The foundation to Live Swell is Hearts and Horses. This will provide a foundation for your personal and professional lives. Your success can be measured by the relationship you have with yourself and others. You will learn about yourself through understanding the horse and this will allow all other facets of your life to elevate.
The only thing holding you back from your best life = YOU!
By design, we each are wired with weakness and programmed to limit ourselves. You aren't alone!
Ben and Lacy, between the two of them, have experienced/ing most of those behaviors listed below under "Current Path."
Those behaviors led to divorces in their first marriages, failed businesses, and general discontent. What they have learned the past serval years is life changing for you as an individual, as companions, as a business owner, as an employee, as a team member, as a parent, as a family member and as a member of society.
Their passion is to help you find peace the way that they have, live your dream and create a life you love. This doesn't mean life is perfect, but you will now be equipped with tools to navigate the behaviors above, find peace more quickly and live your purpose.

The first principle of leadership in the Army is "Know Thyself." You are the leader of your life! The very most important thing you can do is know yourself and this will set you up for success in all other facets of your life.
We have a step by step signature system of self-discovery to help you know yourself within the Hearts & Horses curriculum.
We dive into how the horses are and how they mirror us. This is an eye opening experience that will change the way you see yourself and others.
Fundamentally we are all designed to avoid change. As you watch the horse, in real time, go through stages of change it unlocks deep faulty roots that are holding you back from becoming your best self.
Rooted in research, science and the majesty of the horse, you will learn about yourself in a way that every person should at a young age. It would save each person so much heartache and missed opportunities.
The common denominator in all facets of your life is YOU!
As you are equipped with an understanding of you and the Hearts & Horses tools, the FREEDOM Path will become so enjoyable and you will enhance all facets of your life!
"The truth will set you free" is foundational to creating a LIFE you LOVE!

You will have tools to help you master the art of you! Foundational to creating a LIFE you LOVE!

"You are a heart doctor, you are healing hearts! You are truly a gift to this world Lacy. As horrible as life can be...the wonderfulness of life is equally the opposite. To bring hope and a path to healing is truly a valuable "purpose" for our world right now. Thank you for what you and Ben are doing."

"The Hearts & Horses mastermind had great reminders on what I learned back in May at Hearts & Horses Retreat at the Swell Retreat. Things have definitely changed in my life since then, and for Jen (daughter) too. All for the better. So THANK YOU for everything you offer. It is life changing and positive!"

"My favorite lesson was about relationship goals for children and romantic partnership that allows you both to be your best self."

"Great content to learn from." Hearts & Horses Course

"Lacy's journey through life is a testament to this program. She shouldn't be as successful as she is given the foundation of her childhood. She is a statistical anomaly, a leader from hurt to hope in bringing dreams to reality. She helps me be a better version of myself."

"I spent the weekend with my daughter at Hearts & Horses Retreat. We learned about trauma, how it's stored in the body, and how it manifests in our behavior....I loved it! What a magical weekend."
Note to Lacy: "I'm so inspired by your vision and faith to follow your values. It was beautiful to be a part of your energy. Life changing. Keep it up!"

"Horses are great examples we can learn from." Doug

"Ben and Lacy are wonderful and lead by example. Their Hearts & Horses retreat restored me, polished me, and left me feeling shiny."

"This horse experience truly transformed my life. It not only saved my marriage, but it also elevated my business when I felt stuck and was holding back its growth. Through this journey, I found confidence in my purpose, which empowered me to face my fears. I am now driven to share Hearts & Horses with the world, helping others achieve the health, wealth and happiness they seek. My story, along with the valuable lessons I learned from the horses and research backing them, fuels our commitment to spread this message far and wide. I want everyone to have the chance to realize their dreams of a fulfilling life."
