When the Horse Dies, Get Off and Stop Dragging It Around!
For generations, we’ve been taught to keep going—to follow the rules, to be responsible, to stay the course… even when what we’re doing is clearly no longer working. We call it loyalty. We call it duty. But more often than not, it’s just fear wrapped in tradition.
This book is your wake-up call.
When the Horse Dies invites you to stop pretending. To stop dragging the carcass of what once worked—relationships, roles, careers, belief systems—into the future, hoping it might come back to life. It won’t. And it’s not supposed to.
Louise LeBrun delivers an unfiltered exploration of how we've been conditioned to ignore our inner knowing in favor of cultural expectations. With humor, edge, and deep compassion, she exposes how “doing the right thing” often becomes the very thing that keeps us small, stuck, and disconnected from ourselves.
Through bold insights and unapologetic truths, you’ll explore:
How to recognize when something in your life is no longer alive—and why letting go is not failure, but freedom.
The hidden costs of compliance and perfectionism.
The ways we numb ourselves with busyness, roles, and other people’s needs.
The possibility of living fully awake—when you stop dragging the past into your future.
Whether you're stuck in a job you hate, a relationship you’ve outgrown, or a version of yourself you no longer recognize, this book will challenge you to ask the deeper questions. And more importantly—it will invite you to answer them honestly.
“Far too many of us are riding dead horses… Better to know the fear of the unknown than to continue to fear what we already know. At least, the unknown carries the potential for more.” — Louise LeBrun
Let this be the moment you stop dragging the dead weight… and start reclaiming your life.
