Good movement happens when we approach the cattle with a positive attitude, read and really listen to what they’re telling us, and communicate accordingly.  We don’t approach the aware, flighty cattle the same as we do the tame, docile cattle. We adjust ourselves, our energy, and approach, and communicate with each differently. These adjustments help us effectively draw good movement from each, which then draws good movement from the herd. But it starts with us. The same is true for humans. Good movement starts with us. Welcome to Good Movement Draws Good Movement, the podcast where farmers, ranchers, and rural folks can grow relationally through awareness, understanding, and effective communication. Hey, it’s me - T. I’m your host, and I, along with my guests, will be covering topics related to drawing good movement - things like self and social awareness, brain science, positive psychology, extending grace, and so much more.  We’ll share tools that can help you understand why you are the way you are, why others are the way they are, and how you can use that to step out of self-told lies with grace and compassion to draw good movement in conversations, relationships, and life in rural America.  Tune in every Tuesday and make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode! Let’s go draw good movement!

When It Hits You Like a Ton of BricksIn the span of just a few weeks, everything has changed. In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it feels like when “it” hits you like a ton of bricks. While everything looks okay right now, that’s not truly the case. The work continues because life keeps moving.

What I’m really worried about is what will happen when things finally slow down, and everyone’s nervous systems are no longer in survival mode.

Whether you’ve lived through something as visible as a wildfire, or something quieter (but still very heavy), you are NOT meant to go at it alone, friend. There is zero shame in asking for help, and honestly, it might be one of the most important things you can do for yourself + those around you!

In this episode, I cover:

  • How the Ashby Fire started suddenly and moved fast + how close it came to our home
  • My gratitude for the safety of our home, animals, first responders & community
  • How we’re still in survival mode, even though things may “look” okay
  • Why trauma doesn’t always hit in the moment
  • My experience with anxiety and physical symptoms
  • Tools I used to start my healing journey in 2020
  • Why I knew I couldn’t carry everything alone & chose to seek support after losing my dad in 2023
  • Understanding there is zero shame in asking for help because we’re NOT meant to do this alone

Living Through the Largest Fire in Nebraska HistoryIn today’s episode, Tom and I are sharing what it’s like living through the largest fire in Nebraska history. This isn’t a polished or perfectly processed story. It’s still super fresh, and in many ways, we’re still IN it.

What started as concern quickly turned into evacuation and long days of uncertainty. All of that turned into the very REAL possibility of losing not just land, but livelihood, animals, and a way of life that runs deep in this part of the country.

This conversation isn’t about tying things up in a neat bow. We want to give an honest look into an experience that SO many in our state have been living, and also, create space for both gratitude and grief to exist at the same time.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The rapid shift from awareness to evacuation as the fires escalated
  • What those days looked like in real time
  • The reality of protecting animals, land, and livelihood under pressure
  • Experiencing the fire from 2 perspectives
  • The emotional weight of leaving home without knowing what you’ll return to
  • The physical & mental toll of long days on the front lines
  • Why “it will grow back” overlooks the real human impact
  • Holding both gratitude AND grief at the same time
  • The adrenaline response + what happens when it wears off
  • Processing an experience that’s still fresh + the importance of empathy in crisis

“This isn’t the disaster you’re making it out to be.” That’s a real comment I saw online about the fires here in Nebraska. Yes, the same fires that, as of this recording, have burned over 700,000 acres AND came within miles of our home.

I’ve seen people say things like, “the grass will grow back” or “fire promotes regrowth.” While yes, those things can be true, they completely miss the human side of what’s happening.

The truth is, if you haven’t lived something like this, you can’t fully understand it. That’s exactly why we need more empathy. We need to take the time to FEEL with someone, even if we don’t fully understand what they’re going through.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How the recent Nebraska fires have caused real, ongoing devastation
  • Why certain comments are severely lacking empathy
  • Why you cannot fully understand a situation you haven’t lived
  • Practicing more empathy + curiosity, even when you don’t fully understand someone else’s experience
  • Realizing we are ALL human and are doing the best we can

Anger, Shame, and Releasing Emotions with Caroline NelsonIn today’s episode, rancher and business owner Caroline Nelson is here to talk about anger, shame, and releasing emotions. What started as burnout (in motherhood, business, and more) quickly turned into something deeper. Through that awareness came a pivotal shift: recognizing a lack of true worthiness. Not confidence or capability, but deep, internal worthiness. After that, everything began to change!

Caroline and I also talk about the role of anger in healing (and why it’s not something to avoid), how shame can keep us stuck, the physical side of healing, what it actually looks like to start showing up for yourself, and more.

This conversation is honest, layered, and FULL of moments that might make you pause and reflect on your own patterns. If you’ve ever struggled with anger, shame, or releasing emotions (yep, talking to myself here), you don’t want to miss this episode!

In this episode, we cover:

  1. Caroline’s journey from burnout to healing + pushing through motherhood & business demands
  2. Why intellectualizing ≠ actually processing emotions
  3. The difference between confidence and true worthiness
  4. How shame keeps us stuck + why anger can move us forward
  5. What anger work looks like + how it builds self-trust
  6. Recognizing self-betrayal and people-pleasing patterns
  7. How betrayal can be a catalyst for boundaries + self-worth
  8. Setting boundaries in real time (without over-explaining) + why this gets easier
  9. How emotional healing shows up physically in the body
  10. The link between stress, repressed emotions & physical symptoms
  11. Letting go of toxic positivity and allowing both/and emotions
  12. Why healing isn’t linear + how to respond with emotional maturity instead of reactivity
  13. Viewing triggers + setbacks as data, NOT failure
  14. Reducing numbing behaviors by increasing REAL connection

What Is Anxiety and Why It’s Hard to Just “Calm Down”In today’s episode, I’m talking about what anxiety is and why it’s hard to just “calm down.” When anxiety shows up, it’s not just an emotion floating around randomly. It’s actually a survival response rooted in our nervous system, because our bodies are designed to protect us!

What truly helps? SAFETY! When we feel safe, logic comes back online, and we’re able to think more clearly.

If you need more support with anxiety and/or safety, and are feeling called to go deeper in your inner work, you can schedule a free 30-minute connection call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance. Don’t forget to mention “cast pod” when you book to receive 10% off!

In this episode, I cover:

  1. What anxiety actually is + why we can’t simply “positive think” our way out of it
  2. How Inside Out 2 offers a powerful visual example of how anxiety can take over our internal “control panel”
  3. Why anxiety is a survival response rooted in the nervous system
  4. Why phrases like “calm down” don’t help when someone is experiencing anxiety
  5. How agriculture and rural life naturally bring uncertainty + can amplify anxiety
  6. Why creating safety is the key to calming anxiety + helping logic come back online
  7. Practical ways to signal safety to your nervous system
  8. Why anxiety isn’t a flaw or glitch in the system

The First Step to Improved CommunicationIn today’s episode, I’m talking about the first step to improved communication. We often jump straight to “What do I say?” or “How do I say this better?” But we bypass the root of it all: self-awareness.

If we don’t understand how we’re wired, how our nervous system responds, and how our tone or energy is received, no amount of communication tools will truly “fix” it. Ultimately, improved and effective communication starts with US!

If you’re ready to go deeper into the Good Movement Framework with tools and practical support, I’d love to have you join me over on my private podcast, The Draw!

In this episode, I cover:

  1. Why communication “tools” can fail when the foundation is missing
  2. The mistake of focusing on what to say instead of self-awareness
  3. Why self-awareness is understanding your wiring, triggers & nervous system
  4. Why self-awareness ≠ self-centeredness
  5. How social awareness helps you notice body language, tone & energy
  6. Integrating both self + social awareness for grounded, effective communication
  7. Why respect and regulation matter more than total agreement
  8. Understanding that even with awareness, some hard decisions may still follow

What It Looks Like to Truly ApologizeIn today’s episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to truly apologize. If the apology includes a “but,” it’s usually not a repair. It’s more like deflection and self-protection. If admitting mistakes didn’t feel safe when we were young, of course it’s going to feel hard now.

How Talking Kindly to Your Body Can Benefit Your LifeIn today’s episode, I’m talking about how talking kindly to your body can benefit your life. About halfway through this last year, I came across Heal Your Body by Louise Hay. It led me to her book You Can Heal Your Life, and while some of it may sound a little “woo,” something about it landed!

Now, I’m not saying affirmations *magically* fix everything. However, I’ve noticed a difference in MY everyday life since I’ve been using them!'

Of course, nothing is perfect. I still get sick, and I still have hard days. But I’m no longer comfortably numb. Acknowledging anger, sadness, and fear has changed the environment inside my body. It has created space for me to THRIVE, and I’m truly grateful for that!

If you’ve been feeling called to go deeper into your own inner work and healing, I’d love to support you. You can schedule a free 30-minute call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance - make sure to mention “cast pod” so you’ll receive 10% off when you commit to 6 months!

In this episode, I cover:

  1. Reflecting on the 1-year anniversary of my bilateral breast amputation + the emotional growth that has unfolded alongside physical healing

]]>In today’s episode, I’m talking about how talking kindly to your body can benefit your life. About halfway through this last year, I came across Heal Your Body by Louise Hay. It led me to her book You Can Heal Your Life, and while some of it may sound a little “woo,” something about it landed!

Now, I’m not saying affirmations *magically* fix everything. However, I’ve noticed a difference in MY everyday life since I’ve been using them!'

Of course, nothing is perfect. I still get sick, and I still have hard days. But I’m no longer comfortably numb. Acknowledging anger, sadness, and fear has changed the environment inside my body. It has created space for me to THRIVE, and I’m truly grateful for that!

If you’ve been feeling called to go deeper into your own inner work and healing, I’d love to support you. You can schedule a free 30-minute call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance - make sure to mention “cast pod” so you’ll receive 10% off when you commit to 6 months!

In this episode, I cover:

  1. Reflecting on the 1-year anniversary of my bilateral breast amputation + the emotional growth that has unfolded alongside physical healing
  2. My discovery of Louise Hay’s work + the connection between emotions, self-talk & physical health
  3. How speaking kindly to my body shifted my experience with cold sores & sickness

What Happens When We Step Closer Rather than Backing AwayIn today’s episode, I’m talking about what happens when we choose to step closer instead of pulling away. My curiosity recently led me to consume I Take My Coffee Black by Tyler Merritt.

One of his quotes totally stopped me in my tracks when I heard it: “Distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy” (he credits Brian Lawrence). That one sentence captures SO much of what fuels misunderstanding (and what heals it).

It’s a whole lot harder to stay angry, judgmental, or hateful toward someone when you actually get close to them. When we get curious and learn someone’s story, compassion naturally follows.

Proximity doesn’t mean agreement - it means empathy, grace, and humanity!

In this episode, I cover:

  1. How the book I Take My Coffee Black inspired a deeper reflection for me
  2. The powerful idea that “distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy”
  3. How learning someone’s story makes it harder to judge or stay stuck in anger
  4. A personal example of how getting curious & stepping closer changed things for the better
  5. Why proximity doesn’t require agreement, but creates space for empathy & grace

A New Way to Grit Through with Victoria MexcurIn today's episode, I’m talking with licensed mental health therapist Victoria Mexcur about a new way to grit through. Trauma is often treated as a singular, heavy label, but it’s much more nuanced. It’s an experience that impacts the nervous system, creates mental loops, and can disconnect the mind and body in very individual ways.

We dive into breaking stigma, repair, and why mental health is just as foundational as the land and animals we care so deeply for. This conversation is grounding, honest, and incredibly needed; I know it will meet you right where you are!

In this episode, we cover:

  1. Victoria’s path into therapy + why she chose trauma work
  2. What trauma actually is + why it looks different for everyone
  3. A reframe of “gritting through” that works WITH the body (instead of overriding it)
  4. How somatic experiencing & EMDR support nervous system regulation
  5. Key lessons from animals + Peter Levine’s work
  6. Why traditional talk therapy isn’t always the right fit for rural & ag folks
  7. How flexible, accessible therapy better supports rural life during busy seasons
  8. Using grit + a “get-er-done” mindset to reach out for support instead of going it alone
  9. Simple starting tools for nervous system regulation
  10. Why mental health is foundational to sustaining families, operations & long-term well-being

Why Is It So Hard to Admit Mistakes?In today’s episode, I’m talking about why it’s so hard to admit mistakes. I truly believe our willingness (or inability) to admit mistakes has a lot to do with our nervous systems and how they were shaped early on.

If you grew up in a home where mistakes were met with grace, understanding, and direction, chances are it feels safer for you to own them now. But if mistakes were met with anger, shame, or punishment, your nervous system learned that it wasn’t safe to admit wrongdoing.

This shows up everywhere these days - especially online. Mistakes are rarely met with curiosity or compassion anymore, but with harsh judgment and public shaming.

