Good Movement Draws Good Movement

In today's episode, I'm talking about raising resilient kids by being real in FRONT of them. When we model how to walk through the tough seasons and come out on the other side, we give our kids the tools they need to do the same!They don't need a perfect parent; they need a present one who shows them what it looks like to fall, get back up, and keep going. That's the kind of resilience they'll carry with them for life!In this episode, I cover:What happens when you're always strong and hide your emotions from your kidsWhat you can and should let your kids see and hear from youHow modeling emotional regulation shapes your kids and positively impacts future generations Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/raising-resilient-kidsConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:The Whole-Brain ChildRaising Securely Attached KidsJoin the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Download your free guide to Handling Hard Conversations!Handling Hard Conversations Freebie

In today's episode, I'm talking about reflexes, ropes, and rewiring your response. 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 workA lighthearted story about my son, his ever-present rope & the power of muscle memoryWhy your nervous system leans on old reflexes + how it's really trying to keep you safeThe healing that comes when you notice old patterns without shame and begin building new ones rooted in safety, trust & connection Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/rewiring-your-responseConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Join The DrawJoin the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Download your free guide to Handling Hard Conversations!Handling Hard Conversations Freebie

In 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 onceWhat it means to get stuck in fight, flight, or freeze + how to gently return to rest and digestSimple 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 Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 shouldWhy we're designed for connection as humans & need relationships with othersWorking through the hard stuff in life instead of continuously shoving it downReflections you can start now to support your healing & inner work Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today's episode, I'm talking about why emotions aren't the problem - avoiding them is. Emotions are meant to help, guide, and connect you. They're not an inconvenience (contrary to what you may believe) but are actually a BEAUTIFUL part of our design as humans!I know that feeling and connecting with your emotions can sound scary, but it is VITAL if you want to experience lasting healing in your life! I would love for you to take some time and think about what emotions you've been ignoring or labeling as bad.

In today's episode, I'm talking about small gestures, big impact, and what the power of simple connection looks like.

In 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 emotionsUnderstanding that suppressed emotions don't just disappearPersonal examples of how I've felt both "f- you" and "thank you" emotionsHow to use the "f- you and thank you" exercise in your own life Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 today's episode, we're redefining ‘I'm good' and how feeling every emotion & healing deeply impacts you. So often, we think that feeling good means we're never sad, worried, angry, etc., but that's definitely not the case.Healing is never a one-and-done thing, and it's not going to look the same for everyone.

I'm excited to welcome Kelly Greene back to the podcast today and continue the conversation from the last episode!Today, we're talking about finding meaning in the mess and how purpose fuels resistance. Kelly and I also discuss the vast, transcendent emotion of awe and how this gives you something powerful to focus on outside of yourself.

I'm excited to welcome my friend, Kelly Greene, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, onto the podcast today!In today's part 1 episode, we're discussing holistic resilience and what rethinking strength and survival looks like. Kelly has experienced her fair share of trauma over the years and has often been told how resilient she is.

In today's episode, we're talking about why we stay and the pull of the familiar, even when it hurts. As humans, we find comfort in familiarity. 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:Why we find comfort in familiarityUnderstanding what's really going on when someone stays where they areMy personal experience with staying comfortably numb for far too longQuestions to ask yourself when you're considering making a change Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 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 DOStarting small when processing your emotions vs. tackling them all at onceHow to ground yourself as you work through this processWhat it feels like when you finally process your feelings & emotions in the momentHow you can support others who are just starting this process Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

I'm honored to welcome a special guest, former Marine Jake Ogren, onto the podcast today!Jake is a husband, dad, and former Marine who chose to serve after 9/11 happened. After doing multiple tours in 12 years, he left the U.S. Marine Corps and has been shoeing horses for 10 years now. He's a good friend of ours and our horse's farrier, and since I've known him, we've had MANY conversations surrounding the topics of mental health, trauma, and taking care of ourselves. Basically, we're solving all of the world's problems in the horse barn! In today's episode, we're talking about what it looks like to go from toughen up to open up. Jake and I discuss the very well-known stigma in the ranching and ag space that is "toughen up and rub some dirt on it," as well as getting personalized support for YOUR mental health needs. In this episode, we cover:Jake's journey of joining the Marines Corps + what eventually led him to seek therapy for his mental healthThe all-too-common stigma of "toughen up and rub some dirt on it" in the ranching & ag communityThe importance of getting support for YOUR specific mental health needs + finding the right person to talk toJake's advice for seeking help when you're hesitant to do soHow therapy has impacted Jake in multiple areas of his lifeCommon misconceptions about mental health in rural America Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Healthy 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 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 healthHow processing (or not processing) our emotions will impact our healthRealizing that pain IS a part of life, but we can find meaning & opportunity in it Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

