in connecting with our natural instincts? In this eye-opening episode of 'Beyond Recovery™', host Matt Gardiner sits down with licensed psychotherapist and author Beth Anstandig. With over 25 years of experience, Beth has dedicated her life to helping people discover their Natural Leadership through her program, The Circle Up Experience.
Drawing from her work with CEOs, managers, and teams, Beth offers a fresh perspective on leadership that emphasizes genuine connection and emotional alignment. Beth's story is not just about her professional achievements. She opens up about her personal battles with shame and addiction, shedding light on how EMDR trauma therapy played a crucial role in her recovery.
Her journey underscores the importance of self-care and emotional awareness, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety or supporting someone who is. One of the most intriguing aspects of Beth's approach is her use of animal interactions to help people understand their emotional states. Living on a ranch in California, she has found that animals can be powerful mirrors for our own feelings, helping us identify when we're out of sync with our true selves.

Whether you're struggling with addiction, seeking personal growth, or simply curious about a different approach to leadership, Beth Anstandig's insights are both inspiring and practical.
