Summary

Ep. # 152 On today’s Pursuit of Wellness, we’re joined by Michelle Serna, aka "Broke Ass Horse Girl" on TikTok. Michelle takes us through her journey, from growing up in a horse-loving family to becoming a go-to resource for all things horse care and riding. She opens up about the chaos of life with horses, dogs, and a massive trailer, while staying true to her no-filter approach to content creation. In this episode, we dive into everything from horse care and training to navigating grief and embracing life unapologetically. Whether you're passionate about horses, CrossFit, or just looking for real talk, Michelle's story is packed with wisdom and authenticity you won't want to miss. Leave Me a Message - click here!
