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’.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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 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!

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.

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!!
