What becomes possible when you release people-pleasing and embody your authentic self?
Midlife isn’t a crisis.
It’s your soul tapping you on the shoulder, whispering,
“Remember me? It’s time to reclaim who you truly are.”
You don’t have to walk this path alone.
I partner with my wise and intuitive herd of horses to create a healing space where you can reconnect with your inner truth and step into your whole, worthy, authentic self.
Whether you’re on the land with us in beautiful Santa Fe or receiving their wisdom through my digital offerings, the horses bring a kind of presence that goes beyond words.
They see you. They feel you. They reflect the parts of you that have been silenced or buried, so you can reclaim your voice, your worth, and your power.
Welcome to Blissful Heart Coaching
Hi, I’m Lyn Carpenter, and I guide midlife women who feel lost, stuck, or disconnected back home to themselves, with the help of my wise and intuitive herd of horses.
Midlife isn’t a crisis.
It’s your soul tapping you on the shoulder, whispering, “Remember me? It’s time to reclaim who you truly are.”
Have you felt an ache in your heart or a restless tug from your soul, calling you back to your true self?
You’ve checked all the boxes, met others’ expectations, played the “good girl” game…and somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.
As a child, you were filled with wonder, and your fire burned brightly. But over time, life happened and you absorbed the beliefs of your parents, your community, and the world around you.
You chased the dreams of your youth, and with them came responsibilities. One by one, they dimmed your spark. Before you knew it, you were going through the motions, reacting to life, rather than truly living it.
Begin Your Journey Back to You
You don’t have to walk this path alone. I’ve been where you are and I’ve guided many others out of the fog of people-pleasing, over-giving, and self-abandonment.
This work is not about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you’ve always been.
And when you do that, everything changes.
Your voice gets louder. Your truth feels clearer. And your worth is no longer tied to how much you do for others.
You Were Created for a Purpose
You’re not here to be everything for everyone else while losing yourself in the process. You’re here to live fully and freely as the woman you were born to be.
Your soul is ready for more YOU. More truth, more expression, more aliveness. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I partner with my intuitive herd of horses to help women like you remember who they really are, beyond the roles, the pressure, and the people-pleasing patterns.
Where Did You Lose Yourself?
Somewhere along the way, joy turned into responsibility, and wonder faded into worry. That inner light, the part of you that once felt so alive, got buried under the weight of responsibilities, expectations, and the conditioning that taught you to put everyone else first.
But the spark is still there…quietly waiting. Let’s uncover it together.
Somewhere Along the Way… You Lost You
Where did you lose yourself?
Maybe it was in motherhood, and now that the nest is empty, you’re asking, “Now what?” You feel a shift in your identity, and you’re not sure who you are without the daily demands of being needed.
Maybe you lost yourself in your marriage, pouring your energy into supporting your spouse while putting your own dreams on hold.
Or perhaps you’ve recently gone through a profound loss. It might have been a divorce, the death of someone you love, the end of a friendship, or even a job you thought defined you. Any kind of loss can shake your sense of who you are.
Maybe you lost yourself in your career, chasing success and security, only to realize that it no longer feels meaningful or true to who you are.
Maybe you’re moving through perimenopause or menopause, and it feels like you’re not just losing estrogen, periods, and tampons, but also your memory, your libido, and your sleep.
Or maybe you’re caught in the “sandwich generation,” trying to care for your children and your aging parents, all while working full time and barely catching your breath.
You have your own story.
But no matter how it’s unfolded, the pattern is familiar: You became who you thought you should be… and somewhere along the way, you drifted away from who you truly are.
Testimonials
Lyn is one of the most authentic and compassionate individuals you will ever have the pleasure of knowing! Her deep commitment to her own spiritual journey and her vulnerability to share her lessons learned has helped me find the courage to walk my path bravely with self-love and commitment to my soul’s highest good. I met Lyn when she and her husband started and facilitated a Committed Couples group. In the over 12 years I have known her, Lyn has held me in Love and Light and has kept sacred space for me as I went through many challenges in my career, my relationship, and my own personal demons of self-doubt and self-sabotage. She was always there to remind me of my own self-worth and inner wisdom. I know she will be a blessing to you as she has been to me!

When my mother passed away I felt life threw a brick at my head knocking me flat to the ground. Despite her being elderly and very ill off and on for years, the fact that I’m a 59-year-old woman…a mother myself with teens and a husband who needs me…this is how I felt after my dear mother passed away a year ago. Her passing not only left me to sort out my feelings of grief but to deal with a messy contested estate of which I was named executrix.
It is impossible to adequately convey how much Lyn helped me to stand tall again. To breathe. To believe in good things to come. To find joy and peace again. To believe in myself. To reconnect with Spirit. Lyn’s ability to quickly grasp and to help me break down into manageable pieces what felt like a giant emotional mountain to climb is a rare gift.
Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, Lyn will meet you right where you are with the utmost of validation, compassion, and respect. You will be on your way to the person you were put on this Earth to be.

Lyn is a breath of fresh air, open, loving, attentive, and kind. Her compassionate nature is lovely. I felt so supported and listened to during our coaching.

Lyn is a Master Equine Coach. Her coaching partners are her herd of majestic horses! Her setting is breathtaking. Most importantly, the impact that the interaction we had with the horses is life-changing. The intimacy they create through their intuitive ability to read, feel and respond to our energies allowed us to self-discover and transform. It was such a beautiful experience that we continue to benefit from.
Steph L. | Arizona
Lyn is masterful at what she does! I’ve taken several retreat groups out to do work with her and her horses and each time has been profoundly transformational. She brings a light playfulness to what can be some very serious and deep inner work. Her tender heart and intuitive approach allow the participants to relax into the process and get amazing results whether they’re working with her directly or simply observing and getting the “borrowed benefits” as she calls it. I highly recommend the experience as a focus of or add on to any retreat!

Lyn is an amazing coach. I entered the round pen with Bodie and Fancy with no expectations. I knew equine therapy was a “thing”, but had no idea why or how horses could help me ease some of the fears that I have struggled with most of my life.
I knew which fears I wanted to work on and Lyn began asking me questions to get to the root of them. At one point, she asked me to rephrase these fears and state my truth with courage and confidence. I took a deep breath and gave it everything I had. I looked my fears in the eyes, garnered every bit of self-confidence within me, and spoke from my core. Suddenly, I was bookended by two majestic horses. Fancy stood silently at my left shoulder and Bodie at my right. There it was – the undeniable confirmation from these pure and gifted creatures that I was truly present and speaking my truth.
There was a shift in me that day. And although the usual “triggers” still occur in my life and always will, my reaction to them now comes from a place of courage and empowerment rather than fear. Instead of playing the mind games of “what if” and questioning myself in the face of my underlying fears, I now feel fully confident in my truth and have the memory of Fancy and Bodie’s strength to back me up.
