Climbing with Coach Kiah

It might sound silly to some people, but back in high school (and long after) I had a personal rule to never let my legs show above my knees. Along with that rule, I had several other rules on a long list of conditions for my own self-acceptance. I have since been working on overcoming those rules, and I am celebrating myself for loving and accepting my body in lots of different ways. Seemingly small ways that actually mean a lot to me. And I want to celebrate you for the steps you’re taking too.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Rules I made for myself in the past of how to dress
• Having lists of conditions of our own self-acceptance
• How to combat past conditioned shame that might still creep up 
• Celebrating the small wins and the baby steps that you’re taking today
• Empower women in the baby steps they are taking to love themselves

In today’s episode, I have the honor of chatting with powerhouse guest, Jessie Jarvis. Jessie is a fellow rancher, a new fellow podcaster, and today we’re covering topics such as family heritage, business advice, and the necessity of courage and confidence.

Jessie Jarvis was born and raised on her family’s cattle ranch in Southern Idaho, which at an early age, instilled in her the importance of a strong work ethic, and a deep appreciation for American agriculture and the western way of life.

In 2020, Jessie founded Of The West, a job platform that focuses solely on jobs in the agriculture and western industries. As someone who has been on all sides of the spectrum—as a job seeker, a business owner, someone looking for various service providers, and as a freelancer—Jessie deeply understands the obstacles one must navigate when job hunting or looking to hire for employment or project purposes in the agriculture and western industries.

She, her husband Justin, and their two children are proud to be the third and fourth generations carrying on their family ranching operation.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Family heritage and being involved in a multigenerational ranching operation 
• Jessie’s origin story and how she started an ag start-up tech company 
• Building businesses with the future in mind
• Stepping into courage and confidence to see a new idea to fruition
• The balance of having the knowledge so you can make educated decisions but also outsourcing to others who are the experts and will save you time
• The power of soft skills

If you’re listening to this in real time, we are just a couple weeks away from hitting the middle of the year. We typically think about setting goals and casting big visions for our lives and our careers at the beginning of a new year, but I think it’s important that we make time throughout the year to check-in with ourselves, check in on our progress, and reevaluate if we’re still going in the right direction or even climbing the right mountain. Things change, and it’s okay for our direction to change as a result of that. But if we keep just our heads down and never assess how we’re feeling and if the path we’re on is still even aligned, we may reach the destination only to discover we wish we had gone a different direction. So, this week, let’s ask ourselves some check-in questions and explore how we can set some aligned intentions for the rest of the year moving forward. Let’s dive in!

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Assessing the areas in your life where you feel like you’re thriving vs. falling short 
• How is your progress on your goals and do your goals still align with the person you want to become? 
• If you didn’t set goals for yourself at the beginning of the year, what might your goals look like for the remainder of the year?
• Guidepost check-in
• You are already manifesting everything in your life, you might as well intentionally curate the life you want 
• The impact vision boards have made on my life

In this episode, I have the joy of welcoming a long awaited guest, my very own husband, Brent Burchett! When I first started this podcast about two years ago, I asked Brent to be a guest on the podcast and much to my dismay, he said no! He then agreed that if I made it to 100 episodes, then he’d be a guest on the show. So here we are! 100 episodes into the Climbing with Coach Kiah podcast and he kept his word. 

Brent Burchett serves as Executive Director of the San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau. His 15-year career in agriculture and public policy has included service at the local, state, and federal levels of government, including the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Kentucky Soybean Association, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, Kentucky Secretary of State, and the Office of U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell. Burchett is a proud graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture and the Martin School for Public Policy and Administration. He grew up working on his family's grain and tobacco farm near the western Kentucky town of Murray, and lives today in San Luis Obispo with his wonderful wife, Kiah. 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• The story of how we met
• How our past business of Burley & Barley came about
• How bourbon is made, how to read labels, and some tips on choosing a good one
• Some insight on Ag Lobbying
• Differences between CA agriculture and KY agriculture
• A few questions that my community asked
• The thing we fight about most in our relationship

So today I’m sharing travel thoughts, tips, and insights that will help you plan your next trip, or maybe just consider putting one on the calendar. Trust me, it’s worth it.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

“Compared to what?” This was a question my grandpa would always ask us when we chatted.

Even if all I was asking him was “how are you doing?” It was a powerful lesson in perspective, in realizing that everything we think, believe, and feel is always in the context of what we’re comparing it to. So in today’s episode, I’m challenging you with this question and the power of perspective. 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• However you choose to describe something, is in comparison to something else 
• The summertime body comparison struggle 
• So much of our body image journey is unpacking where our thoughts came from
• We get to take responsibility for our own thoughts and feelings and the perspective we choose
