 https://elkdogworkwear.com/pages/link...In this expansive story of one woman's desire to transmute her terror in unrelenting fires that claimed 96,000 acres and thousands of homes, Lisa shares with THE SOULFAM PODCAST how she went from a glamorous high-end apparel job to managing her own barnyard of horses, sheep, donkeys, geese, ducks, a goat and her faithful dog Clancy on a 50-acre Colorado ranch in a little over a year. Lisa had experienced waves of grief following the fire. Homeless and employed, Lisa found herself unsure what the world held for her. At one moment, she might be helping a rapper determine which designer bag he wanted. In the next moment, she didn't have a place to sleep. Horses and the equine therapists and rescues she worked with for her emotional healing were her salvation.
Great stocking stuffers!! )  Lisa Mattson is an entrepreneur, brand expert, founder of Elk Dog Ranch (www.elkdogworkwear.com) work and casual wear and a strong proponent for working with horses to heal trauma, emotional wounds, autism, adhd, burnout and more.
