The Art of Beginning Again: Lessons in Healing, Growth, and Horses with Jade Chen

Margo is joined once again by Jade Chen, a healer, guide, and space-holder whose work centers on helping people navigate transformation, uncertainty, and growth. With over a decade of experience in somatic and lineage-based healing practices, Jade helps others reconnect to their inner voice and creative resilience. Living on Hawai‘i Island, her work is deeply inspired by the rhythms of nature, the wisdom of ancestry, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.

In this returning conversation, Jade shares the profound changes that have unfolded since her last appearance on the podcast, including her move to the island, her work with a herd of horses at a healing sanctuary, and the unexpected ways life can transform when we learn to trust our intuition.

Margo and Jade discuss:

  • The concept of the “dreams behind the dreams” and how unexpected opportunities emerge when we follow our intuition
  • Why beginning again often requires letting go of identities, comforts, and plans that no longer fit
  • The role of courage in both life-changing decisions and everyday choices
  • Simple practices for reconnecting with your inner voice through breath, mindfulness, and intention
  • What living on Hawai‘i Island has taught Jade about change, surrender, and transformation
  • How horses became an unexpected part of her healing work and what they teach about presence, empathy, and connection
  • Why discomfort is often a necessary part of growth and creating space for what’s next
  • How nature, water, and stillness can help us reconnect with our own wisdom