If we genuinely want people to take responsibility (as well as ourselves), we HAVE to create safer spaces to be able to do so!

In this episode, I cover:

  1. How our upbringing & early nervous system wiring shape our ability to admit mistakes
  2. The role of modeling and imitation when we witness others deflect blame or avoid accountability
  3. Why today’s online culture makes admitting mistakes feel increasingly unsafe
  4. How to get curious when admitting a mistake feels HARD
  5. Ways to engage with someone who struggles to admit mistakes
  6. How Tom & I are modeling accountability + repair to help our kids w/admitting mistakes

What Might Be Under the Perfectionism, Shame, and Self-Loathing with Amber TrejoIn today's episode, I’m talking to Amber Trejo, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in complex trauma and attachment, about what might be under the perfectionism, shame, and self-loathing. Amber explains how complex trauma often forms when there was never a true baseline of safety growing up, how, while it can be painful to realize we might hurt our kids, the repair matters FAR more than perfection, and so much more.

Healing from complex trauma and things like perfectionism, shame, and self-loathing doesn’t start with “being better,” it starts with awareness, curiosity, and support. Whether that’s therapy, learning, or simply beginning to ask yourself gentler questions, please know you are not broken, and you are NOT alone!

In this episode, we cover:

  1. Amber’s journey into understanding & working with complex trauma
  2. What complex trauma (C-PTSD) is + how growing up without a baseline of safety impacts the nervous system
  3. The key difference between PTSD and complex trauma
  4. How emotional neglect often goes unrecognized, even in childhoods that felt “good”
  5. Why shame is central to complex trauma + how it often shows up
  6. How complex trauma affects relationships, conflict & nervous system capacity
  7. Why repair matters more than perfection in parenting
  8. How to support yourself + loved ones when navigating complex trauma

When the Thing Isn't the ThingIn today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when the thing isn’t the thing. In rural and ag spaces, especially, we’re really good at shoving feelings down and pushing through. What’s underneath that “thing” is usually a whole pile of unacknowledged stuff (stress, exhaustion, grief, burnout, and more).

Recognizing this gives us so much freedom. It helps us stop shaming ourselves for our reactions, stop personalizing other people’s emotions, and create space to get curious about what’s really going on.

In this episode, I cover:

  1. How the “thing” that triggers us is often just the surface-level moment
  2. A real-life ranch example of displaced frustration between Tom and me
  3. What’s usually underneath the “thing”
  4. How recognizing when the thing isn’t the thing helps us and others
  5. Why this awareness creates space for curiosity, boundaries & more grounded communication
  6. How remembering that the thing isn’t the thing allows us to extend grace & compassion

In today's episode, we're talking about getting out of your head and into the run. Lydia shares how our emotions, beliefs, and nervous system state directly affect our horses (whether we’re aware of it or not). Building a strong connection requires self-awareness, intentionality, and learning how to regulate yourself FIRST.

We also talk honestly about the cultural messages many of us grew up with in ag and rural communities, how suppressing emotions actually impacts our bodies, overthinking, and more. If you’re stuck in fear, frustration, or setback, stop focusing only on what’s wrong. Look for the opportunity, because ultimately, whatever you focus on will grow!

In this episode, we cover:

  1. Lydia’s rodeo journey + how this led her into performance coaching & working with the mental side of athletics
  2. How the human athlete’s mindset directly impacts the equine athlete
  3. Why self-awareness is key to building trust and connection with a horse
  4. How suppressing emotions often leads to overwhelm and breakdown later
  5. Why getting into the run requires stepping out of overthinking & trusting muscle memory
  6. Why too much information can pull athletes out of their bodies and into their heads
  7. The power in finding opportunity & growth within your challenges

The Beliefs That Keep Us from Asking for HelpIn today's episode, I'm talking about the beliefs that keep us from asking for help. Asking for and receiving help is something I’ve been working on in my own life for quite some time now. It’s something that many of us struggle with (especially in agriculture).

The truth, though? Not asking for help keeps us isolated, and honestly, that’s not benefiting anyone. As I continue working on this in my own life, I’ve realized that asking for and receiving help doesn’t mean I’m weak or “less than.” I’m letting connection happen, and that’s a beautiful thing!

I want to encourage you to think about YOUR beliefs that may be keeping you from asking for help. You might be surprised at how good it feels when someone helps you (and how much they love it, too)!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why asking for & receiving help has been such a challenge for me + many others in rural spaces
  • A recent example from my own life of almost turning down help + what it revealed
  • Results from my recent Instagram poll about how likely we are to ask for help
  • 5 core beliefs that hold many of us back from asking for help
  • How generational conditioning & learned survival patterns shape the ways we avoid or decline help
  • The difference between healthy independence & isolating ourselves
  • A powerful reframe I’m now leaning into when asking for help
  • 3 reflection prompts for you to explore

The Growing Pains of Boundaries, Help, and Working Together with TomIn today's episode, we're talking about the growing pains of boundaries, help, and working together. While we complement each other in day-to-day work (and our relationship overall), we definitely still butt heads. 

We've had arguments that feel funny now (like a certain Jack Russell terrier that almost ruined our relationship)! Working cattle has taught us about reading energy, adjusting expectations, and giving each other space when necessary.

Maybe you have some growing pains with boundaries, asking for help, or something else in your life. Either way, you're so not alone, and we hope this lighthearted Q&A helps you feel a little more seen!

In this episode, we cover:

  • How Tom and I complement each other in day-to-day ranch work + spots where we still butt heads
  • The growing pains of boundaries in marriage
  • Our argument from years ago that now feels funny
  • The cattle-working lesson that shows up in our marriage
  • Why both asking for help AND receiving help still feels challenging
  • A meaningful moment of finally accepting help that made a big difference

This Isn’t Normal: Calling Out the Quiet Crisis in Rural Mental HealthIn today's episode, I'm calling out the quiet crisis in rural mental health. So many of us in agriculture have had to numb ourselves just to get through the day. 

But that numbness didn't come out of nowhere. It came from surviving, and it's NOT sustainable. We can't pretend it isn't costing us something!

If you're listening today and you're carrying something heavy, please know that you don't have to wait until it breaks you. Reach out and let someone share the load with you, because you're NOT meant to do this alone!

In this episode, I cover:

  • The alarming & heartbreaking suicide statistics impacting rural America
  • Why “toughness” and numbness aren’t working + what rural communities need MORE of
  • How to start honest conversations that go deeper than surface-level check-ins
  • What we CAN do to support rural mental health + create real, safe spaces for ourselves & others

Danielle and her husband had built a life in northwest Iowa, raising babies and crops and building a farm alongside his parents. Like so many rural families, there was pride, responsibility, and pressure. What Danielle didn't know was that her husband was quietly battling a drinking addiction he kept hidden from nearly everyone, and he eventually took his own life.

Life after loss changes everything, but Danielle is proof that it doesn't have to erase your future. You can keep going while still grieving, and you can choose honesty over silence. You can ask for help, even when it feels foreign. And you CAN build something solid and steady for the future.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Danielle’s path from healthcare to farm wife & now running the farm with her in-laws
  • Her husband’s hidden drinking addiction, shame & circumstances surrounding his death
  • Why asking for help feels impossible when you’re numbing or afraid of being a burden
  • Danielle’s experience with grief and anger, and the reality that closure is often a myth
  • How she and her in-laws strengthened their relationship while keeping the farm going
  • The support system that helped her navigate life after loss
  • Her kids’ resilience and the role therapy played for all of them
  • The financial + operational learning curve she faced stepping into farm responsibilities
  • Danielle’s commitment to honesty, hard conversations & letting go of others’ opinions
  • The stability & support she finds in her part-time ultrasound career

Start HereIn today's episode, I'm talking about what to do if you can't tell what your body is saying. If you've spent years in survival mode (especially in agriculture), disconnecting from your body isn't a failure; it's a skill you learned to get through hard seasons. 

Pushing through, overriding needs, and ignoring cues, that's how many of us survived. Of course, it feels confusing to suddenly be asked to "listen to your body" when you have NO idea how to do that!

If you're wondering how to reconnect with what your body is saying, start with awareness. I promise, it's never too late to relearn what your body is trying to tell you! 

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why so many of us genuinely have NO idea what our bodies are trying to tell us
  • How we learn to override body cues in survival mode
  • Why we put logic on a pedestal, but ignore sensations & emotions
  • What happens when we ignore body signals for too long
  • My personal story of what chronic override in the body can look like
  • Why feeling requires SAFETY first
  • How to start tuning in through non-judgmental awareness & curiosity
  • How to read your body like you read cattle
  • Why awareness is the first step that creates the next right action

What if Anger Isn’t Bad — It’s Just Misunderstood?In today's episode, I'm diving into the question: "What if anger isn't bad, it's just misunderstood?" Believe me, I used to be that person who felt guilty the instant anger showed up. 

Anger doesn't disappear just because we pretend it's not there. It builds, simmers, and eventually leaks out in ways we don't plan for. Anger is just information about how our bodies are feeling off, unsafe, or out of alignment (kind of like how our cattle show us when the pressure isn't right).

Ultimately, anger isn't "bad" or the enemy - it's a compass pointing us toward truth, alignment, and authenticity. When we listen to it, we gain clarity, stronger boundaries, deeper relationships, and a whole lot more connection!

In this episode, I cover:

  • What anger actually is + why it’s valuable information
  • How guilt and shame differ + why shame often shows up with anger
  • What suppressed anger turns into
  • How anger was modeled for us growing up + that shaped our avoidance of it
  • Why healthy anger supports boundaries, clarity & authenticity
  • Simple tools to help you work with anger

Comfortably Numb: What Healing Feels Like on the Other SideThere's been such a powerful ripple effect from episode 105, Comfortably Numb: When Calm Becomes Disconnection. After sharing more about it on social media, so many of you reached out with your own experiences of looking "fine" on the outside but feeling anything but that on the inside. 

In today's episode, I'm talking about being "comfortably numb" and what healing feels like on the other side. Healing doesn't make life easy, but it makes us capable. 

If you're longing to move from numb to calm and learn what healing feels like on the other side, I would be honored to walk with you inside 1:1 Good Movement Guidance! You never have to do this work alone, friend.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The difference between appearing “calm” and actually being disconnected or numb
  • How I used busyness, people-pleasing, and toxic positivity to avoid discomfort
  • My physical symptoms that showed up from long-term internal tension
  • What has majorly improved for me since I’ve focused on healing
  • How feeling anger, setting boundaries, and expressing honesty now feel good & grounding
  • Practices & key mindset shifts that have helped me reconnect with myself
  • Reflection questions to check in with yourself

The Hidden Wounds Behind the Four Horsemen of CommunicationIn today's episode, I'm talking about the hidden wounds behind the Four Horsemen of Communication. I really want to peel back the layers further and look at the wounds beneath the behaviors. 

Stonewalling (my personal default + the one for many of you as well) is often the body's cry for safety. Our nervous system is overwhelmed and shutting down because we just can't take any more.

These patterns once helped you survive, but they don't have to run the show anymore. When you're ready to explore what healing looks like in your life, I'd love to walk with you through it!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why the four horsemen often stem from deeper emotional wounds
  • How criticism seeks safety through control or perfection when love once felt performance-based
  • How contempt masks deep hurt or shame
  • Why defensiveness is a fear response rooted in not feeling safe to be wrong or misunderstood
  • Why stonewalling is the body’s “shutdown” mode when emotions or conflict feel unsafe
  • Realizing that these patterns once protected you, but won’t allow you to truly heal

Many of us grew up believing we were responsible for everyone else's emotions. We learned to stay quiet, stay polite, and keep everyone happy. Unfortunately, those patterns often show up later as burnout, resentment, or the quiet ache of always being available for everyone but ourselves.

Boundaries don't have to mean permanence or walls that never come down; they're more like fences with gates. Boundaries that grow capacity can be uncomfortable at first, but over time, that discomfort turns into peace and regrowth.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How to recognize when your body is signaling the need for a boundary
  • Why so many of us were conditioned to feel responsible for other people’s emotions
  • How guilt, burnout & resentment often show up when boundaries are missing
  • The difference between compassion and carrying someone else’s emotional load
  • Why boundaries are more like fences with gates than walls or distance
  • How boundaries help grow your capacity + protect your energy

Trading Whiskey for Witness: Will Hudson on Being Seen and Staying SoberI'm honored to welcome my friend, Will Hudson, to the podcast today!

Will's story starts like many others in ranch country: long hours, responsibility at a young age, and a deep desire to prove himself. But somewhere along the way, approval from others became his fuel, and drinking became the way to feel "good enough." 

In today's episode, we're diving into what being seen and staying sober has really entailed for Will. What started as a party habit in high school and college grew into something that quietly followed him home, into marriage and fatherhood. His story is one of redemption, humility, and hope. He is proof that healing doesn't make us weak; it makes us whole!