"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 usWhat can happen when we ignore pain and the signals it sends usMy experience with a major pain point in my own lifePractical ways to engage with painGetting curious on where pain is showing up in your life Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 cowsWhy what we think we need to do to slow down or stop cattle ends up being the opposite of thatOur upcoming winter projectsWhat burnout on the ranch has typically looked like for Tom + how we've worked together when certain projects weren't going well this fall Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

As 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 AmericaWhat happens when we bottle up our emotions and ignore our mental well-beingThe collective resolution I want us to make in the new yearSimple ways for us to begin breaking the stigma together Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today's episode, I want to share the hard truth about emotions because, well, you gotta feel them ALL. When it comes to emotions, we must understand that they themselves are not the problem, but rather, our resistance to actually feeling them is. 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!In this episode, I cover:How our emotions themselves are not the problem, but our resistance to feeling them isWhy we can't numb emotions like fear, anger, and sadness and still expect to feel happiness, joy, and love to the fullest Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 graceUnderstanding that everyone has a reason for their actions and there's always more to the storyWhy extending grace does NOT mean that you accept or condone behaviorWhy grace matters and its vital connection to emotionsHow we can extend more grace to others Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 horsemanshipHow working with horses started Warwick's journey of unraveling and the role his podcast plays in showing the unraveling of our cultural and societal conditioningsWays to support horses with nervous system regulation using connection and how this applies to people, tooHow 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 humansThe concept of waiting vs. doing when working with horses and why the nervous system isn't meant to be calm all the timeWhy attachment and attunement are what humans need most but are also most lacking Connect with Warwick:Follow on Instagram and FacebookCheck out his YouTubeListen to The Journey on PodcastCheck out his website and online video library Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Recently, 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 kidsWays to reclaim our awareness and mindfulness as adultsHow we can foster awareness and mindfulness in our kids Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 relationshipsUnderstanding that sometimes the issue is clearly yours to fix, and other times it is the other person'sSigns that it's not your responsibility/something that's on your side of the fenceWays 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 Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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.

I'm excited to welcome a special guest, Kourtney Talkington, onto the podcast today! Today's topic is one we haven't really covered here on the podcast: our relationship with food and how to successfully navigate it as we head into the holiday season. In today's episode, Kourtney and I discuss the power of self-awareness and mindful eating. She shares 5 things to focus on that can help shift your mindset and beliefs around food, tips on maintaining a healthy relationship with food this holiday season, prioritizing your emotions and overall well-being, and more!If you're ready to improve your self-awareness and practice mindful eating as we head into this holiday season (or any time of the year), you will NOT want to miss this uplifting conversation!In this episode, we cover:How Kourtney's rural upbringing + previous eating disorder led her to the work she's doing today5 things to focus on that can help you change your mindset & beliefs around foodHow to maintain a healthy relationship with food during the holiday seasonTaking emotion out of food vs. using food to numb your emotionsWays to prioritize your well-being, regardless of what family or friends may say at holiday gatheringsChoosing to celebrate the memories (not just the food) this holiday season Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Guess 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, tooWhat it can look like as your goals and priorities change over timeHow you actually develop the ‘feel' with both animals and humans Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/why-feel-matters-more-than-formulas/Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Learn more and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for you.1:1 Good Movement Guidance

Today'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 tryTaking a deliberate, intentional pause before responding in a high-stress, high-emotion situationHow body awareness and grounding can help during tense and ‘heated' momentsMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/building-emotional-resilience-and-communicationConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:The Principles of Training by Warwick Schiller [affiliate link]M Well the Podcast with Ashley Machado: Three Breathing Exercises to Help with StressJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingSome links referenced above are affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

