Why is it that even when we know what we should do … when we have the plans, the goals, and even the desire, that we still don't follow through? In this honest conversation, Thea Larsen sits down with her good friend and wellness expert Kelly Altschwager of Western Workouts to unpack the layers behind discipline, consistency, and what actually holds women back in the messy middle of growth, ambition, and identity.This episode is for the woman who's already doing the work, but still feels stuck. Who's exhausted by the cycle of overthinking, overcommitting, and under-recovering. Who wants to move forward, but just can't seem to start. If you're navigating fatigue, lack of follow-through, and the tension between what you want to do and what you actually have capacity to do… this one's for you.In this episode, we explore:Why discipline often isn't the starting point (and what comes before it).How capacity, nervous system regulation, and sleep hygiene affect your ability to follow through.What it really means to be consistent, and why you need rest as much as you need action.Why it's not self-sabotage, but often self-protection (and how to tell the difference).The problem with waiting for motivation, and how to build momentum by starting smaller.The difference between physical exhaustion and emotional depletion, and why it even matters.Why personal planning systems need to be customized, flexible, and rooted in self-awareness.Perfect for you if:You're feeling overwhelmed by competing roles (motherhood, business, marriage, friendship).You're craving structure but feel depleted, overstimulated, or burnt out.You're tired of generic wellness advice and need something that actually fits your life.You want strategic, sustainable tools for habit-building, wellness, and productivity, that won't end in burnout.Resources Mentioned:Learn more about Western WorkoutsExplore our full library of planning tools, frameworks, and member resources at cowgirlsovercoffee.comLet's Keep the Conversation GoingTake a screenshot of this episode and tag @cowgirlsovercoffee and @westernworkouts with your biggest takeaway or breakthrough.

Today's conversation is actually a throwback that we felt needed a quick replay before fully shifting into the holiday season. I'm sitting down with Meg Scales to dive into the tough yet essential topic of self-prioritization in high-demand lifestyles. Whether you're balancing ranch life, a growing business, a family, or (most likely!) all of the above - you know that "putting yourself first" isn't as easy as it sounds.In this episode, Meg and I break down what prioritizing yourself really looks like in the midst of chaos, stress, and competing demands. Together, we get honest about the cost of self-care and how to shift from burnout to balance. You'll hear practical strategies for managing time, avoiding overwhelm, and why the "empty cup" analogy doesn't even scratch the surface.We also dig into the hard questions: What are you willing to give up? What's holding you back from prioritizing yourself? And how do you manage the constant pressure to "do it all" without losing yourself in the process? This episode is packed with raw honesty, tough love, and insights that will have you rethinking how you manage your day-to-day.If you've ever felt like you're drowning in responsibilities, this conversation is for you.Key Takeaways:Why self-prioritization isn't just about “me time” but about reducing stress and aligning with your valuesHow to break down the overwhelm and get real about what's truly taking up your mental and emotional bandwidthThe power of simple conversations and mindset shifts to reclaim your time and capacityWhy figuring it out and working it out are two different things—and how to move from awareness to action If this episode resonates with you, make sure to subscribe, rate, and leave a review.

In this episode of Cowgirls Over Coffee, Lana Wilkes and I are tackling the subject of fear, not with a specific one-size-fits-all strategy to overcome it, but with an open conversation that invites reflection. As we dive into the different ways fear shows up in life, from the rational (like rattlesnakes) to the intangible (fear of failure), we explore how fear informs our actions, beliefs, and even our limiting behaviors.This episode isn't intended to provide you with a 5-step plan to crush your fears; it's about starting the conversation. We encourage you to think deeply about what's beneath your fears, how fear impacts your ability to make decisions, and how understanding fear is often the next step toward progress.Key Takeaways:Fear as information and how to recognize what your fears are really telling youWhy the "feel the fear and do it anyway" advice might be skipping an important stepHow small, consistent actions can help unravel bigger fearsRecognizing fear's impact on limiting beliefs and decision-makingWhy addressing fear doesn't mean eliminating it but learning how to move with itThis conversation is perfect for anyone who feels stuck or limited by fear but isn't looking for easy answers. Instead, you'll leave with the motivation to reflect on your own fears, how they show up, and what they might be telling you about the next step forward.If this episode resonates with you, make sure to subscribe, rate, and leave a review.

