with Cait Lynch: Horses & Humans

My Lyme Story 40: From the Top of the Barn, Thank You 03.10.2026 10:04 ↓

I called this My Lyme Story because that’s how it started, and because people still write me from the middle of it. I’m not taking that away. What I’ve actually been writing and sharing since last November is a life: horses, a farm in Ontario, a marriage, a daughter, a business full of women, a dog at my feet, a body that doesn’t quit on schedule. Lyme is in all of it. It isn’t the whole map. The...

My Lyme Story 39: First Night 27.09.2026 15:21 ↓

I’ve heard it said that how you begin is how you continue.

My Lyme Story 38: Rain or Shine 20.09.2026 12:12 ↓

I’m a believer that how you do one thing is how you do everything. I thought about this on the drive home to the farm from that Pilates class in Campbellford. I had twelve minutes to run the night in my head: eight women and me.

My Lyme Story 37: Cait's 8 10.09.2026 7:00 ↓

Extroverts and introverts. Some fast and some steady. All thoughtful.

My Lyme Story 36: Ready? 06.09.2026 2:45 ↓

Women. I wasn’t raised to trust them, and yet I built a business full of them.

My Lyme Story 35: Right There 30.08.2026 17:44 ↓

“What else you got?” Sandra had asked after class. I didn’t have it. Not yet.

My Lyme Story 34: Yet 23.08.2026 7:11 ↓

Time for a breath. This part’s shorter and a little lighter. Nine months of writing and just past 40,000 words…

My Lyme Story 32: To the Dogs 09.08.2026 24:08 ↓

Dogs and horses have been my constants.

My Lyme Story 31: It Was Epic... 03.08.2026 23:46 ↓

One girl. One horse. One long, complicated story of love, loss, and learning.

My Lyme Story Part 30: Horses and Bodies Don't Lie 27.07.2026 7:18 ↓

They say you can really only have three of these five things—Work, Sleep, Family, Fitness, Friends. I’ve always used a different list: Health, Career, Family, Friends, and the horses and dogs that kept me sane. Pick three. I never quite managed more than that, no matter how loudly the “have-it-all” generation told me I should.

My Lyme Story Part 29: Pulls and Aches 28.06.2026 9:26 ↓

Sometimes the path forward starts with the quietest pulls and the strangest aches.

My Lyme Story Part 28: Combinations 15.06.2026 14:16 ↓

Ticks be damned…

My Lyme Story Part 27: The Tea 11.06.2026 2:33 ↓

Sometimes the words you need arrive at your doorstep unexpectedly.

My Lyme Story Part 26: Be Nice 07.06.2026 6:04 ↓

The early days of motherhood with Lila. I thought I had it all under control… until I didn’t. The adrenaline, the help from friends and family, the first big lesson in choosing ‘nice’ over ‘honest,’ and the moment depression showed up again—right on schedule.

My Lyme Story Part 25: Lila V. 31.05.2026 7:34 ↓

No running in the heat… even when the baby decides it’s time.

My Lyme Story Part 24: May 17, 2003 19.05.2026 16:40 ↓

On the day Lila was born, I did a short Pilates routine in the basement, threw on my maternity jeans, and headed out with GoGo and Walter to do morning chores for the horses...

My Lyme Story Part 23: Bellies 10.05.2026 6:23 ↓

I first saw food logs as a child. 

My Lyme Story Part 22: Invisible Hope 08.05.2026 5:38 ↓

We pulled into the driveway of the white house with green shutters and I didn’t even want to get out of the car...

My Lyme Story Part 21: Enter Pilates 06.05.2026 5:27 ↓

Spring/summer 2002—the chapter where Pilates snuck in and quietly changed everything…

My Lyme Story Part 20: Ride on... 22.04.2026 5:32 ↓

The ‘I’m fine, just let me ride’ years.

My Lyme Story Part 19: Keep Rolling 13.04.2026 3:50 ↓

I just kept rolling...

Pssst! Quick update... 07.04.2026 4:52 ↓

An update about this season and where it is going...

My Lyme Story Part 16: The Sphinx on the 4th Floor 07.04.2026 6:30 ↓

It’s been a little while since Part 15 — thank you for your patience while I took a breath and handled a few things. Here’s Part 16: a quick glimpse of the girl I was before Lyme tried to rewrite everything, and the moment I started stepping back into the light with the people who matter most.

My Lyme Story Part 18: Low Lights & High Lights 07.04.2026 10:21 ↓

When I found out I was pregnant, I didn’t drink at all. Not one drop, both times…
