Episode Synopsis

In this new series of short episodes - we hear from Edye Godden, OT, CTRI & HETRA’s CEO, for a candid conversation about language, ethics, and professionalism in EAS.  Too often, well-intended phrases or flashy-looking credentials can blur lines, misrepresent our field, and ultimately undermine the work we’re all here to do. This episode digs into some big topics, including:  Language matters—it defines what we do and adds credibility to our industry. Horses are partners, not “tools” or something we “use.” Being skeptical of new social media and AI “certifications” or “advanced trainings”. Stay in your lane & stay out of trouble Clear terminology protects you, your program, and the entire EAS industry.Get the terminology paper Edye was referencing on our Patreon page! patreon.com/notjustaponyrideRegister now for the NEW MINI COURSE Launching December 1st:  https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/BalancingTheScalesMiniCourse