In this episode of Cowgirls Over Coffee, I have a no-BS conversation with Amanda Radke - a rancher, mother of four, and independent businesswoman - about the real challenges of balancing family, business, and life on the ranch. This isn't your basic chat about finding balance; it's a raw, unfiltered look at what it takes to juggle multiple roles without losing your sanity. Amanda shares how she manages her cattle business, fights for property rights, and stays present with her kids, all while navigating the constant demands of ranch life. We dig into the hard truth about why balance isn't about doing it all but about making intentional choices and understanding the cost of every 'yes' and 'no' in your life. Key Takeaways:Why it's crucial to show up for what matters, even when life feels overwhelmingHow to manage competing priorities without sacrificing what's importantThe power of leaning into the messy, unpredictable seasons of life on the ranchThoughts on staying engaged in local issues and making your voice heardTips on how to integrate family, work, and personal growth - without burning outIf this episode resonates with you, make sure to subscribe, rate, and leave a review.

In this episode of Cowgirls Over Coffee, we're having an honest conversation about a topic every high-achieving woman needs to tackle: discipline. We all know that feeling of knowing exactly what you need to do but struggling to get it done or being so disciplined that it's actually working against you. Today, we're stripping back the layers and getting curious about what discipline truly means, why it's not about being perfect, and how you can build it as a skill rather than treating it like a fixed part of your identity.Together with Meg Scales, we break down the myths around discipline, willpower, and focus. We explore why hyper-discipline can be just as damaging as lacking discipline altogether and why curiosity is your secret weapon in developing the self-awareness necessary to make meaningful progress. If you've ever found yourself feeling burnt out, stuck in a cycle of inconsistency, or struggling to figure out why you're not reaching your goals, this conversation is exactly what you need.Key Takeaways:The reality of discipline: It's a skill you can build, not something you're either born with or withoutWhy being “overly disciplined” can sabotage your success and how to strike a healthy balanceHow to identify and plug the energy leaks in your life that are holding you backThe role of curiosity and self-compassion in creating discipline that supports your goalsPractical strategies to develop adaptable discipline so you can finally move forward with intention and clarityWhether you're someone who prides yourself on being disciplined or you're struggling to find any consistency at all, this conversation is packed with actionable insights, practical strategies, and raw reflections that will help you take charge of your next steps. It's time to stop letting discipline be a barrier (or an excuse!) and start using it as a tool to create the life you want.If this episode resonates with you, make sure to subscribe, rate, and leave a review.

I can't think of any better September discussion than to talk about meals in your fall routine. In today's episode, Kaylee Stevie joins me for a conversation about meal planning. I am personally not great at it, and I wanted to bring Kaylee on to help with tips for prepping and planning your meals.

In today's episode, I'm talking about the idea we have to figure it all out. While it's impossible to always figure everything out, I share some things I think I have figured out. I'll dive into how meaningful connections are, how cultivating consistency is key in life, and how important YOU are to you. Connection is your responsibility; how are you achieving connections in your life? I'm sharing a few studies about how keeping consistent routines helps to increase happiness. What is keeping you from being consistent? What is the fuel in your tank? What is motivating you? Taking care of yourself and focusing on yourself is important. Finding value in connection, consistency, and yourself will help you reach your goals and keep moving forward.

