Climbing with Coach Kiah

Today’s guest is a familiar one; she’s been on the show before and if you follow me on social media, you’ve seen a lot of her lately! I’m bringing back my partner-in-crime, Courtenay DeHoff, and today we’re talking about all things Backroad Cowgirls. We’ll give you a glimpse into what it looked like to be on the road for two weeks and some of the shenanigans we got into along the way. Season One of the Backroad Cowgirls is live on YouTube!

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• What Backroad Cowgirls is and how it came to be
• Don’t wait until you’re ready, because you’ll never feel ready - just do the dang thing!
• Challenges and wins from the two-week road trip
• What’s next for the Backroad Cowgirls

On today’s episode, I’m sharing a realization I had the other day while reflecting on my life. I feel like my life is a series of relearning the same lessons over and over again and sometimes there are moments in my life that remind me what I need to keep in mind. I’ll chat about the concept of the arrival fallacy and learning how to dream big and have big goals, without losing sight of the fact that you might be currently living a life you one day dreamt of.

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Don’t let the vision get in the way of the current dream you’re living
• Learning how to be proud, grateful, and fulfilled here while reaching for more
• Don’t hope/wish/dream your current life away
• Being present and content with being a work in progress
• Rooting ourselves in gratitude of what we have now and who are are now

In this episode, we continue our conversation all about mental health. Today I’m introducing you to Jason Medows. ​​Jason was born and raised on his family’s cow calf operation outside of Cuba, Missouri. He grew up playing football and baseball and was involved in his local 4-H. In 2002, Jason left the farm for St Louis College of Pharmacy. He graduated in 2008 with his Doctor in Pharmacy and returned home to work at a local hospital and continue the cow-calf operation he started in college. It was at that local hospital where he met his future wife, Keri. Fast forward 12 years and they have four boys and have purchased another farm of their own. In 2019, Jason began his podcast, Ag State Of Mind, where he combined his medical background with his passion for agriculture to help break the stigma surrounding mental health in agriculture.

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• The power of healing yourself to heal others
• How even when things are going well in your life - happy marriage, healthy kids, etc - that doesn’t mean you aren’t still struggling with your mental health 
• The real trouble starts when you hide it and don’t talk about it because of shame - shame that you aren’t “tough” or shame because your life is good and you feel bad that you’re struggling 
• Trying to break the mold of perfectionism in order to be a more realistic example for the next generation 
• How to help someone else that isn’t yet bought in about taking care of their mental health

In this episode I’m bringing you the incredible Ashley Machado. Ashley grew up in the dairy industry and is now a wife to a calf rancher and almond farmer in California. She has her B.A in Human Development, and Masters in Social Work with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health. Ashley is rethinking the way we support Mental Health in the ag industry and specializes in breaking down big ideas and deep feelings into simple and actionable strategies for ag families and businesses alike. Her goal is for everyone in the ag industry and rural America to have the tools they need in their mental health toolbox to live life fully by talking about things like anxiety, self-growth, relationships, and communication.

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Mental health in the agriculture industry and the stigma around it 
• The difference between formal therapy vs. talking to your friend/mom
• Mental health tools to have in your tool box
• That life can be two things at once; beautiful and messy, hard and good - and to let yourself feel all the feelings that come along with it
• Communication and relationships
• Learning and re-learning lessons but in different contexts of life

As I recorded this episode, I was preparing for a two-week road trip; manifesting a dream I've had on my heart for a very long time. Today, I want to talk about finally taking a chance on yourself. Finally taking a moment to start living your life. And betting on yourself and chasing those wild and crazy dreams that you have on your heart. 

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Just start. Right where you are with what you’ve got. Just start!
• Being nervous and afraid but doing it anyway and showing up
• Don’t hope and wish your life away - take action! 
• What holds us back from our big dreams
• Growth only happens when we take chances 
• Chase your dreams but also allow them to change shape

In this episode, I am chatting with Beth Probst. Beth is a plus-size, mediocre runner who started running after a few too many mojitos and declaring to her friend's she was training for a half-marathon (she was not). A few months later she crossed the finish line. After a decade of racing, she published her first book: It Could Be Worse: A girlfriend's guide for runners who detest running. In addition to tactical running tips for plus-size runners, this is a story about an ordinary gal redefining what success looks like - and the power of showing up for yourself.

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Changing our relationship with challenging things and discomfort 
• The identity of being a runner
• Defining what success looks like for yourself and how “right” can look like many different things
• The relationship with your body and how there is no arrival, it’s a lifelong journey
• Doing something messy and imperfect is better than not trying in the first place
• The power of publicly declaring your intentions to be held accountable and then showing up and making it happen 
• Reflecting back each day and being aware if you’ve moved one step closer to who you want to be
• Learning to flex our “no muscle” and turning your default answer to “no” instead of “yes”

Today we’re chatting about “falling off the wagon.” I’ve used this phrase many times in my life for many different things and today I want to unpack together what it means to fall off the wagon and talk about ways we can hop right back on the freakin’ wagon. 

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Where the expression “falling off the wagon” originated 
• My recent experience with “falling off the wagon” and the feelings it brought up in me
• How to break the shame cycle and why we need to stop “should-ing” all over ourselves
• The power of taking small action / baby steps
• We cannot shame ourselves into becoming who we want to be

In today’s episode, not only do I talk about how to be a “hat person”, but I dig into how this is actually a metaphor about becoming ANY kind of person you want to be. A hat person, an active person, a morning person, or even a TV show host. Whatever kind of person you want to be, I’m going to share with you one of the most profound truths about how to make this happen and it might surprise you just how simple it is. 

 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• The cost of your new life is your old one
• Really focusing and getting clear on what’s most important to you and your life
• Taking action towards becoming the person you want to be even though it feels messy and uncomfortable 
• The key is to start acting like the person you want to be, not waiting to become that person 
• Our very own new digital series Backroad Cowgirls
