Teatime with Elsa - Episode 256

Chatting About: The Non-performative Life…

Originally aired on: July 28th, 2026 

In this episode we talk about the idea of being performative, as a horse or a human. To be performative is to do things for others that you might not naturally choose for yourself. We ask our horses to be performative all the time, and we find socially as humans we often need to as well. When there is a time or a place when we can be non-performative for a while, it is a great luxury. Like everything, there is probably some balance between the two states that is healthy to strive for.
