Why listen to me?

​

I'm Line. For two decades, I've run a coaching program for troubled youth on our farm, using equine-guided therapy to help kids in crisis rebuild from the ground up. Horses don't lie, and they don't let you bullshit your way through. They taught me how to see what's actually running the show - the patterns, the programming, the scripts people don't even know they're following.

 

I spent those same 20 years as a foster mother, raising kids who needed someone to help them unlearn survival patterns and figure out who they actually were underneath the trauma.

 

At 55, I found myself in my own "now what?" phase. Three adult kids moved out. The caregiving years were over. And I had to face the fact that I'd spent decades building a life I never consciously chose.

 

So I did the work. The hard, messy excavation work of figuring out what was actually mine versus what was programming. Now I help other Gen X women do the same.

 

I live on a farm outside Tønsberg, Norway, with my partner, horses, dogs and alpacas and the kind of quiet that forces you to listen.

I write books that don't bullshit you. And I believe midlife isn't the end - it's where your real life finally begins.