We'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 livesHow to stay ‘grounded' during heated momentsWhy acknowledging everyone's emotions during tough, heated moments mattersThe power that comes from using neutral, calm languageThe importance of balancing validation with setting boundariesMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comMentioned Episodes: Episode 15: Repairing After a FightEpisode 36: Boundaries Are KindEpisode 51: Practical Tips for Validation: How to Validate and Seek It in RelationshipsEpisode 50: Validation vs. Agreement: Understanding the Difference and Why It MattersEpisode 49: Calming the Sort Alley: How to Communicate in the Heat of the MomentResources & Links:Rare Leadership in the WorkplaceJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr...

Validation is a key piece in building stronger relationships and communicating more effectively. This is especially true in rural life, where emotions tend to go unspoken. In last week's episode, I discussed what validation is and why it's important. Today, I'm excited to continue the conversation surrounding validation, and share more about the ‘practical' side of it.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.In this episode, ​​I cover:Effective ways to validate othersHow to seek validation for ourselvesWhy validation is much more than just ‘fixing problems' + a special challenge for youMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/practical-tips-for-validation-how-to-validate-and-seek-it-in-relationships-episode-51/ Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join the Good Movement Collective!Good Movement Collective

In today's episode, I talk about validation vs. agreement, and why understanding the difference matters. Validation is the process of acknowledging and recognizing someone's feelings, thoughts, or experiences as legitimate and REAL. 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.Validation can truly be a key tool to break through emotional and miscommunication barriers; it's an effective way of saying ‘I see you, I hear you, and what you're feeling matters'.In this episode, ​​I cover:What validation is + why it's incredibly important and powerfulWhat validation is NOTUnderstanding the role that validation plays in stockmanshipMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/validation-vs-agreement-understanding-the-difference-and-why-it-matters-episode-50 Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comRelated Episode: Episode 49: Calming the Sort Alley: How to Communicate in the Heat of the MomentResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting

Today'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 checkAsk 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 weakHow to get other people on board with improving communication and drawing good movement and why it's a ‘slow burn'Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/calming-the-sort-alley-how-to-communicate-in-the-heat-of-the-moment-episode-49/ Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comRelated Episodes: Episode 24 | How to Get Others to Do the Personal Growth Work with TomEpisode 46 | Cultivating Resilience + Fighting Well: Dannel Wissler on Mental Health and Family Dynamics in Rural AmericaResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Learn more and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for you.1:1 Good Movement Guidance

It's been a bit since Tom has been with us, but he's back on the podcast today! 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 anxietyPreparation for weaning the cows and calves + how this has gone for us in the pastOur epic kayaking adventure + the pride and excitement we felt for our kids showing at the fairResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/anxiety-and-string-fence-with-tom-episode-48

Today'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!

I'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 momThe entrepreneurial ‘push' that led Dannel to start Willow Oaks Counseling + the wide variety of clients she supportsMultiple barriers affecting the ag community + why it's necessary to ‘break the stigma' when you're struggling and need support with your mental healthHow Dannel's role in both agriculture and counseling have influenced each other, and every part of her lifeDannel's book, Saving Mr. Toad Resources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Dannel:Check out her websiteSend her an email at dwissler@willowoakscounseling.comGet a copy of Dannel's book, Saving Mr. ToadConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@faithfamilyandbeef.comMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/cultivating-resilience-fighting-well-dannel-wissler-on-mental-health-and-family-dynamics-in-rural-america-episode-46

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 itWhat totally changed my viewpoint on our lack of ‘why' + the hyperawareness I now have regarding many behaviors and issues in the worldRealizing 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' Resources & Links:In the Realm of Hungry GhostsJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/where-is-the-why-episode-45

I'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 sameWhy I'm choosing to hug my kids when they're experiencing really strong emotions, instead of adding fuel to the fire by getting angry myselfBeing willing to work on our confidence and asking for support when we get frustratedResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comRelated Episodes: Episode 42: What I Would Do Differently in Parenting if I Had It to Do Over AgainEpisode 38: Attachment and Attunement - What Do Those Words Even Mean?Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/how-attachment-and-attunement-have-transformed-my-parenting-episode-44/