In this episode, we cover:

  • Will’s journey from ranch manager to rediscovering his faith, purpose & sobriety
  • How drinking became tied to seeking approval and self-worth
  • The moment Will’s wife’s ultimatum changed everything + what life looks like on the other side of addiction
  • The role of Wild Courage + the power of being witnessed without judgment or fixing
  • How faith, community & emotional honesty reshaped Will’s marriage and relationships
  • The unexpected ways inner healing has improved Will’s connection with horses & work on the ranch
  • Why true strength means showing up, being seen, and doing the hard inner work

Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse (And What to Do Instead)Relationships are built in the day-to-day: the small exchanges, the tone of our words, and the way we handle conflict when things start to go sideways. 

In today's episode, I'm diving into the Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse (and what to do instead). Sounds a bit dramatic (I know), but what's even more fascinating is that every single one of these horsemen has an antidote!

If you find yourself on the receiving end of these patterns, remember: you still have power. Stay curious about what might be happening underneath the reaction, because every relationship will face conflict. What matters most is how we HANDLE it.

After all, good movement in relationships looks like choosing presence over reaction, connection over protection, and grace over blame!

In this episode, I cover:

  • The Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse + what they reveal about communication
  • How criticism starts from a valid need but turns into a personal attack
  • Why contempt is the biggest predictor of divorce
  • How defensiveness fuels conflict instead of protecting you
  • What stonewalling looks like + why it often signals overwhelm
  • The antidotes for each horseman + how to use them in real time
  • What to do when you’re on the receiving end
  • Why awareness is the first step toward creating better connections & repairing

]]>Relationships are built in the day-to-day: the small exchanges, the tone of our words, and the way we handle conflict when things start to go sideways. 

In today's episode, I'm diving into the Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse (and what to do instead). Sounds a bit dramatic (I know), but what's even more fascinating is that every single one of these horsemen has an antidote!

If you find yourself on the receiving end of these patterns, remember: you still have power. Stay curious about what might be happening underneath the reaction, because every relationship will face conflict. What matters most is how we HANDLE it.

After all, good movement in relationships looks like choosing presence over reaction, connection over protection, and grace over blame!

In this episode, I cover:

  • The Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse + what they reveal about communication
  • How criticism starts from a valid need but turns into a personal attack
  • Why contempt is the biggest predictor of divorce
  • How defensiveness fuels conflict instead of protecting you
  • What stonewalling looks like + why it often signals overwhelm
  • The antidotes for each horseman + how to use them in real time
  • What to do when you’re on the receiving end
  • Why awareness is the first step toward creating better connections & repairing

Comfortably Numb: When Calm Becomes DisconnectionIn today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when calm becomes disconnection. What we often call calm isn't really calm at all. On the outside, it looks steady and strong, but inside? It can feel tight, numb, or completely disconnected - it's what I like to call "comfortably numb."

This is what so many of us in agriculture are taught - be tough, hold it together, and keep going (no matter what). But when calm becomes disconnection, we lose touch with ourselves AND the people around us.

True calm comes from a regulated nervous system. It's the kind of peace that allows you to think, feel, connect, and actually be present.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What true calm really means + how it differs from disconnection
  • Why we often mistake being calm for being disconnected
  • How to recognize the physical & emotional signs of true calm vs. shutdown
  • Practical ways to come back from a freeze or shutdown + reconnect with yourself and others

It Doesn’t Have to Be Major to MatterIn today's episode, I'm sharing why it doesn't have to be major to matter. Sometimes we downplay our pain because it doesn't look like a single, defining moment. We compare our experiences to others, dismissing our own hurts as "not that bad." 

But trauma isn't measured by the size of the event - it's about what happens INSIDE of us. Pain doesn't have to be major to matter - choosing to name it isn't wall wing, but will allow you to find true HEALING!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why pain doesn’t have to come from a major traumatic event to matter
  • How the little hurts & unmet needs can build up over time + affect us later
  • What shapes our individual capacity to handle pain
  • What happens when we keep dismissing the small stuff

From Fear-Based Compliance to Trust-Based RespectIn today's episode, I'm talking about going from fear-based compliance to trust-based respect. For so long, respect has been tied to compliance. 

True respect isn't taught through commands or punishments; it's cultivated! When we shift from fear-based control to trust-based respect, everything changes. Respect isn't about demanding quiet - it's about making space for someone's whole self to show up.

Maybe we don't need to bring back the kind of respect we once taught. Maybe it's time to redefine it, and create respect that grows roots, deepens relationships, and truly LASTS!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why true respect is something we cultivate, not something we can force or teach
  • What our horse revealed about the difference between fear-based compliance & trust-based respect
  • Key contrasts between fear-driven obedience & trust-built respect
  • Reflection questions + practical steps to help you shift from fear to trust in your own life

Stop Carrying Everyone Else’s Healing: Do the Work for You FirstIn today’s episode, I’m talking about why you need to stop carrying everyone else’s healing and do the work for you first. I personally had to learn the hard way that you can’t step into doing the inner work and healing for other people. If you try, it’s not going to unfold the way you hoped!

You’re not meant to carry everyone else’s healing on your back. As you’re working through your own “stuff”, you become a steady presence for those around you. It shows others what’s possible, and gives them permission to explore their own healing!

When you choose to do the work for you first, you’ll find that good movement always draws more good movement. If you’re ready to dip your toe into this work, the doors to the Good Movement Collective are open TODAY. I’d love to welcome you in and walk with you on this journey, friend!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why it’s vital that your own healing comes first
  • Why you’re NOT responsible for carrying everyone else’s inner work
  • What it really looks like to begin healing yourself first
  • How the Good Movement Collective can support you on this journey

One Intentional Breath: My First Step Toward Emotional HealingIn today’s episode, I’m talking about one intentional breath and why it was MY first step toward emotional healing. Back in October 2020, life felt like pure chaos. The ranch workload was heavier than ever, and I didn’t realize the toll it was taking on me until things finally slowed down. 

That’s when the anxiety, chest tightness, and overwhelm hit HARD. Out of desperation, I tried one deep, intentional breath (a big inhale and a long, slow exhale), and to my surprise, the tension began to release! 

That tiny act showed me I could actually shift how I felt right there in the moment. Taking one intentional breath can be calming, healing, and transformational. I’d love to hear if you try this in your everyday life, and how you feel afterward!

In this episode, I cover:

  • What led me to discover intentional breathing as a first step toward healing
  • Why our breath is the one area we CAN control + why this matters
  • How intentional breathing affects the nervous system & other parts of the body
  • Long-term benefits of practicing breathwork regularly
  • Simple moments when you can pause and use intentional breathing
  • Some easy breathing tools & exercises you can try right away

Ignoring It Isn’t the Answer—for Yourself or OthersIn today's episode, I'm talking about validation, and why ignoring it isn't the answer - for yourself OR others. I was reminded of this lesson again in our own barnyard with one of our cows. When I shifted my approach and started acknowledging her nervousness instead of ignoring her (which made things worse), I could almost feel her settle.

It's the same with people. We don't have to fully understand what someone's going through to validate them, and pushing down our own feelings doesn't make them disappear. When we acknowledge emotions—whether it's in a cow, a loved one, or ourselves—we create space for things to shift.

If this resonates with you, I'm here for you. You can schedule a free consult call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance, because you don't have to go at this alone!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why validation doesn't mean agreement (and why that's a common misconception)
  • My fresh story regarding how I validated an anxious cow
  • The 2 main approaches we often take with people
  • Why you don't have to fully understand what someone's going through to validate them
  • The power of self-validation + what it can look like in your daily life

Every Emotion Has a Purpose: Hurt or Heal, the Choice Is in the ResponseIn today's episode, I'm talking about why every emotion has a purpose, and the choice is in the response. Emotions are signals. Whether it's anger, fear, sadness, or joy, these emotions are alerting us to something.

If we choose to ignore them, we miss what they're trying to tell us. Remember - every emotion has a purpose, friend. When we learn to work with them, they truly can become some of our greatest guides!

If you need more help with learning to work WITH your emotions (instead of against them), I would be honored to support you inside my 1:1 Good Movement Guidance.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why all feelings are valid, even when they don’t feel logical
  • The purpose emotions serve + what happens when we ignore them
  • How different responses to emotions can either help or harm
  • Practical tools to pause, process, and choose intentional action

Cows, Kids, and Communication Gaps with TomIn today’s episode, Tom is back on the podcast, and we’re diving into all things cows, kids, and communication gaps. Earlier this week, Tom set out to move cattle with the kids while I stayed in for a workday. What was supposed to be a simple “fun” project quickly turned into a bit of a rodeo!

The heart of this episode is communication and perspective. What seems clear to one person may feel COMPLETELY different to another! When we don’t pause to check for understanding, things can spiral quickly. 

In the end, this story was a reminder of the learning that comes from moments like these. It’s vital that we slow down, make sure we’re on the same page, and recognize that communication isn’t just about what you say - it’s about how it’s heard!

In this episode, we cover:

  • A recent story of our kids “helping” with the cows (and how it really went)
  • How Tom’s inner critic made the situation feel worse than it actually was
  • Why clear communication matters so much (especially with family)
  • The very different perspectives between Tom and the kids
  • How Tom’s emotional waves have shifted through inner work and regulation

Manure to Meaning—Acknowledging the Crap Is the First StepIn today's episode, I'm diving into the concept of "manure to meaning" and why acknowledging the crap is the first step. The thing is, you can't turn crap into fertilizer right away. You have to admit it's manure FIRST, then compost it, sit with it, turn it over, and give it time to break down. 

Otherwise, it won't turn into anything that will be useful!

The truth is, we don't HAVE to wait until everything feels like it's falling apart or completely on fire to reach out for support.

Inner work isn't just for the breaking points. It's the fence check before the cows ever enter the pasture. It's choosing to tend to your emotional and mental health before the (you know what) hits the fan.

When life does knock you down, you'll have the tools and capacity to move through it with steadiness and strength!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why inner work isn’t *just* for when everything’s falling apart
  • How long we tend to wait before finally asking for help
  • The difference inner work has made in my life (especially in recent, hard seasons)
  • Journal prompts to help you reflect on your relationship with seeking support

I Thought I Didn’t Get Angry… Turns Out I Was Just Really Good at Stuffing It DownIn today's episode, I'm diving into why I thought I didn't get angry, but actually, I was just really good at shoving it down. If you grew up in rural spaces where stoicism and toughness are celebrated, you've probably been taught to think that anger isn't safe.

Ultimately, anger isn't the enemy - it's often just the messenger. Let's stop shoving anger down and start listening to it with curiosity and care!

In this episode, I cover:

  • How emotion is our first language + why anger is often the first one we learn to silence
  • The double standard in how anger is handled differently for men vs. women
  • What anger actually is
  • Real-life examples of what healthy aggression can look like
  • Tuning into where anger shows up in your body + getting curious about its message
  • Reflective journal prompts to help you explore and reclaim your anger

Family Dynamics and Emotional Healing with Paige DulaneyI'm excited to welcome my friend and Good Movement Collective member, Paige Dulaney, to the podcast today!

In today's episode, we're diving deeper into family dynamics and emotional healing. Through some major life changes and unexpected challenges, Paige has found herself reevaluating who she was, what she needed, and how to reclaim her voice.

Healing (especially emotional healing) is slow and unglamorous work, but it's absolutely worth it for yourself and your loved ones.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What led Paige to join the Good Movement Collective in a season of deep personal transition
  • Learning to trust herself again and reconnect with her inner voice
  • Why a strong connection with our kids doesn’t depend on who we were when they were born
  • The biggest shifts Paige has experienced since beginning her healing journey
  • Paige’s reflections on the Good Movement Collective + why she’d recommend to others
  • The power of feeling seen, heard, and supported by someone who truly “gets it”

Doing the Work for You: Matt Gasseling on Healing, Fatherhood, and Finding Self-WorthIn today's episode, Matt Gasseling and I are discussing healing, fatherhood, and finding self-worth. Doing the work for you can be difficult. It's not easy to prioritize yourself and work on your own stuff, especially when the world has taught you to push it all down and go it alone. 

Matt shares what's helped him on this journey, from quieting his inner critic and learning to pause when necessary, to leaning into curiosity and letting go of the need for perfection. This episode is an honest look at what healing really looks like, and why doing the work for YOU is one of the most powerful things you can do!

In this episode, we cover:

  • What initially led Matt to seek 1:1 Good Movement guidance
  • Why healing starts with learning to love yourself first
  • Realizing that you’re NOT meant to do this work alone
  • What’s shifted for Matt + the tools that are helping him now
  • The real purpose of inner work, healing, and nervous system regulation

Both-And: An Exercise for Holding the Crappy and the HappyIn today's episode, I'm sharing an exercise for holding the crappy and the happy, because life is often BOTH. It's called the "fart and the flower" exercise! It's such a great way to name the hard and the good, all in one breath. 