I hope August has been treating you kindly so far! In today's episode, I'm talking about something that is top-of-mind for me right now. I've dedicated the month of August to transitioning. For me and our methodology inside the membership, fall is a season of progress. September can be a time for burnout and checking in with yourself.This is an action-oriented episode today. We're taking inventory of our environments and collecting data so we can make the next best decision. I'll guide you through an exercise that asks you to list ten spaces you spend the most time in. Then, you'll choose the top three that have the biggest impact on your time and list what you do in these spaces and how each space makes you feel. Next, you'll map out what you need to do to feel how you'd like and schedule a specific time on your calendar to make the necessary changes to reach that goal. We're cleaning up your environments to help you keep reaching goals with ease while feeling supported. As a reminder, enrollment for Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership ends today, August 19th.

Today's conversation is fitting as it will help us all as we go into a new season. My friend Lexi Wright is here to talk about balancing goals in business, farming, and family. Lexi has her own marketing agency, Back Pocket Social, a podcast called Farming on Purpose, and a new farm with a long list of needed projects. Lexi dives into the strategies that have changed her mindset on goal planning and execution. By cutting time into three sections, she has learned how to restructure and refocus to reach the goals that really matter and let go of the shame of when the little things don't get done. This method of goal planning alleviates setting yourself up for failure and gives the things you focus on purpose. Farming on Purpose is a podcast that brings together success stories from family farms and ranches and addresses industry trends so you can implement what works best for your operation.Back Pocket Social is a marketing agency specializing in social media, email marketing, and advertising for growing brands focused on excellent customer journeys.Resources & Links:FREE Set the Tone WorkbookLearn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership CommunityJoin the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlistConnect with Thea and the community:Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffeeMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

On today's episode, I'm doing some reflection as we near the end of summer and look ahead to the next season. I'm sharing six lessons from this summer that have served me so well that I'm taking them into fall. Some of these things were intentionally cultivated, and some were unintentional, but the work I've done this summer on my foundations has me feeling so grounded and prepared to lean into what fall has to offer as I enter my season of progress.    Resources & Links: FREE Set the Tone Workbook Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee       Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Nobody panic, but we're almost through July! It's the perfect time for this powerful conversation I had with Dakota Dawn Johnson in today's episode. We're talking about navigating our own expectations, and I want to encourage you to have this same conversation with the people in your life. What are your expectations for yourself?   Dakota shares that while she's always thinking about cowboys, kids, cattle, etc., she has to remind herself that we all have different buckets we're navigating. She shares a visual of Dusti Crain-Dickerson while Roman Riding and how she's in control and has the reins. So do we. We can change direction or expectations at any time.    We talk about how saying “no” isn't necessarily a hard no, but rather, you're finding the right “yes” that fits with the season of life you're in right now. Dakota shares a personal and recent story that shows how she went from responding “yes” on the spot to giving herself the space to be more intentional with her time. You can learn to say “no” to something but “yes” in other ways.    Getting clear on your priorities so you know what the best things to say “no” and “yes” to are is important and will always be a work in progress for us all. When you choose to change expectations, different opportunities can arise.   Resources & Links: The Best Yes: Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands by Lysa Terkeurst Episode 34: You Think You Know, But You Have No Idea Dusti Crain-Dickerson FREE Set the Tone Workbook Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Dakota Dawn Johnson: Follow on Instagram @dakotadawnjohnson Visit her website Listen to the Cowgirl Confessions Podcast   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee       Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Meg Scales is back for a conversation filled with life updates ranging from hay season and summer chaos to vulnerability about today's topic. This episode is the next step in the conversation about quitting that we had a few weeks ago on the podcast. We know how we feel about quitting; the next questions are: What do success and accomplishment mean to us? And how have they changed in different seasons of life?   Looking back at our younger years, we had different ideas, goals, and capacities of what accomplishment and success looked like, but they have shifted and grown as we have done the same. As we check in with ourselves, we don't need to move forward with old narratives; everything can pivot as we experience more in life.    Meg shares how academic drive was always a marker of success to her, but it's now shifted to a curiosity for knowledge that helps her continue to grow. I share how, in a past season of life, being a CEO by 29 meant success. My definition of success was informed by my deep need for validation. Now, success means I want to feel contentment in the pursuit instead of assuming that the contentment will come from attainment.   What does success look like to you? Let's use this conversation to inspire each other!   Resources & Links: FREE Set the Tone Workbook Episode 32: How Do You Feel About Quitting?

