In stockmanship (the art and science of handling cattle in a safe, effective, low-stress manner), we have this phrase . . . good movement draws good movement. 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. Tune in every Tuesday and make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode! Let’s go draw good movement!

In today's episode, we're celebrating the 100th episode with a ranch Q&A and real talk with Tom and me (yep, Tom had to be here for episode 100)! We're keeping things fun and laid-back for this one. You'll hear us dive into questions about Tom and his emotions, how we try to help OUR kids navigate their feelings, lessons we're still learning about communication and grace, our favorite parts of ranching, and more.Since this is the 100th episode, I'm also doing a special giveaway to celebrate (make sure to listen until the end for details on that)!I'm truly grateful to have you here - this podcast wouldn't exist without you.

In 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 cowThe 2 main approaches we often take with peopleWhy you don't have to fully understand what someone's going through to validate themThe power of self-validation + what it can look like in your daily life Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 logicalThe purpose emotions serve + what happens when we ignore themHow different responses to emotions can either help or harmPractical tools to pause, process, and choose intentional action Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 wasWhy clear communication matters so much (especially with family)The very different perspectives between Tom and the kidsHow Tom's emotional waves have shifted through inner work and regulation Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/communication-gapsConnect 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:Download your free guide to Handling Hard Conversations!Handling Hard Conversations Freebie
In 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! If you're ready to start turning your own pile into something good, I'd be honored to sit with you in it. You can schedule a consult call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance. Here's to acknowledging the "crap" (and composting it), together!In this episode, I cover:Why you can't instantly turn sh*t into fertilizer + the steps that come firstWhy digging deep and doing the inner work matters when life gets messyHow growth begins with honestly recognizing what's going on Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today's episode, I'm diving into why you may be waiting for a crisis to seek help. 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 apartHow long we tend to wait before finally asking for helpThe 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 Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 silenceThe double standard in how anger is handled differently for men vs. womenWhat anger actually isReal-life examples of what healthy aggression can look likeTuning into where anger shows up in your body + getting curious about its messageReflective journal prompts to help you explore and reclaim your anger Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

I'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 transitionLearning to trust herself again and reconnect with her inner voiceWhy a strong connection with our kids doesn't depend on who we were when they were bornThe biggest shifts Paige has experienced since beginning her healing journeyPaige's reflections on the Good Movement Collective + why she'd recommend to othersThe power of feeling seen, heard, and supported by someone who truly “gets it” Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In 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 guidanceWhy healing starts with learning to love yourself firstRealizing that you're NOT meant to do this work aloneWhat's shifted for Matt + the tools that are helping him nowThe real purpose of inner work, healing, and nervous system regulationMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/doing-the-work-for-youConnect with Matt:Follow on Instagram @matthewgasselingFollow on FacebookConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Episode 26: Trials, Self-awareness, + Living a Life of Abundance with Michaela GasselingListen to The Wild Courage PodcastJoin 1:1 Good Movement GuidanceJoin the waitlist for 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 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 backfireThe “fart and the flower” exercise for balancing the hard AND the happyEasy ways to weave the “fart and the flower” practice into your daily routinesWhy it's all about simple, low-pressure acknowledgment (not “forced” gratitude) Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today's episode, I'm talking about the phrase "I'm just complaining" and other things we say to downplay what we feel. We've been conditioned to downplay our emotions, especially in rural life and agricultural spaces, where strength is often measured by how much you can "grit and bear." 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 stuckWhat to say instead of “I'm just complaining” when you need to be heardThe quiet power of simply being present for someone in their painMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/downplay-what-we-feelConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Schedule your 1-hour 1:1 guidance callJoin the waitlist for 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, keynote speaker and mindset coach Calli Thorne and I are discussing why mental health first aid should be as common as first aid and CPR - especially in rural life. Calli offers a real look into what this training involves, why it matters, and how it can genuinely change lives.

In 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!In this episode, I cover:Why it's so human to long for apologies and validationWhat healing without an apology can look & feel likeHow to reclaim your power and begin moving forward (no apology required)Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/you-dont-need-their-apologyConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Schedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for youJoin the waitlist for 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 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 NOTWhy so many of us struggle to receive apologies + how to practice receiving them with graceNaming and grieving the hurt when an apology never comesPractical tips for offering a genuine, heartfelt apology Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/what-apologies-areConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Schedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for youJoin 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 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 truthsWhy grace is truth-telling, boundary-holding, and rooted in kindnessA personal story of extending real grace to Tom during a frustrating momentWhy grace makes space for connection, healing, and growth instead of shame Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

**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 controlWhat to do when we catch ourselves in that space of quick judgmentRisks of staying silent and ignoring red flags in ourselves or othersHow we can create safer + more compassionate spaces for those struggling with mental health Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today's episode, I'm talking about why apologies aren't weak - they're repair. I recently apologized to my middle daughter for a moment that happened nearly seven years ago.It's something that I felt the need to circle back to, especially since we've been talking about the power of showing our kids that we're human.Apologies aren't weak - taking the time to apologize shows that we care.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

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!

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!

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