This practice is all about emotional honesty and balance. It's a way to remind yourself that you're allowed to feel both the crappy and the happy (simple acknowledgement and awareness is key here), and that naming the hard doesn't cancel out the good. 

I'd love to hear how you incorporate this into YOUR daily routine, and how it goes for you!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why focusing only on the “good” can backfire
  • The “fart and the flower” exercise for balancing the hard AND the happy
  • Easy ways to weave the “fart and the flower” practice into your daily routines
  • Why it’s all about simple, low-pressure acknowledgment (not “forced” gratitude)

Vulnerability gets squashed by shame. 

It's time we flip the script and stop minimizing what we're feeling. Your feelings MATTER - they're not a burden or a weakness. If you need space to unpack something heavy, I've recently opened up one-time, 1:1 guidance calls. I've been there, and I know how valuable it can be to talk with someone who sees and hears you. I'd be honored to support you because you are NOT alone, friend!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why we tend to downplay our feelings + how that keeps us stuck
  • What to say instead of “I’m just complaining” when you need to be heard
  • The quiet power of simply being present for someone in their pain

You Don’t Need Their Apology to HealIn today's episode, I'm talking about why you don't need their apology to heal. We crave the apology so deeply because we're HUMAN. We're wired for connection and closure as humans; our hearts want to be seen, known, and heard. 

When we believe that healing is only possible after someone else makes it right, we unknowingly tie our freedom to someone else's readiness or willingness to take responsibility.

It IS possible to let go of this weight that was never yours to carry in the first place. If you need more support on your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you in Good Movement Collective or 1:1 Good Movement Guidance!

  • Why it’s so human to long for apologies and validation

Not All ‘Sorrys’ Are Equal - What Apologies Are and What They're NotIn today's episode, I'm talking about what apologies are and what they're not. Apologies are an act of repair - they don't undo what happened or wipe it all clean, but they CAN mend the fabric of a relationship. 

Receiving apologies can feel foreign, too. You can receive an apology while still honoring your pain and holding boundaries. You don't have to pretend it didn't hurt just to make someone else feel better!

I hope this episode encourages you to reflect on your relationship with apologies (both on the giving AND receiving end). If you need more support in this area, this is the kind of work we do inside the Good Movement Collective and in 1:1 Good Movement Guidance.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What true apologies are + how they help to mend connection 
  • What apologies are NOT
  • Why so many of us struggle to receive apologies + how to practice receiving them with grace
  • Naming and grieving the hurt when an apology never comes
  • Practical tips for offering a genuine, heartfelt apology

What Grace Is (And What It’s Not)In today's episode, I'm talking about what grace is (and what it's not). We hear "give yourself grace" or "extend grace to others" alllll the time. But grace isn't pretending everything's fine or letting people treat us poorly. It's not stuffing your feelings to keep the peace. 

Real grace tells the TRUTH, holds boundaries, and stays rooted in kindness. It's curiosity without judgment and staying present when it would be easier to shut down. And yes, grace includes you, too!

If this resonates, I'd love for you to check out our new private podcast, The Draw, if you want to go even deeper and learn ways that will help you start to heal in YOUR own way!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why grace is NOT people-pleasing, fake peace, or avoiding hard truths
  • Why grace is truth-telling, boundary-holding, and rooted in kindness
  • A personal story of extending real grace to Tom during a frustrating moment
  • Why grace makes space for connection, healing, and growth instead of shame

The Dangerous Comfort of Judgment: Responding to Tragedy with Humanity**Trigger Warning: This episode was tough for me to record, and it may be tough to listen to. It includes topics of homicide and suicide.

In today's episode, I'm sharing some details about the tragic death of Bailey Koch and her family and talking about the dangerous comfort of judgment and responding to tragedy with humanity. While I get the instinct to say, "I would never," I also know that judgment gives us FALSE comfort and doesn't help us respond with humanity.

This conversation is about way more than one tragic event - it's about the deeper patterns of silence, shame, and isolation in our culture (especially in rural life). If this stirred something up in you, I want you to know that's okay! Let those feelings soften you. You can hold space and ask honest questions. 

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why judgment is often our reflex + how it gives us a false sense of control
  • What to do when we catch ourselves in that space of quick judgment
  • Risks of staying silent and ignoring red flags in ourselves or others
  • How we can create safer + more compassionate spaces for those struggling with mental health

I'm sharing a sweet story about my son, his little sister, and the rope that led to him unintentionally tripping her (she's fine, and they both laughed about it after!) to demonstrate how your nervous system works.

When you've been through hardship, trauma, or even the slow drip of stress, your body just learns how to survive. And when those survival patterns are repeated enough, they become second nature, just like roping.

But you have to stay stuck in those patterns. I invite you to join The Draw, my brand new private podcast that is inner work on YOUR terms, so you can get through hard seasons without burning out or blowing up.

In this episode, I cover:

  • An exciting announcement that will allow you to go deeper into your inner work
  • A lighthearted story about my son, his ever-present rope & the power of muscle memory
  • Why your nervous system leans on old reflexes + how it’s really trying to keep you safe
  • The healing that comes when you notice old patterns without shame and begin building new ones rooted in safety, trust & connection

Feeling Without Falling Apart: How to Start When It Feels Like Too MuchIn today's episode, I'm talking about feeling without falling apart and how to start when it feels like too much. Because we've all been taught to push through, stay tough, and avoid being too much, but your emotional system doesn't shut off just because you ignore it. 

Naming your emotions without trying to fix them, noticing body cues, and even using grounding tools like music or journaling all create emotional fences that allow you to feel without drowning. 

Feeling without falling apart IS possible, but it takes time. If you're doing this work, I am so proud of you because this is SUCH a brave step. Healing doesn't happen all at once, but ultimately, it will bring you back home to yourself!

In this episode, I cover:

  • What can happen when you try to feel ALL of your feelings at once
  • What it means to get stuck in fight, flight, or freeze + how to gently return to rest and digest
  • Simple tools to help you safely process emotions one step at a time (without letting them take over)
  • The power of going slow and steady as you build emotional resilience and safety

Self-Reliance vs. Connection: What Actually Helps Us HealIn today's episode, I'm talking about self-reliance vs. connection and what actually helps us heal. So many of us were raised to believe that needing help is a weakness or that slowing down to feel our emotions makes us soft.

Healing in isolation might feel safe, but true transformation happens in connection, especially when we have someone to walk beside us. Community gives us the courage to stay with the hard stuff and is what actually helps us heal.

If you're craving this kind of support, the Good Movement Collective is now open for its third round. I'd love to support you on this journey of healing & growing together!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Realizing that just because we can carry it alone doesn’t mean we should
  • Why we’re designed for connection as humans & need relationships with others
  • Working through the hard stuff in life instead of continuously shoving it down
  • Reflections you can start now to support your healing & inner work

A Lesson from Ted Lasso on Healing and Holding Two Things at OnceIn today's episode, I'm talking about a lesson from Ted Lasso on healing and holding two things at once. As humans, we REALLY struggle with duality in our culture. We've been conditioned to think that everything is either/or and not ever both/and. 

It's crucial that you don't suppress your emotions, even when they feel uncomfortable. Those suppressed emotions won't just magically disappear! One of my favorite ways to work through this is using the “f- you and thank you" exercise. It's been incredibly helpful for me, and I have a feeling it will be for you, too!

If you're ready to learn more about this exercise and other tools OR you need someone to walk with you on your healing journey, I would love to support you in this way. You can join me and other amazing women in rural America in my 1:1 Good Movement Guidance - we're all healing and learning together!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why humans struggle with duality in our culture - especially with emotions
  • Understanding that suppressed emotions don't just disappear
  • Personal examples of how I've felt both "f- you" and "thank you" emotions
  • How to use the "f- you and thank you" exercise in your own life

Healing Isn’t About Never Hurting AgainIn today's episode, I'm talking about why healing isn't about never hurting again. Just like physical wounds, emotional healing requires time, protection, and intentional care. Even when you've worked through something, and you feel healed and closed, something is bound to open that wound back up from time to time!

Setting boundaries and giving yourself space can really help with emotional healing, especially when you're just beginning the healing process. Remember, healing isn't about never hurting again. No matter where you are on your healing journey, you are NOT broken.  

I would love to know what you're working to heal right now. If you need guidance in that area, I would be honored to talk with you about it in a 1:1 consult call. Let's work on your healing together! 

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why emotional healing requires more time, protection & intentional care
  • Setting boundaries & giving yourself space to help with emotional healing
  • Examples of emotional bumps + open wounds vs. healed scars
  • Ways you can respond when you get emotionally bumped
  • Recognizing that healing does NOT mean you’re weak when you feel pain again

  • Kelly's "dark night of the soul" experience that led her to step away from practicing law and take a holistic approach to her life
  • How holistic resilience has impacted Kelly + the work she does with her clients
  • Why resilience does NOT equal grit

Our brains are wired for survival, and we LIKE what's comfortable and safe, even when it's actually the opposite of that. 

The pull of the familiar is SO strong, but it's not unbreakable. With curiosity, bravery, and support, it's totally possible to step out of what's comfortable and into something better.

Change can be scary, friend, but this is also where growth happens (believe me - I know this ALL too well). If you need help in this area, I'm here for you, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey!

In this episode, I cover:

How We’ve Navigated Expectations in Ranch Life and Marriage with TomIn today's episode, Tom and I are talking about how we've navigated expectations in ranch life and marriage. We've learned that unspoken expectations are resentments waiting to happen. If you're going to have an expectation about XYZ, you've got to speak it - not everyone is going to have the same expectation or understand where you're coming from! 

We hope this episode gives you a more REAL insight into how we've navigated expectations in ranch life and marriage. We've both done the inner work on our own (as well as together); it takes time to get there, but it's absolutely worth it.

Remember - speaking expectations are so, SO important. People aren't mind readers, and they can't meet expectations they don't know exist! 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Tom’s experience with having high, unspoken expectations of others + how that’s changed
  • What to consider if your expectations are consistently NOT being met
  • The correlation between feeling safe & effectively communicating your expectations
  • Making sure that YOU’RE in the right place mentally in order to help others

Cleaning the Shop: Why Feeling Your Feelings Gets Worse Before It Gets BetterIn today's episode, I'm talking about cleaning the shop and why feeling your feelings gets worse before it gets better. Many of us have been little hoardy hoarders with our feelings for years. When you finally decide it's time to start the process of working through your emotions, not only are you feeling your emotions in the moment, but you're also unpacking YEARS of emotions!

Feeling your feelings is NOT easy - especially if it's something you've never done before. Fortunately, the clarity and peace you find on the other side will be SO worth it. I've experienced this in my own life, and I know it's possible for you, too!

In this episode, I cover:

  • What happens when you stop feeling your feelings + what it’s like when you DO
  • Starting small when processing your emotions vs. tackling them all at once
  • How to ground yourself as you work through this process
  • What it feels like when you finally process your feelings & emotions in the moment
  • How you can support others who are just starting this process

Maintaining Your Fences: The Art of Healthy BoundariesHealthy boundaries are essential for protecting ourselves and our relationships, but unhealthy boundaries can isolate us and keep us from facing reality. I talked about why boundaries can be one of the kindest things we do for ourselves in episode 36 (you can listen here if you haven't or if you need a refresher). 

In today's episode, I'm talking about the process of maintaining your fences and the art of healthy boundaries. My favorite analogy to use in regard to boundaries is fences. We have a variety of fences we use on the ranch, and they all serve a different purpose. 

You have to be intentional about how you build and maintain boundaries so they truly serve you and your relationships well!  

In this episode, I cover:

  • Different types of fences in relation to boundaries
  • Why the purpose of boundaries can be both helpful AND harmful
  • Questions to ask yourself when setting boundaries
  • What it looks like to maintain healthy boundaries

When Pain Finds You: A Personal Update on Growth, Healing, and HopeIn today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when pain finds you and a bit of a personal update on growth, healing, and hope. I was given news that no one EVER wants to hear when it comes to their health.

As I'm currently walking through this new and unfamiliar situation, I can't help but think of how vital it is to process our emotions. When we choose to process (or, more often, NOT process) our emotions, this ultimately impacts our health. We can't suppress our emotions over and over again and expect our health not to take a toll in the long run!

In this episode, I cover:

  • My recent (not so fun) situation with my health
  • How processing (or not processing) our emotions will impact our health
  • Realizing that pain IS a part of life, but we can find meaning & opportunity in it

The Gift of Pain: Why We Should Stop Ignoring It"Pain isn't a bug; it's a feature." I first heard this quote from grief expert David Kessler on the Dr. John Deloney Show (give it a listen HERE if you want to check it out). This particular phrase hit me, and it really stuck with me. 