In 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 isRealizing that we can't numb emotions like fear, anger, and sadness, and still expect to feel happiness, joy, and love to the fullestResources & Links:Follow Quinlan Walther on Instagram @quinlanwaltherJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comRelated Episodes: Episode 40: Knowing When to Set a Boundary with Sheila HansenEpisode 41: Quest for Joy with Kiah Twisselman BurchettEpisode 31: 3 Things I'm Doing to Take Care of MeMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/my-mind-blowing-realization-about-emotions-episode-43

Well...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 momSeeking help on my own healing journey and ‘filling the holes' that I had in my attachment brainMy thoughts on the sleep schedule/sleep training I implemented with my kids as babies, and if I would do anything differently nowRealizing that we are ALL imperfect humans, and none of us are exempt from pain or adversity in this lifeResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comRelated Episodes: Episode 38: Attachment and Attunement - What Do Those Words Even Mean?Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/what-i-would-do-differently-in-parenting-if-i-had-it-to-do-over-again-episode-42/

I'm very excited to welcome my great friend, Kiah Twisselman Burchett (better known as Coach Kiah), onto the podcast!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 unfulfilledHow 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 joyThe generational changes that we are now seeing with emotionsHow the ‘arrival fallacy' traps us into believing that a certain moment, achievement, etc. is the only way to make us feel happy and worthyWhy our healing journey shows us the power in shedding what's no longer serving us, and allows us to come back ‘home' to ourselvesKiah's ever-evolving Quest for Joy journey + her commitment to authenticity and truly getting to know herself again Resources & Links:Atlas of the Heart by Brene BrownJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement TrainingsGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Kiah:Follow on Instagram @coach_kiahCheck out her websiteListen to her podcast Climbing with Coach KiahConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@faithfamilyandbeef.comMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here:

I'm very excited to welcome my ‘bestie as a guestie', Sheila Hansen, onto the podcast!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).

I'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 lifeThe ‘seed of desire' that grew into the Farm Wives Club™️ + what this has evolved intoWhy we need deeper connection in our world today (now, more than ever) + understanding that community is vital, and allows us to thriveKylie'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 homeResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement TrainingsGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Kylie:Farm Wives Club™️Follow on Instagram @kylieepperson_Check out her websiteConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@faithfamilyandbeef.comRelated Episodes: Episode 6 | Rethinking Mental Health with Ashley MachadoEpisode 9 | Ripple Effects with Emily Reuschel Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/building-community-with-kylie-epperson-episode-39

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 booksWhat 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 Resources & Links:When the Body Says NoThe Myth of NormalScattered MindsIn the Realm of Hungry GhostsJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr...

This 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 themMy first experience with volunteering and attending the Cattlemen's Ball of Nebraska + other fun events I've enjoyed being a part of recentlyAll of the extra ‘stuff' happening this time of year with ranching + conditions that can positively and negatively affect all of itThe validation piece that really comes into play with both cows and humansResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.com Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/an-update-on-life-and-our-cows-episode-37

In 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 othersWhy 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 lifeResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.com Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/boundaries-are-kind-episode-36

We 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 interactionsGiving others plenty of space (without added pressure) to make good decisionsHaving clarity on where you're headed + setting and providing clear expectations for others so they know as wellResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/what-i-learned-about-human-communication-from-the-cows-that-got-out-episode-35

Thea 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 CoffeeChoosing 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 lifeWhy 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 aboutFostering joy in the ‘slow burn', everyday things, instead of staying in that instant gratification, Amazon prime mindset our society is so accustomed toWhy good movement should be flexible, purposeful, and bring more ease into your life vs. keeping you ‘stuck' and stopped upResources & Links:Join the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement TrainingsGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting Connect with Thea:Follow on Instagram @cowgirlsovercoffee and @thea.does.the.thingsFollow on FacebookCheck out her websiteListen to Thea's podcast: Cowgirls Over Coffee Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@faithfamilyandbeef.com Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/embracing-the-slow-burn-with-thea-larsen-episode-34

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 othersHow 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 answersThe importance of modeling the behaviors you want to to see from othersResources & Links:Nebraska Women in Ag Herd That!
