Fix Yourself: Thank You for Flying Air Jack
In the past, I would sidestep my own desires, sacrificing my happiness to please and support others. But my horse taught me the importance of self-care and prioritizing my own needs, which not only empowered me but also allowed me to cultivate healthier relationships. I gradually gained the confidence to assert myself and speak up for what I truly wanted, and I no longer found myself stuck in toxic dynamics.
If you, like me, have struggled with unhealthy relationships, lack of confidence, and neglecting your own needs, I urge you to consider the transformative impact of a horse. Horses serve as catalysts for self-discovery and personal growth, pushing us to break free from patterns that hold us back. Through my horse, I experienced a profound transformation, and I am now passionate about sharing this incredible journey with others.
Fix Yourself explores the many hardships with family, friends, colleagues, and romantic partners, exposing the raw truth of these experiences. However, it doesn’t stop there. This insightful book goes on to equip readers with practical wisdom and effective strategies to conquer these obstacles. Fix Yourself truly empowers individuals to regain authority over their relationships, cultivating a solid bedrock of love and mutual respect.
The truth is, we all yearn for enduring and fulfilling relationships. But in order to attain such precious connections, we must learn the invaluable art of saying no, establishing boundaries, and advocating for ourselves. Don’t let another moment pass you by. Take the reins and embark on a journey toward true transformation.

Author Jill Lionetti delivers a personal look into the lives of horses and their nuanced behaviors. She offers a depth of understanding about our equine friends that most of us might not know.
“You cannot hide your emotions from a horse,” she writes.
Her commitment to these sentient beings is steadfast and empathetic. While her narratives negotiating that world are adventurous and delightful, we soon discover the horse story is a bucolic introduction to some very dark and personal places. The two are metaphors for one another as she deftly braids these two realities tighter until the poignancy overcomes us, and we might fantasize about magically jumping into the book to help. But we can’t. Jill knows she must fix herself. And she shows us how. And we are taken along for the precarious ride, bumps and all.
Her story is a gift—a fair warning to whomever might need to hear the alarm. Her open book, self-effacing humility, and humanity, is a worthwhile offering to both women and men. Jill’s voice is determined, reflective, and unapologetic, save for those mistreating her. While many of the passages may induce anxiety, she inserts her signature comic relief at all the appropriate times, which reinforces our desire to cheer her on in this often seemingly hopeless but fearless journey.
As we navigate this tale of bravery, we might find we have been incorrectly saying—even if only in our minds—the title, “Fix Yourself.” When we look at the cover and trot through the setup, we pronounce it "FIX yourself.” But after enduring the darkness that Jill has—watching her self-sabotage for the sake of undeserving others, we realize the name of the book is more aptly pronounced: Fix Your Self. Emphasis on “self.” We might even prefer to rename it “Trust Yourself.”
Jill is to be trusted. She is introspective, authentic, revelatory, and philosophical. She is selfless in finding the plusses—as difficult to mine as they are. Ultimately, after years of training— both Jack and herself—she has created the necessary boundaries in the pastures of experience. Or has she?

Great book!
Jill is an inspiration, in that she dealt with so much, and still really managed to live her life, and figure out what so many people can't, and has kept sane throughout much that others wouldn't have coped with. And is thriving!
Good job Jill!!❤❤