In today's episode, I'm talking about the gift of pain and why we should stop ignoring it. Pain is not an anomaly - it's not meant to be shoved down or something we need to fix. Pain draws our attention to something so we can learn what's going on; it's an invitation for us to grow because it shows us what needs more focus and attention!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Changing how we view pain and its purpose for us
  • What can happen when we ignore pain and the signals it sends us
  • My experience with a major pain point in my own life
  • Practical ways to engage with pain
  • Getting curious on where pain is showing up in your life

Burnout on the Ranch: How We’re Learning to Recover Faster with TomIn today's episode, Tom and I are talking about what burnout on the ranch looks like and how we're learning to recover faster. This fall was tougher than usual, and it seemed to drag on and on - we both felt that way throughout the season!

We're also chatting about winter projects we're focusing on and what Tom's experience with burnout has been like.

Burnout is incredibly real in this line of work, but it doesn't have to be your reality forever. If you've been in a similar season with burnout on the ranch and are ready for recovery, or you're simply looking forward to a slower time of year like we are, we hope this episode encourages you right where you need it!

In this episode, we cover:

  • The process of shuffling herds on the ranch + putting more woe back into the cows
  • Why what we think we need to do to slow down or stop cattle ends up being the opposite of that
  • Our upcoming winter projects
  • What burnout on the ranch has typically looked like for Tom + how we've worked together when certain projects weren't going well this fall

Breaking the Stigma: Redefining Strength in Rural CommunitiesAs someone who grew up in rural America (and is still there), I'm very familiar with the mindset that comes along with this way of life. We're raised to keep our emotions to ourselves, work hard, and push through, no matter WHAT. Talking about our feelings and emotions is unnecessary and makes us look weak. 

In today's episode, I'm talking about breaking the stigma and what redefining strength in rural communities looks like. We can take simple steps toward breaking this stigma and start focusing on supporting our mental health and well-being and building resilient communities with thriving families.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The typical mindset that’s often ingrained in us in rural America
  • What happens when we bottle up our emotions and ignore our mental well-being
  • The collective resolution I want us to make in the new year
  • Simple ways for us to begin breaking the stigma together

If you’re someone who is used to numbing certain emotions, I really want you to get curious as to WHY you’re doing so. Instead of numbing, take time to recognize, feel, and accept your emotion(s). Then, you can get ready to bring joy and happiness into your life in a BOLD, new way!

The Story You Don’t Know: Extending Grace Without Accepting BehaviorIn today's episode, I'm talking about extending grace without accepting behavior. It's a universal truth that everyone has a reason for their actions - there is ALWAYS a why behind a behavior. Even when we don't know the whole truth (and we may never), we can choose to extend more grace.

My challenge for you is to look for that story that you might have missed. Even if you can't find it, please know that there IS a story you don't know completely. After all, grace doesn't cost us that much, so let's start extending more of it today!

In this episode, I cover:

  • The concept of "we don't know what we don't know" and choosing to give a little more grace
  • Understanding that everyone has a reason for their actions and there's always more to the story
  • Why extending grace does NOT mean that you accept or condone behavior
  • Why grace matters and its vital connection to emotions
  • How we can extend more grace to others

Relationship Before Horsemanship: Insights from Warwick SchillerIn today's episode, we're discussing what "Relationship before Horsemanship" really looks like with Warwick Schiller and how this applies to ALL beings (not just horses).

We also discuss what unraveling and shattering long-held truths can look like, the importance of validation in all of our interactions, why extending grace to animals seems to come easier for us than to our fellow humans, and much more. 

In this episode, we cover:

  • A pivotal experience that led to Warwick’s focus on relationship before horsemanship
  • How working with horses started Warwick’s journey of unraveling and the role his podcast plays in showing the unraveling of our cultural and societal conditionings
  • Ways to support horses with nervous system regulation using connection and how this applies to people, too
  • How we are in charge of creating our own reality and how we choose to interact with any type of being (human or animal)
  • Why it seems easier for us to extend grace to our animals rather than to our fellow humans
  • The concept of waiting vs. doing when working with horses and why the nervous system isn’t meant to be calm all the time
  • Why attachment and attunement are what humans need most but are also most lacking

Reclaiming MindfulnessRecently, my son and I were out riding. He was fascinated with wild onions and even got off his horse to pick some! I was quick to tell him that we were burning daylight and we needed to get back to work. But as kids, mindfulness allows us to see things in a new light and believe in the possibility of change, and it's time that we find our way back to that!

In today's episode, I'm talking about reclaiming mindfulness and what it can look like when you're burning daylight or missing the moment. We'll explore how children's innate awareness can inspire our own mindfulness practice, how we can foster that in our kids, and some simple steps to reconnect with the present moment as adults.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How kids are naturally mindful, curious, and present in the moment (and how this gradually changes as we become adults)
  • Why we lose awareness and mindfulness as adults, and how this impacts our kids
  • Ways to reclaim our awareness and mindfulness as adults
  • How we can foster awareness and mindfulness in our kids

In today's episode, I'm talking about reclaiming mindfulness and what it can look like when you're burning daylight or missing the moment. We'll explore how children's innate awareness can inspire our own mindfulness practice, how we can foster that in our kids, and some simple steps to reconnect with the present moment as adults.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How kids are naturally mindful, curious, and present in the moment (and how this gradually changes as we become adults)
  • Why we lose awareness and mindfulness as adults, and how this impacts our kids
  • Ways to reclaim our awareness and mindfulness as adults
  • How we can foster awareness and mindfulness in our kids

Whose Side of the Fence Is That On? Navigating Responsibility in RelationshipsIn today's episode, I'm talking about navigating responsibility in relationships. These 'fences' in relationships represent important pieces like boundaries, emotional well-being, and the overall health of the relationship. 

Just like on the ranch, knowing whose side of the fence an issue is on brings clarity, prevents confusion, and may even help prevent future conflict. When we know what we're responsible for (like fixing our own emotional fences or recognizing that someone else has work to do on their side), we can navigate our relationships with more grace, patience, and understanding! 

In this episode, I cover:

  • The importance of having clear & established agreements in both your real-life fences + the ‘fences’ in your relationships
  • Understanding that sometimes the issue is clearly yours to fix, and other times it is the other person’s
  • Signs that it’s not your responsibility/something that’s on your side of the fence
  • Ways to help you determine whose side of the fence an issue is on + what to do when it IS on the other person’s side

From Treat Yo Self to Maintain Yourself: A New Take on Self-CareIn today's episode, I'm talking about the "treat yo self to maintain yourself" concept and what a new take on self-care can look like. Self-care is about meeting your basic needs and caring for the whole self - mind, body, and soul. Each of these parts needs optimal attention so you can show up fully in every aspect of your life.

I hope this episode provides you with a new take on self-care because you don't need permission to take care of yourself. But if, for some reason, you still think you do, here's your reminder to take care of yourself, friend!

In this episode, I cover:

  • What self-care and taking care of your "whole self" really is
  • Simple + practical ways to weave self-care into your daily life

From Grazing to Relationships: Why Feel Matters More Than FormulasGuess who’s back on the podcast with me today?? If you guessed Tom... you nailed it! We’re talking about something that’s been on Tom’s mind for a while, and that is a formula-like a ‘plug the variables into your equation and get a solution’ type of formula.

In today’s episode, we talk about why ‘feel’ matters more than formulas. This is applicable from grazing to relationships and everything in between. Whether you’re working with cattle or another type of animal, or you’re working to improve your human relationships, there is no ‘special’ formula to make it work. It’s important to understand that you do need to find your ‘feel’; this is going to vary with each person, as well as with the animal or human you’re connecting with.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Understanding that there’s no exact ‘formula’ for handling & moving cattle + how this applies to human relationships, too
  • What it can look like as your goals and priorities change over time
  • How you actually develop the ‘feel’ with both animals and humans

Creating the Tools Before You Need Them: Building Emotional Resilience and CommunicationToday’s episode is inspired by a book that I recently finished reading, ‘The Principles of Training’ by Warwick Schiller. He has 12 different principles about training your horse, but they’re actually applicable across the board - just like good movement! The specific training we’re discussing today is what it looks like to create a tool before you need to use it.

In today’s episode, I talk about creating the tools before you need them and how to go about building emotional resilience and communication. Similar to horses, humans need to create tools that will lead to effective communication and emotional regulation. Essentially, we need to have these tools established BEFORE we use them.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The importance of asking honest questions + why we first need to do this when the stakes are ‘low’
  • Why breathing is a powerful tool to help us regulate our nervous systems in stressful situations + simple techniques to try
  • Taking a deliberate, intentional pause before responding in a high-stress, high-emotion situation
  • How body awareness and grounding can help during tense and ‘heated’ moments

Keeping Calm in Conflict: Validation Strategies for Heated MomentsWe’re talking about one of the hardest times to practice validation in this episode - during tough conversations. Yep...I’m talking about those heated moments where emotions run high, and it’s so easy for things to quickly go sideways.

Choosing to acknowledge both our emotions + the other person’s can be super beneficial. Not only does this decrease the ‘power’ these emotions tend to have over us, but it also lets the other person know we understand them, and they matter.


I want to challenge you to try one (or a few) of these validation strategies the next time you find yourself in a tense situation (or better yet...maybe practice BEFORE the situation arises). I hope you’ve enjoyed this series, and everything you’ve learned about validation will be helpful in your own life!


In this episode, I cover:

  • Understanding that high stakes equals high emotions + how this plays out in our day-to-day rural lives
  • How to stay ‘grounded’ during heated moments
  • Why acknowledging everyone’s emotions during tough, heated moments matters
  • The power that comes from using neutral, calm language
  • The importance of balancing validation with setting boundaries

In today’s episode, I talk about practical tips for validation, and specifically, how to validate and seek it in relationships.

Validation is not about ‘fixing’ problems or offering solutions, but rather, seeing, hearing, and trying to understand each other. Not only can we offer validation without fully understanding or agreeing with one another, but we can validate ourselves too. After all...that is where the REAL connection begins.

Even if you don’t agree with or understand the other person, it’s important that they feel seen. This then fosters trust, connection, and emotional safety, which is incredibly important AND powerful.

Calming the Sort Alley: How to Communicate in the Heat of the MomentToday’s episode is coming to you from a cute little Airbnb at a women’s ag event in Utah! I originally planned to record a different topic before coming here, but...plans changed, and so did my mind after speaking here.

I was asked to speak on the topic of building strong relationships on cattle operations through communication, which you may know by now is right up my alley! I love doing workshop-style presentations and answering questions from other people. One of the common themes that kept coming up was how to communicate in faster-paced, intense environments (like you would encounter in the sort alley), so I wanted to give you my best suggestions on how to do so.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Choosing not to communicate in the heat of the moment unless you have your emotions regulated and in check
  • Ask honest questions so you can gain knowledge and find a way forward to help the other person(s) involved + yourself 
  • Validating others and their feelings and why ‘soft’ doesn’t mean weak
  • How to get other people on board with improving communication and drawing good movement and why it’s a ‘slow burn’

We thought it would be fun to do a little summer ‘recap’ episode, since summer is officially coming to a close. In today’s episode, we talk about anxiety and string fence, and more of what’s been happening in our lives recently. Tom dealt with the aftermath of a tornado, and has spent a lot of time branding and string fencing. He even had his first encounter with what we think was anxiety, regarding weaning cows. The weaning process has very much been a learning experience for us over the years, and we’ve definitely adjusted what has worked well (and not so well).


In this episode, we cover:

  • Branding and string fencing + Tom’s recent (and first) experience with anxiety
  • Preparation for weaning the cows and calves + how this has gone for us in the past
  • Our epic kayaking adventure + the pride and excitement we felt for our kids showing at the fair

Team Lift Your Life: The Importance of Connection and Sharing StrugglesToday’s episode is inspired by some recent events (which is typically my MO here anyway) -  community and connection. I’ve heard (more times than I can count) the saying that is ‘it’s my burden to bear’ or ‘it’s my cross to carry’, when someone is struggling. Maybe you didn’t know this (or maybe it’s just a helpful reminder), but we are NOT meant to bear our crosses alone! We  literally need connection to help us along in life. 

In today’s episode, I talk about what it means to ‘team lift your life’, and the importance of connection and sharing struggles. We’re supposed to ‘team lift’ and help each other when life gets hard!


In this episode, I cover:

  • Understanding that we are NOT meant to struggle and ‘bear our crosses’ alone
  • Why you need to reach out to your people and community when you’re experiencing life’s challenges

Cultivating Resilience + Fighting Well: Dannel Wissler on Mental Health and Family Dynamics in Rural AmericaI’m honored to have my incredible friend, Dannel Wissler, on the podcast today!

Dannel is a farm wife and mom to 4, and she also had a deep desire to become a licensed counselor. As a licensed professional counselor, Dannel helps people address a wide variety of emotional needs and challenges. 


