Hormonal Rage, Cancellation Policies, and the Perks of Living Apart Together - Adulting with Horses

On this episode of the Adulting with Horses podcast, Heather and Natalie talk about Hormonal Rage, Cancellation Policies, and the Perks of Living Apart Together

Natalie Keller Reinert and Heather Wallace cover everything from respecting time and cancellation fees to the very practical realities of running a life, a business, and a family at full speed. What starts as a rant about a client trying to game a schedule turns into a bigger conversation about boundaries, burnout, hormonal chaos, travel, and what kind of partner actually fits into a busy life.

Key topics

• Natalie and Heather break down why freelancers and independent contractors need cancellation fees, card-on-file policies, and clear onboarding rules
• The conversation widens into a broader rant about people not respecting other people’s time, especially when they know better
• Heather talks about being exhausted, burned out, and close to a breakdown after weeks and months without a real day off
• Natalie and Heather discuss how they both tend to stay busy on purpose because slowing down makes room for thoughts and responsibilities they would rather avoid
• The chat turns playful and candid as they talk about hormones, PMS, spotting, and how much mood can change with timing and food
• Heather explains why she is not interested in dating right now, especially if it would require giving up autonomy, travel, or solo time
• They land on a shared preference for unconventional relationships, including living apart together, separate houses, or arrangements that preserve independence
• Natalie shares that she’s deep into writing a sweet cowboy romance and prefers sensitive men in fiction and real life
• Heather describes the kind of man she finds attractive: protective, emotionally aware, and supportive without being controlling
• The episode ends with lighter banter about travel, cruise planning, vacation anticipation, and Heather’s accidental concert ticket predicament
