You Can Do Anything But Not Everything -...

Jocelin Lillienau
About this episode

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, I share a personal journey of focus, intention, and what it really means to make progress.

With my wedding and the competitive season for my eventing horse Echo in full swing, I made a bold decision: to intentionally let go of doing it all, and instead focus on doing fewer things really well.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why trying to “do it all” might be the real reason you’re stuck
  • How to apply the 80/20 rule to your riding and your life
  • The mindset shift from guilt to trust in your decisions
  • How to prioritize your riding goals without burning out
  • Practical steps to reframe success and avoid the hustle trap

I also share candid thoughts about putting my showjumper Queenie on the back burner and what it’s taught me about growth, guilt, and grace.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to juggle horses, work, and life, this episode is your reminder that less can truly be more.