In today’s conversation, Dannel and I delve into cultivating resilience, fighting well, and the crucial role that mental health has on family dynamics in rural America. Dannel loves working with many different types of clients, from couples and families to first responders, and even those in the ag space. People in agriculture are incredibly strong and resilient (which is something to be proud of). But...the stigma that’s associated with this space often leads us to believe that it’s weak (or even unnecessary) to ask for help when we’re struggling with our mental health. 


We aren’t meant to suffer in our own little ‘silo’ that we’ve created; feeling like we need to hide our shortcomings and woundings from everyone but our families (who usually see the ‘uglier’ parts of us) isn’t something we can do forever either! It’s vital that we stay anchored in the present, while getting help so we can successfully move forward, and ultimately, thrive.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Dannel’s inspirational journey of pursuing her dreams, while still being a present wife and mom
  • The entrepreneurial ‘push’ that led Dannel to start Willow Oaks Counseling + the wide variety of clients she supports
  • Multiple barriers affecting the ag community + why it’s necessary to ‘break the stigma’ when you’re struggling and need support with your mental health
  • How Dannel’s role in both agriculture and counseling have influenced each other, and every part of her life
  • Dannel’s book, Saving Mr. Toad

Where is the Why?I don’t know about you, but I’ve been really bothered about our lack of ‘why’ - like, why are we just assuming we already know #allthethings, and not being more curious about what’s going on around us? Just like with a car that’s not running properly, it’s important to get to the root of the issue and actually fix what’s wrong, instead of letting it go until it stops running all together.

In today’s episode, I talk about where is the ‘why’; we must understand that if we don’t choose to ask questions and dig into things deeper (instead of ‘playing it safe’ at the surface level), we won’t really be able to resolve anything. The lack of ‘why’ has become more of a significant issue for me after consuming one of Dr. Gabor Matè’s books, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts (linked below), all about addiction. This book really changed the game for me and has led me to become hyper aware of common behaviors, issues, etc. in our society. ALL of our problems come from some type of wounding; in order to actually repair and heal what’s happened, we should be pursuing actual solutions, not slapping on band-aids to simply cover up the problem!


In this episode, I cover:

  • Understanding that if we don’t choose to ask questions or dig deeper into something, we won’t be able to truly resolve it
  • What totally changed my viewpoint on our lack of ‘why’ + the hyperawareness I now have regarding many behaviors and issues in the world
  • Realizing that ALL problems come from woundings that haven’t healed + why we’re going to completely miss what we’re seeing if we don’t stop and ask ‘why’

How Attachment and Attunement Have Transformed My ParentingI’ve been talking a lot about attachment and attunement, and how these two pieces have dramatically impacted my parenting journey. In a recent episode, I discussed what I would do differently if I could do parenting all over again. In today’s episode, I want to talk about how attachment and attunement have transformed my parenting, and what I actually AM doing differently, knowing what I know now.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How I’m now ‘feeling my feelings’, and actually acknowledging my emotions + why I’m encouraging my kids to do the same
  • Why I’m choosing to hug my kids when they’re experiencing really strong emotions, instead of adding fuel to the fire by getting angry myself
  • Being willing to work on our confidence and asking for support when we get frustrated

My Mind-Blowing Realization About EmotionsIn today’s episode, I want to dig into my mind-blowing realization about emotions. When it comes to emotions, we must understand that emotions themselves are not the problem, but rather, our resistance to actually feeling them is. Emotions are very much like riding a roller coaster too (which my good friend Sheila shared here on the podcast); we can’t continually numb anger, fear, and sadness, yet still expect to fully feel emotions like happiness and joy. It may be difficult to hear, but ‘selectively’ numbing emotions just isn’t possible!

I hope this episode leaves you with a ‘light bulb’ moment - especially if you’re someone who is used to numbing certain emotions (yep, that used to be me). If this rings true for you, I really want you to get curious as to why you’re doing so. Instead of numbing, take time to recognize, feel, and accept your emotion(s), and then get ready to bring joy and happiness into your life in a BOLD, new way!


In this episode, I cover:

  • Understanding that our emotions themselves are not the problem, but instead, our resistance to emotions is
  • Realizing that we can’t numb emotions like fear, anger, and sadness, and still expect to feel happiness, joy, and love to the fullest

What I Would Do Differently in Parenting if I Had It to Do Over AgainWell...cue Rod Stewart, because I do wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger! In my recent episode about attachment and attunement (episode 38), I kind of left you hangin’ when I said I would have done some things differently - especially with parenting. After receiving some questions about what specifically I would have done differently, I wanted to dive into just that in today’s episode. I know this is information that you will not only benefit from, but will very likely resonate with too, regardless of where you are on your parenting journey.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What my work and life looked like when I became a mom
  • Seeking help on my own healing journey and ‘filling the holes’ that I had in my attachment brain
  • My thoughts on the sleep schedule/sleep training I implemented with my kids as babies, and if I would do anything differently now
  • Realizing that we are ALL imperfect humans, and none of us are exempt from pain or adversity in this life

Kiah loves helping people pursue curiosity and authenticity in their own lives, instead of chasing after worldly notions that only lead to emptiness and unfulfillment. In today’s conversation, Kiah and I discuss what a ‘Quest for Joy’ looks like, and why she is on a mission to bring this concept out into the world.


Practicing self-awareness and allowing ourselves the gift of healing can feel extremely hard in the moment. However, it does show us what is no longer serving us, and guides us back home to our true selves (something both Kiah and I have experienced). Kiah is an incredible human being with so much love and energy to share with the world; if you’re on your own quest for joy and are ready to (re) discover your authentic self again, this is the episode for you!!


In this episode, we cover:

  • What the Quest for Joy entails + why so many of us are seeking joy from things that still leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled
  • How Kiah plans to get Quest for Joy out into the world and bring people along for this journey 
  • Why our inability to process negative emotions tends to hinder our ability to feel, process, and welcome joy
  • The generational changes that we are now seeing with emotions
  • How the ‘arrival fallacy’ traps us into believing that a certain moment, achievement, etc. is the only way to make us feel happy and worthy
  • Why our healing journey shows us the power in shedding what’s no longer serving us, and allows us to come back ‘home’ to ourselves
  • Kiah’s ever-evolving Quest for Joy journey + her commitment to authenticity and truly getting to know herself again

Sheila is one of my dearest friends who’s also in Nebraska - she’s a fellow mom of 3, and a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) who’s had her own firm for 7 years (she has over 15 years experience in the accounting space though). She’s on a mission to help female owned businesses feel confident about their money and build wealth, without burnout. Sheila experienced a major identity crisis when she became a mom; over time, this led her to start her own accounting firm. As she began to delve into her life in other ways, her self-awareness and communication skills were totally revamped, which led to another significant life shift.


It can feel challenging and super uncomfortable to work through difficulties in your life, but when you choose to do so, so much GOOD comes from it too - Sheila and I both know this well! Maybe you’re struggling with knowing when to set a boundary, or you’re capping the potential for you and what is possible for your life. Whatever it is, please know that you ARE worth doing this work (regardless of how hard it may be) - the healing that awaits you on the other side is pretty incredible!


In this episode, we cover:

  • How improved self-awareness and communication greatly impacted Sheila, and ultimately, led to divorce and co-parenting for her and her former husband
  • What can happen when you have healthy boundaries in place and choose to release all expectations
  • Learning to honor and accept the emotions you’re experiencing, instead of suppressing them and feeling shame, guilt, etc. 
  • Why attachment and attunement are what humans need most, and are also lacking most
  • Getting support where you need it so you can truly understand YOUR particular needs, and get out of what feels like ‘survival mode’

Building Community with Kylie EppersonI’m super excited to have my good friend, Kylie Epperson, on the podcast today! She’s on a mission to help rural women live authentic, confident, and colorful lives, and has found immense gratitude as she’s experienced rural living, ag life, and motherhood. More recently, she’s passionate about building the Farm Wives Club™️ community and membership, and is thrilled to be offering the first live, in-person event this fall (September 2024)! Kylie has navigated her fair share of ‘high highs’ and ‘low lows’ on her farm wife journey over the last decade.

We aren’t meant to live life isolated, and think that no one understands our struggles - we should be actively connecting with others, and nurturing relationships that allow us to flourish. Kylie is actively building community and showing us that authentic connection IS possible (and very much needed). 


In this episode, we cover:

  • Kylie’s beautiful and vulnerable journey that started with the Grateful Farm Wife + how this led to her to find more gratitude and awareness in her life
  • The ‘seed of desire’ that grew into the Farm Wives Club™️ + what this has evolved into
  • Why we need deeper connection in our world today (now, more than ever) + understanding that community is vital, and allows us to thrive
  • Kylie’s idea for a Farm Wives Club™️ in-person, live event + how this will allow you to feel renewed and (re)connected before pouring back into your loved ones at home

Attachment and Attunement - What Do Those Words Even Mean?In today’s episode, I want to talk about attachment and attunement, and why we need BOTH of these to not only survive, but thrive. But...what do these words even mean?! Attachment is really the foundation upon which everything else in our brain is built, and attunement is our awareness and responsiveness to the needs of others. Our society is severely lacking in both attachment and attunement, but that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way - we can change that, especially as we become more aware of how to do so.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The mind-blowing information I’ve learned from my recent consumption of Dr. Gabor Mate’s books
  • What attachment and attunement mean + why we need both to survive 
  • Gaining awareness with just how important attachment and attunement are + my commitment to improving my personal relationships

An Update on Life and Our CowsThis episode is a bit of a ‘proof of life’ one from Tom and I! Really though, we’re excited to give you a little update on how our cows are doing + other life happenings. This time of year is crazy busy for Tom and I as we’re deep into work on the ranch with calving season, branding cows, and a variety of other things going on for our family.

While this time of year brings an entirely new level of exhaustion (in more ways than one), it’s not terrible, and it also doesn’t last forever. We’re very family-oriented and grateful to still be together much of the time with everything going on. If you’re in a similar busy season, try to take it one day at a time; make sure you’re effectively communicating with those around you, and of course, don’t forget to draw good movement!


In this episode, we cover:


  • The improvements we’re seeing with our cows during branding season and what seems to be working well for them
  • My first experience with volunteering and attending the Cattlemen's Ball of Nebraska + other fun events I’ve enjoyed being a part of recently
  • All of the extra ‘stuff’ happening this time of year with ranching + conditions that can positively and negatively affect all of it
  • The validation piece that really comes into play with both cows and humans

Boundaries Are KindIn today's episode, I’m talking about something that's vital regarding communication, relationships, and good movement; it’s also something that gets overlooked, and just gets a bad rap sometimes. Yep, I’m talking about boundaries! This was on my mind after a recent conversation I had with a friend; we were talking about the infamous, all too common theme of mom guilt. It can really eat us alive (I’ve totally felt it), and I know sooo many of us struggle with this!

As humans, we easily fall into feelings of guilt when we’re not doing what others are asking from us; we feel like we’re failing when we can’t do everything for everyone else. In today’s episode, I share why boundaries are kind, and (contrary to popular belief), are one of THE kindest, most generous actions you can show towards others!


In this episode, we cover:

  • Why setting and holding boundaries is actually one of the kindest things you can do for others
  • Why boundaries are like fences, and not actually rules for other people (contrary to popular belief)
  • Understanding that your boundaries can change over time, depending on what you’re experiencing in your current season of life

What I Learned About Human Communication From the Cows That Got OutWe had a pretty memorable experience that happened during our recent calving season (we were several brandings deep into the season of spring work at the time of this recording). During this particular branding, some of the panels opened up, and quite a few remaining calves (along with a couple of cows) got loose, running out into the pasture. I made some observations that seemed to work really well for the cattle (and the people who were able to get the cattle back to the pen) during this time, so I wanted to discuss how they relate to human interactions as well.

All of these ‘lessons’ carry over to our interactions with other humans in our day to day lives. None of us are going to make good decisions, or even function well, if we’re in a state of distress and chaos. It’s vital that we give ourselves and those around us the space we need, and be crystal clear on where we’re heading. We can’t expect our loved ones, co-workers, etc., to be mind readers, and always know what we’re planning for next. Human communication affects so many parts of our lives; it’s a super important skill that we must continue building!


In this episode, we cover:

  • Remaining calm and not getting super stressed during high-stress interactions
  • Giving others plenty of space (without added pressure) to make good decisions
  • Having clarity on where you’re headed + setting and providing clear expectations for others so they know as well

Embracing the Slow Burn with Thea LarsenThea is a working ranch wife and mom to two little cowboys, and the founder and host of all things Cowgirls Over Coffee. She’s on a mission to help women quit ‘white knuckling it’ through their days, and navigate a life that can get a little Western.

