Podcast with Dina Schultz

Get to know Dina:

I am a SoCal native and grew up with the infinite expanse of ocean, the thrill of dolphins hugging the coastline, while finding my grounding in the very-old-soul oaks of my community. From once I could remember, I have known a deep primitive connection with animals, most especially horses, and even with humans, although that has been a far-more bumpy ride that I am still learning to navigate, healthfully trust. 

My path, in whatever twisty-turns traveled, there was a horse. I never had lessons or friends with horses or any sort of barn-life. I hung out with my horse all the possible hours of the day and when I did not have my own horse, I showed up wherever they were, freely offering myself in whatever bartering-way just to be in their presence. Today, in terms of equines, I live with my two OTTB geldings. One is an incredibly empathic sensitive younger soul and reminds me of myself before I understood and accepted my empathic-intuitiveness. My horse before these two, lived to 34 and wow - he was an old old wise solid soul, older than the oaks. Goodness he kept me alive the 25 years we shared lives. During that time, I was in college. Yes, for 25-plus years! I love learning. I am one of those who started college at 17, right out of High School and just kept going. I started out as a professional photographer while making my way through a BA, BSN, MSN, and working towards my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology with a double major in PreMed studies and I now feel that I am exactly where I need to be in medicine, as a Nurse Practitioner working in Neurosurgery and if you know about medicine, you know there is endless learning. I am my happiest-thriving-glowing self when I am learning.

After sharing the aforementioned layers to my now-journey, the most magnificent of untouchable and indescribable "otherness" is that of having my son. He is 16 and an intuit, an empath, like me. He doesn't know it yet, but he will, and I am so excited for his discovery. 

Honoring the most important roots of my soul... the little girl that survived incredible odds long enough to allow me to come through to the present.