We talk a lot about doing more of what matters in our planning. We look at what we have the capacity for, and we improve the way we do things. But what we omit during planning is looking at the things not getting done. Today's episode is about finding peace with the things we aren't doing. It's just as important to recognize them as the things we are getting done.    I'll cover the two ways we don't get things done: on purpose and off purpose. On purpose is what we are choosing not to do. That entails intentionality and deliberate choices. Off purpose is when those things slip through the cracks, get buried, or we simply don't have the time or capacity to complete them.    I encourage you to start making more margin and space to do what matters, which means we can look at what we haven't gotten done with some grace and perspective to make peace with it all. It doesn't mean we are good with not getting things done; it just means we're more present and grounded in the things we are getting done.    Our FREE Set the Tone Workbook can help you navigate the practice of spending time on what matters. It is linked below! Take a look at everything on your plate and spend time doing, delegating, deferring, or dismissing.   Resources & Links: FREE Set the Tone Workbook Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee       Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Happy July! I love the first week of July, and it has me thinking more about using this summer season for priming, taking care of ourselves, being deliberate, and being present. I want us to take this season to set ourselves up for success. One reason I believe we all hit roadblocks in being successful is that we don't take the time to really look at ourselves, at what we're doing, and take inventory of what's going on in our lives.    In this episode, I'm sharing tips and prompts to get you focused on figuring out who you are and determining if everything you're doing in your life aligns with who you are. Taking this deep dive into assessing your life is something you can develop into a daily practice. I want to encourage you to take this week to be super curious about yourself. Use the prompts I share to look at what you're doing daily, figure out why you are doing those things, and what really matters.   Our priorities compete for attention, and a lot of them are equally important. Let's figure out what energizes you, motivates you, drives you. This will set us up for success as we continue the backside of 2024. A tool to help you with just that is our Set the Tone workbook, link below!   Resources & Links: Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Summer Set-Up FREE Set the Tone Workbook Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Kelsey Larson Follow on Instagram @kelseybriannelarson Visit her website    Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee       Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Today's episode is a little different, but I know you'll enjoy it! As we are winding down June, I wanted to check in with you and make sure you're prioritizing the foundation of core care. While it can seem overwhelming to take care of yourself, I encourage you to choose just one thing to work on to improve your well-being. Breathwork is a great practice that will give you intentionality and presence.   In this episode, I'm sharing a recorded session with Kelsey Larson, a breathwork expert, held in our Cowgirls Over Coffee membership earlier this month. Kelsey teaches different techniques to use as you introduce your body, mind, and soul to breathwork. She shares ideas for both you and your children to help regulate the nervous system. I'm also talking about our Set the Tone workbook and how using it can help you be successful in the remainder of 2024.   Resources & Links: FREE Set the Tone Workbook Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Kelsey Larson Follow on Instagram @kelseybriannelarson Visit her website   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee       Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Are you ever laying in bed at night thinking you're ready to quit everything and burn it all down? In today's episode Meg and I are talking about the ways we quit on ourselves and in our lives. How do we know what to intentionally quit? What things are we quietly quitting? Why does the action of and even the word quitting make us so uncomfortable? This conversation includes all sides of quitting including that it's okay to not be okay with quitting. The name of the game is balance and today's episode goes in depth on aligning activities with priorities, checking in with yourself, and embracing the pivot so as to not quit on ourselves. Does quitting equate to failure? Join the conversation to hear our thoughts.    Resources & Links: FREE Set the Tone Workbook Episode 30: You Don't Have to Catch Up Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Meg Scales Follow in Instagram @meg.scales   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Meg and I are back to talk about how we want to go into this summer season with a new mindset. In today's episode we cover the importance of making a plan for your summer by setting deliberate intentions and realistic expectations. We want to alleviate the grief we can feel as summer slips away and we haven't accomplished what we had hoped. Meg shares her planning process: instead of looking at what everyone else needs this summer, asking herself what she needs and reverse engineering the plan from there. I share how my summer planning entails scheduling things I want to do in ways that are easier to get them accomplished. Join the conversation so your summer planning can include what is important to you, how you want to feel, and what experiences you want to curate for yourself. Let's squeeze all the sunshine and fun into our summer!   Resources & Links: FREE Set the Tone Workbook Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Meg Scales Follow in Instagram @meg.scales   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