It’s easy to get caught up in feeling like you have to go, go, go and do #allthethings all the time, but if you really think about it, that’s not possible, and it’s NOT how we were meant to live. Life is a journey, not a destination; your growth and ‘inner work’ is never completely done, which is actually a beautiful thing. This was such a fun conversation with Thea, and she shared so much relatable wisdom. I hope it reminds you about the value that comes from good movement, and embracing the slow burn in your everyday life!


In this episode, we cover:

  • The major identity shift and whirlwind journey Thea experienced with marriage, career changes, and having children + how this led her to create Cowgirls Over Coffee
  • Choosing to embrace the chaos instead of embracing mediocrity + believing that you can have it all, once you understand what YOU specific ‘all’ is in your life
  • Why you have to continually pour into yourself and do the not so ‘fun’ or ‘flashy’ things, in order to live a fulfilling life you’re actually excited about
  • Fostering joy in the ‘slow burn’, everyday things, instead of staying in that instant gratification, Amazon prime mindset our society is so accustomed to
  • Why good movement should be flexible, purposeful, and bring more ease into your life vs. keeping you ‘stuck’ and stopped up

What Happens When Honest Questions Are Met with Resistance?Today I want to touch on one of my favorite tools you can use to improve communication - asking honest questions! This is something I like to discuss often on the podcast, because I believe that honest questions and compassionate curiosity are one of THE best ways we can improve overall communication in our society. However, I also know this process doesn’t always feel natural - both for the person asking, and for the person on the receiving end.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What to do when you ask honest questions and receive honest answers with pushback from others
  • How to get others (especially those from an older generation) to answer honest questions in the ‘heat of the moment’, and/or when you really need answers
  • The importance of modeling the behaviors you want to to see from others

Spoiler Alert - There's Nothing Wrong with Talking About How We Really AreIn today’s episode, I discuss why there’s nothing wrong with talking about how we really are. Sometimes...things just SUCK. We have to be able to acknowledge our feelings, and normalize sharing honest answers when someone asks us how we’re doing. We shouldn’t feel like we need to sugarcoat our responses in order to appear like we have it all together - who is that actually helping anyway?!

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why there’s nothing wrong with admitting that things are hard, and just kind of ‘suck’ sometimes
  • Normalizing asking honest questions AND seeking honest answers, instead of simply asking as a nicety in passing
  • Why suppressed emotions are actually like mold + what to do when we experience this

It’s also been one year since my dad passed away, and in all honesty, I am TIRED. Yeah...you could say I’m feeling kind of ‘meh’ about life right now. I know we all experience busy, chaotic, and quite frankly, draining times like these, so I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to share some simple ways of how I’m still prioritizing myself along the way.

No matter where you are, I want you to remember that we’re all HUMAN, and it’s important to find simple, everyday things that can help you prioritize yourself and your well-being along the way. After all, good movement, communication, and health and wellness are not a destination, friend; we’re all just learning and adjusting along the way!


In this episode, we cover:

  • My experience with regular healing sessions over the last year + what I’ve learned about myself during this process
  • My relationship with running + how the ‘inner work’ I’ve done recently has shown me just how much it’s impacting my mental and emotional well-being
  • How I’m spending regular time in the Word and making this an important part of my morning routine

We’ve been practicing low stress stockmanship for almost two decades; it’s rare that we have to reach out to others for support, but in this case, we knew that was the best option for us to move forward. In today’s episode, Tom and I discuss more about why we should normalize asking questions, even though it feels difficult to do so in our society. Fortunately, Tom and I have wonderful mentors who are very well versed in low stress stockmanship. While their advice was helpful, their validation and support letting us know we weren’t alone with our ‘challenging’ cows was even MORE beneficial for us in that moment.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Our recent situation of struggling to get a few select heavy cows to enter a gate where they needed to go + the variety of emotions that came with this ordeal
  • Why we decided to reach out to our mentors for support + the feedback we received
  • Why it feels so hard to ask for questions in our society + why we really need to normalize doing so

How We Prepare for Busy SeasonsIn today’s episode, Tom and I discuss how we prepare for busy seasons, and really, how we continue practicing open communication during calving season. 

We bounced around with several different topics in this episode, from putting out fires (literally), to moving cows, and communicating with each other through it all. Ultimately, we want to remind you HOW essential good, quality communication is - during busy seasons, slow seasons, and every season in between!

In this episode, we cover:

  • A recent, high-stress situation dealing with 2 fires close to where we live
  • Ways that we stay in communication with everything going on during calving season
  • What calving season has looked like for us regarding communication, preparation, method, etc. so far
  • Why we tend to communicate more often during calving season
  • Creating a shared note that can be sent to others you’re working with + doing a daily debriefing with each other after taking care of the cows
  • The importance of gaining your cows’ trust so you can achieve good movement + also understanding that cows will feel and feed off your energy

What is the Purpose of Emotions?While I talked about how we typically approach emotions in rural America in episode 25, I didn’t get into what emotions are, or what their specific purpose is. In today’s episode, I talk about the purpose of emotions, and why they matter much more than we may think. I’m sharing my thoughts on the key connection between emotions and communication, what various types of emotions are trying to communicate and the needs they represent, and even how a Feelings Wheel can support you with identifying and processing specific emotions.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What emotions really are + the limbic system’s role with emotions
  • The important connection regarding emotions and communication
  • Examples of emotions and what they’re trying to communicate + what needs they represent
  • How a Feelings Wheel can help you better specify and process your emotions, instead of shove them down

The 'Thick Skin' Myth and How We View Emotions in Rural AmericaFor way too long, we’ve been taught that emoting is ‘bad’, and having ‘thick skin’ is the best way to show strength. In today’s episode, I’m sharing more about the ‘thick skin’ myth, and how we view emotions in rural America. I’m discussing more about what it really means for our health and well-being when we’re constantly repressing and numbing our emotions, the recent, alarming suicide rates in the farming and ag space, how we can actually go about changing the status quo in our communication and relationships in rural America, and more.

In this episode, we cover:


  • The difference between someone who is a ‘snowflake’ and someone who has ‘thick skin’
  • What it really means for ourselves and our overall health when we’re continually repressing and numbing our emotions + recent suicide rates in agriculture
  • Why it’s time to change the status quo in how we approach emotions, communication, and relationships in rural America + steps to actually do this
  • A simple practice to help you get quicker and better at feeling your emotions

In today’s episode, we share about how to get others to do the personal growth work, and why you really can’t get attached to the results (no matter what they decide to do). We’re talking about the equilibrium dynamic in relationships and why people really do learn from watching what you’re doing, how the personal growth you’re doing will not only improve yourself, but also the relationships with your kids, breaking generational cycles, using the Enneagram to bring more awareness to your emotions, and more.


In this episode, we cover:


  • Understanding you can’t really ‘make’ others do the personal growth, and you can’t get attached to the outcome (no matter what they end up doing)
  • The equilibrium in relationships + why people really do learn through imitation
  • How working on yourself can improve relationships with your kids + truly break generational cycles
  • How the Enneagram can be a powerful tool to educate and bring awareness to your emotions
  • Finding a therapist and/or someone who understands your particular struggles, lifestyle, etc.

Behaviors Are a Clue but Not the Whole StoryI’ve got a fun episode for you today, and it’s a little different than any of the others up to this point. It’s actually one of the lessons available inside the Good Movement Collective, and it’s all about motivations and behaviors! I believe that we're all shaped by our upbringings, experiences, etc., and there's always a reason WHY people behave and believe the way that they do.

In this episode, we cover:


  • The difference between motivations and behaviors
  • How motivations and behaviors are really connected
  • Understanding that you can’t determine your Enneagram type based solely off of behaviors
  • Deciding if you will continue to allow certain behaviors to run your life (even when they aren’t serving you), or choose to change your behaviors in order to yield a better result
  • Digging into what your core motivation really is, and how it’s showing up in your life

Introducing the Good Movement CollectiveI’ve lived in rural America my whole life, and I understand the unique dynamic that rural living brings to relationships. I've also found that the stockmanship principle of good movement applies not only to our interactions with livestock, but also to the interactions with our fellow humans. In today’s episode, I share more about the Good Movement Collective - specifically, why I saw a need to create this program in the first place, what you will learn and gain from this program, and how the content, teaching, support, etc., will be delivered to you.

While I know my relationships are far from perfect, I’ve also learned that God lays things on my heart for a reason, and he continues to send me signs until I take action (like..I need ALL the signs). After many conversations with other rural women, I saw the need to provide support in a space that would allow them to break cycles, learn, and grow in any/all of their relationships. If you’re ready to break free from the overwhelm that comes with unresolved emotions, unspoken thoughts, and experience a newfound sense of peace and joy in your life, I would love nothing more than to have you join the Good Movement Collective!


In this episode, we cover:


  • Why I decided to create the Good Movement Collective
  • What you can expect and gain from the Good Movement Collective
  • The type of content and how it will be delivered to you + personalized guidance, support, and more from me

An Unpopular Opinion - I Don't Find the Humor Worth the HarmThe way we’re currently doing things in rural America is not only hurting our relationships, but our mental health too, and it’s only going to continue if something doesn’t change. In today’s episode, I share more about focusing on self-awareness and using the Enneagram as a supportive tool to do so, why we need to start ‘filling in the blanks’ with honest questions vs. fictional stories we create in our heads, and the framework that connects self-awareness, social awareness, and communication.

 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Working to improve the communication breakdown that typically happens in the agricultural sector, instead of making jokes and celebrating it online
  • Focusing on self-awareness and how our actions affect others + using the Enneagram as a tool to do so
  • How social awareness comes into play when we start observing other people’s behaviors + the connection with communication breakdown
  • Choosing to ‘fill in the blanks’ with honest questions, instead of creating fictional stories and scenarios in our heads

Talking Curiosity and Kindness with My Mother In-LawI have a special episode to share with you today - a conversation that is with none other than my wonderful mother-in-law, Kathy! Kathy and I have quite a bit in common - we’re both stubborn and are deep thinkers (we are the same Enneagram type after all, which is pretty cool). Kathy has had a variety of careers over the years, and she’s also been drawing good movement for quite some time, so I’m excited for you to hear her unique perspective.

Curiosity and kindness may not be super flashy things, but they really do matter in the interactions we have with other people. I always learn when I get to talk with Kathy, and this conversation was no different - I know you’ll enjoy learning from her too!

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Approaching everyone with respect by taking the time to really listen to them + how that builds rapport over time
  • Choosing curiosity and not being afraid to continue asking questions
  • The stereotypes Kathy experienced with being from California + being consistent and subtle when connecting with others
  • Why extending empathy and practicing self-awareness really go a long way
  • The impact good movement had on Tom from a young age, and how that’s evolved over time
  • A big misconception surrounding good movement
  • Why context plays a huge role in our interactions
  • Breaking the cycle of rude with something kind instead
  • Why being older doesn’t automatically equal having wisdom

Leading by Example with Jessie JarvisI’m honored to have Jessie Jarvis on the podcast today! Jessie has a true passion for the ag and western industries, which led her to create her company, Of The West, a job platform built specifically to connect hundreds of employers and job seekers in these industries. We talk all about some of the key communication challenges that arise (not only in the ag and western spaces, but everywhere in our society), choosing to show up and BE the actual change you want to see in the world, why a strong work ethic, communication skills, and other soft skills matter more than you think, and more.

Jessie Jarvis is a wife, mother, third-generation rancher, and Founder of Of The West. Jessie was born and raised on her family’s cattle ranch in Southern Idaho, which at an early age, instilled in her the importance of a strong work ethic, and a deep appreciation for the American West. In addition to her lifelong involvement raising cattle, Jessie has had over a decade’s worth of experience in print and digital media, both writing for and producing various agriculture and western fashion publications, as well as freelancing in ag and western communications. Jessie's passion for ag + western industries is unmatched, and is what led her to create Of The West, a job platform built specifically for the two industries. Since its launch in 2021, Of The West has helped connect hundreds of employers and job seekers, partnered with cornerstone organizations in the industry, and is leading the charge in cultivating the future of the agriculture + western industries. 

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Some of the major communication challenges we face in our world today when working closely (and simply interacting) with others
  • Understanding both sides of the common phrase ‘this is the way we’ve always done it’ in the ag and western spaces
  • Choosing to actually BE more of the change that you want in the world
  • The variety of resources Of The West offers employers, employees, and contractors
  • Why having a good work ethic, communication habits, and other valuable soft skills go a lot farther than you think
  • The benefits that come from consistently investing in yourself with education, skills, knowledge, etc.
  • The importance of self-awareness (and actually implementing it) + taking a ‘pause’ before trying a different approach with what you’re doing

]]>I’m honored to have Jessie Jarvis on the podcast today! Jessie has a true passion for the ag and western industries, which led her to create her company, Of The West, a job platform built specifically to connect hundreds of employers and job seekers in these industries. We talk all about some of the key communication challenges that arise (not only in the ag and western spaces, but everywhere in our society), choosing to show up and BE the actual change you want to see in the world, why a strong work ethic, communication skills, and other soft skills matter more than you think, and more.

