Sometimes, without even realising it, all you need is a hug and a catch-up with one of your best friends and mentors, Becks Nairn / Becks Nairn❤️
Becks happened to be in Melbourne for the weekend, and seeing her familiar face instantly brought me to tears.
We had the most wonderful evening filled with endless chatter, laughter, and the kind of conversation that only comes from years of knowing someone so well.
Becks taught me how to saddle break and rehome Standardbreds many years ago and has shaped my career in more ways than she will ever know. So much of what I do today is built on the knowledge, guidance, and opportunities she gave me.
It was a little confronting seeing someone who knows me so well. Even though I’ve lived in Australia for over two years now, I don’t have many/ any close friends here. It was incredibly refreshing to be completely honest, vulnerable, and raw with someone who truly understands me.
Thank you for a much-needed reminder that I don’t always have to carry everything on my own.
Travel home safely, beautiful lady. Until next time ❤️