In today's episode I wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with you about an epiphany I had that has alleviated stress and anxiety from my life. It's a simple strategy, but makes a big impact when we truly believe it: you don't have to catch up. Start where you're at and go from there; you don't have to back track. Think about the time and effort you'll save if you don't go backwards and instead dive in where you can and keep going forward. The thought of having to catch up can overwhelm and lead to no action. Taking action helps create momentum and provides clarity to keep you going. And when there are things in your backlog, you can then intentionally and deliberately create space in your calendar to complete what you can. This strategy is a game changer! Also in this episode, I'll share a few things to come for summer including the Summer Setup program starting June 3rd!   Resources & Links: Summer Setup Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Today our conversation dives deep into a strategy we teach in Cowgirls Over Coffee called “The Umbrella Focus”. Lana and I share how using this strategy allows us to manage our priorities that are aligned with how we're feeling and what is most important. The Umbrella Focus helps us prepare for what's coming by sorting things into priorities and objectives while alleviating the guilt and shame of things outside of the umbrella that purposefully won't get done right now. So many things derail us from feeling productive or meeting our expectations on long-term goals because we're not giving ourselves permission to prioritize different things at different times.  Imagine waking up at 2am and everything on your to-do list immediately floods your head … then, you close your eyes, lay your head back down and drift back to sleep. There's no self-doubt or doom spiral, because you are confident that your to-do list is aligned with both your daily demands and long-term ambitions, and tomorrow will take care of itself. Download our Set the Tone Workbook to get the exact steps you need to prioritize your tasks, protect your time & energy, and dial in your attention, so your to-do list gets what really matters done.   Resources & Links: FREE Set the Tone Workbook Learn more about Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community Join the Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership Community waitlist   Connect with Lana Wilkes Follow on Instagram @small.town.preachers.wife   Connect with Thea and the community: Follow on Instagram @thea.does.the.things and @cowgirlsovercoffee Follow on Facebook @cowgirlsovercoffee   Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss a convo!

Today we have Terryn Drieling, a rural relationship guide and founder of the Good Movement Collective, a coaching program and community for rural women looking for growth and guidance in confidence, self-awareness, and communication. Our ranching/rural lifestyle is unique but has specific challenges as our lives are so integrated with family, friends, and coworkers. That means communication can be an obstacle and something we've overlooked culturally and collectively. But it's the foundation of everything from your ranch operation to your marriage, so how do we get better at communication?   Terryn shares her background of what she learned in stockmanship with “good movement draws good movement” and how she applies it to human relationships. You'll hear what Terryn finds are some of the biggest hurdles to good communication as well as tips to drive better communication. Her framework breaks down self-awareness and social-awareness and that as relational beings, we need community. How can you come across curious instead of critical during communication?

Where is the line between being a caretaker and a people pleaser? On today's episode Meg is back to build off a recent conversation we had about prioritizing yourself. Meg shares her expectations she puts on herself about being a caretaker for her family. As women, there's so much awareness around not being a people pleaser that it tends to overshadow the real experience and the value of the caretaker mentality. What drives the caretaker mentality and why can it be different from a people pleaser mentality?
