For a long time, I followed the path we’re all told will make us happy.

I went to college. Got the job. Got married. Checked all the boxes.

But deep down, I kept feeling this quiet pull, like there was something more real I hadn’t touched yet.

Cacao was the first thing that helped me slow down and start listening. It brought me back to my body, my truth, and a deeper connection I’d forgotten. I thought maybe that was my purpose, to share that feeling with others. So I started a cacao brand.

And it did help. But when my marriage ended, something cracked open even deeper. I began hearing the land speak. I learned about the wild mustangs disappearing across the West. And I saw how humans have been disconnected, too — from nature, from presence, from themselves.

So I followed the pull. I rescued two wild horses without knowing what I was doing. I let the land guide me. And slowly, I began weaving a new kind of ecosystem: one where humans and horses remember their wild together.

This isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about remembering how to live in rhythm with what’s real.

It’s starting small here in Southern Utah. But the vision? To make the West (and the human spirit) wild again.

With love,

Sami