Facing Life's Winter SeasonsI know so many of us can resonate with the ups and downs in life, and especially, those challenging ‘winter’ seasons that are bound to happen. In this episode, I talk more about how the seasons of our lives usually match nature’s seasons, the crisp clarity and opportunity that can come from those cold, dark winters we experience in our lives, how to actually face your winters head-on, and more.

 

In this episode, we cover:

  • How the seasons of our lives tend to mimic nature’s seasons
  • The clarity and opportunity that can still arise from the cold and dark ‘winters’ we experience in our own lives
  • Why we must face our personal winters head-on
  • Some of my own tried and true ways that have helped me get through my own ‘winters’

In today’s episode, we’re talking all about the time we got into a fight right after I posted on social media that working cattle with your spouse does NOT have to end in a fight. At first..I felt like a big ‘ol hypocrite after that one. However, I remembered that this occurrence was not the rule for us - it was the exception. 

We’re sharing about what actually started this particular fight, how we made the time and effort to talk and work through this disagreement (and why it’s so important to consistently do this), the value in setting not only your cattle up for success, but you and your partner as well. Hopefully sharing our experience in this way will remind you that repairing after a fight is far more important than the actual slip-up itself!

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • What actually started (and led to) this particular fight
  • The importance of taking the time to talk and work through disagreements
  • Why Tom and I still have fights and disagreements sometimes, even after being well-practiced in the Good Movement principle
  • The value in setting not only cattle up for success, but you and your partner too
  • The powerful concept of ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’, and how this can vary from person to person

Slow is Smooth Smooth is FastToward the end of 2023, I set three main intentions for what was left of the year - listen to Daily Audio Bible and have quiet time daily, be more present with my husband and kids and less in my head, and open the doors for my 1:1 Good Movement Coaching Membership. However, I ended up adding a fourth intention… unintentionally. 

This got me thinking about a valuable concept we use in stockmanship, which is ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’. In this episode, I talk more about how this phrase applies to both livestock and humans (and how it differs between us), understanding that the hills we have to climb in life don’t necessarily have to be the hardest or most painful, and what slowing down can actually look like in our lives.

I’ve personally learned that slowing down doesn’t mean we’re taking the easy way out, or keeping us from where we want to go. Instead, taking the opportunity to truly slow down, gain the knowledge we need, and be more intentional about moving forward can have the greatest benefit. I hope this episode encourages you to slow down and see what YOUR best path ahead is!

 

In this episode, we cover:

  • My decision to start a fourth intention for the end of 2023, and what that’s looked like so far
  • Understanding that we all have hills we have to climb in life, while also knowing there is another way around
  • How the concept of ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’ applies to both livestock and humans
  • What slowing down can look like in your life + taking the opportunity to actually do so
  • Why the ‘smooth is fast’ part won’t be as immediately apparent in your interactions and day-to-day life

Choose Curiosity Over CriticismWhen it comes to miscommunication and frustration that happens among us as humans, I believe so much of it comes from not having the ‘whole story’ (even though most of the time, we think we do). In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about handling judgment and criticism from others (I have a personal experience of my own to share), why the concept of choosing curiosity over criticism doesn’t only apply to others, and more.

I’ve learned that open-ended, honest questions can truly allow you to move forward with knowledge and understanding, which greatly helps when it comes to embarrassment, frustration, and miscommunication - especially in relationships. Not being afraid to ask questions, and in return, gain the knowledge and understanding you need, will no doubt positively impact your relationships. I hope this episode encourages you to choose curiosity over criticism when it comes to yourself, and those in the world around you!

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • My own, personal experience dealing with judgment and criticism from others
  • The power of asking honest questions
  • Why the concept of curiosity over criticism can apply to yourself too

We’re talking about Tom’s initial thoughts on the Enneagram and how that’s changed over time, the value in knowing YOUR specific type + the other types, digging into self-awareness in order to understand how you impact those around you, the stigma around mental health in agriculture, and more.

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Tom’s initial thoughts on the Enneagram
  • What eventually led Tom to finding value in and using the Enneagram
  • How the Enneagram positively impacted Tom’s work and management approach + the start of the good movement trainings

  • The importance of exploring self-awareness and understanding how you can affect other people 
  • How the Enneagram can help decrease generational communication gaps + help you truly understand that not everyone views the world in the same way
  • Why mental health is such a huge deal in agriculture + why it’s usually harder to ask for/get help when you’re in agriculture
  • Applying the good movement principle to both people and animals + using the Enneagram to dramatically improve communication with those around you

Ripple Effects with Emily ReuschelIn today’s episode I’m very excited to have my good friend, Emily Reuschel, on the podcast! We talk about how life-changing personal growth can be, ripple effects and the connection to drawing good movement, the power of self-awareness, not stressing about other people’s opinions and expectations of you, and more.

Emily Reuschel is a farmer’s wife, mom of three, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, host of the Gather in Growth podcast, and the leader of retreats and masterminds that propel rural women toward their truest, most-aligned goals and priorities.

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Emily’s story of embarking on a personal growth journey, which ultimately led her to completely change and pivot her career to entrepreneurship
  • How self-awareness really impacted Emily and led her to intentionality, the Enneagram, addressing trauma, and more in her life
  • Understanding that it is NOT your responsibility to manage other people’s emotional expectations of you + why people respond to in the ways that they do
  • Why it’s easier to be hateful than face your own insecurities
  • How Emily helps women (especially rural women) through her YouDoYou challenges, masterminds, and retreats

Grief and What I Know So FarToday’s episode is going to be a little more of a somber one, but it’s something I feel very strongly about, and it’s important to share with you. I want to talk about grief, because seven months ago today, I was thrust firsthand into learning about it when my dad suddenly passed away. I’ll also be covering more about how our society views grief and closure, what it looks like for joy and grief to co-exist, helpful things you should (and should not) say to someone who is grieving, and more.

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • The incredible 2023 Enneagram Cohort I was a part of, and how it helped me tremendously when I experienced the sudden passing of my dad earlier this year
  • Why our society doesn’t know how to grieve, and why closure is just a myth
  • How joy and grief can co-exist + a helpful concept that shows our growth when it comes to grief
  • Things you should NOT say to someone who is grieving
  • Helpful things you CAN say to someone who is grieving + phrases that should be used with caution
  • Kind and helpful things you can DO for people in grief situations

Rethinking Mental Health with Ashley MachadoIn today’s episode I have my good friend, Ashley Machado, on the podcast! She’s truly been a wealth of knowledge for me when it comes to my own mental health, and she has so much goodness and wisdom to share. We’re talking more about curiosity and gaining self-awareness when it comes to mental health, how mental health plays a big role when it comes to our relationships and how we communicate with others, what a ‘mental health toolbox’ is and how we can use it, and more.

Ashley Machado is a Tedx speaker and has been selected as a 2023 FFA Change Maker. She is rethinking the way we support Mental health in the food and ag space. She specializes in tangible tools and simple strategies through mental health trainings for ag families and businesses alike. Ashley grew up in the dairy industry and now farms and ranches with her family in California's central valley. She has her BA in human development and masters in social work with an emphasis in clinical mental health. Her goal is for everyone in the ag industry and rural America to have the tools they need in their mental health toolbox to operate and live life fully.

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Ashley’s curiosity that she’s had from a young age, and how that eventually led her to looking for (and then creating) resources for mental health support
  • What the phrase ‘good movement draws good movement’ meant to Ashley when she initially heard it
  • Simple steps you can take to work on and start improving your mental health
  • How mental health can really affect your relationships and communication with the people in your life
  • What a ‘mental health toolbox’ actually is + Ashley’s favorite tool you can start implementing today
  • The variety of ways that Ashley works with individuals and businesses who need resources to support mental health

Fostering Joy in the EverydayToday’s episode is going to be all about gratitude, because it’s Thanksgiving week in the United States! While it’s amazing to practice gratitude during the month of November, I believe it’s something that is important to do year-round. I’m excited to talk about the two main types of ‘fuel’ the brain runs on (it’s truly fascinating to me how God designed our human brains), what it can look like to have a gratitude practice and joy journal, simple steps for increasing joy in your everyday life, and more.

 

I recently learned that joy is a supra emotion (meaning it connects with other emotions at the same time) - it’s not just synonymous with happiness like I used to think. Joy is contagious, it’s VERY much needed, and it draws good movement. This is a short and sweet episode, but I hope it’s valuable for you as you focus on fostering joy during your holiday gatherings, and throughout your entire year!

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • The two types of ‘fuel’ our brains run on
  • Creating a gratitude practice and starting a joy journal
  • Simple steps to increasing joy + the impact of seeing joy on other peoples’ faces

How I Got Here – the Evolution of Good MovementToday’s episode is going to be more of a story-centered one for you, and it’s definitely a good one! I’m excited to share more about how I got to where I am today - essentially, the evolution of Good Movement. I’m talking more about my upbringing in agriculture’s impact on me, what it looked like for me to step away from the career I knew and was comfortable with, why I decided to finally share more about the principles of Good Movement with others, and all of the life that happened in between.

I feel like I’ve always been living the dream (and I don’t mean that sarcastically), but my dreams have changed and evolved as I’ve gone through different seasons in life. I’ve experienced a LOT over the last few years, but ultimately, I know my dream is to help humans truly understand and communicate with their fellow humans. It’s been fun to see all of the pieces of the puzzle come together, and I’m excited for what’s ahead too!

 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • My story of growing up in agriculture, and its pivotal part in not only my life, but my family’s as well
  • An important lesson learned about low stress cattle handling and stockmanship I was able to implement in my career and life
  • The unexpected opportunity for me to step away from the feedyard and become a stay at home mom and ranch hand
  • The start of my blog, Faith, Family, and Beef + my decision to start sharing more about the principles of Good Movement
  • My introduction to the Enneagram and how I began to notice that it could be a powerful catalyst for Good Movement
  • Finally feeling like I was ‘in my element’ as I stepped into sharing, coaching, and even leading trainings about Good Movement 
  • Taking a hiatus after experiencing a major loss in my life, to eventually finding my way back and drawing good movement again

It Starts with Self-AwarenessI’ve been sharing about good movement on social media for a while now and one of the most common questions I get is: “How do I learn good movement?” It’s a good question and it's also a hard question to answer because there isn’t a step-by-step guide to good movement. In today’s episode, I’m going to share one of the pieces to learning good movement and that is self-awareness. 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Self-awareness needs to come first because it directly affects how others react to us
  • Learning yourself, your tendencies, and being aware of how those impact those around you
  • How it can feel easier and harmless to live blissfully unaware, but ultimately is hurting ourselves and those closest to us
  • Tools to expedite self-awareness such as observation and the Enneagram

What Is Good Movement?Welcome to the first episode of Good Movement Draws Good Movement! I’m so excited to have this podcast out into the world and to have you listening in today. Thank you for being here!

Today I’m sharing what exactly good movement means and my story of taking this concept from not just cattle, but applying it to human interactions as well. What if we could all move forward in good movement? Reduce meaningless stress, improve our health, and effectively and effortlessly communicate with others. 

The principle is simple, but not easy. You can’t force good movement. So that’s what this podcast is for; to learn how we can all draw good movement in our relationships, interactions, and lives and make the world a better place. 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Explanation of the concept of “good movement” in stockmanship
  • The application of good movement in human relationships and communication
  • The importance of understanding behavior and effective communication to foster positive interactions with others 
  • How kindness and constructive conversation makes MORE kindness and constructive conversation happen
  • The goal of growing relationally through awareness, understanding, and handling conflict in a positive way

It’s this thing that happens when we ask a small group of cattle, maybe a cow, or a pair to move out in a certain direction and their movement draws the whole herd into moving in the same direction.

Good movement happens when we approach the cattle with a positive attitude, read and really listen to what they’re telling us, and communicate accordingly. 

We don’t approach the aware, flighty cattle the same as we do the tame, docile cattle. We adjust ourselves, our energy, and approach, and communicate with each differently.

These adjustments help us effectively draw good movement from each, which then draws good movement from the herd. But it starts with us.

The same is true for humans. Good movement starts with us.

Welcome to Good Movement Draws Good Movement, the podcast where farmers, ranchers, and rural folks can grow relationally through awareness, understanding, and effective communication.

Hey, it’s me - T. I’m your host, and I, along with my guests, will be covering topics related to drawing good movement - things like self and social awareness, brain science, positive psychology, extending grace, and so much more. 

We’ll share tools that can help you understand why you are the way you are, why others are the way they are, and how you can use that to step out of self-told lies with grace and compassion to draw good movement in conversations, relationships, and life in rural America.
