Good Movement Draws Good Movement

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 DO
• Starting small when processing your emotions vs. tackling them all at once
• How to ground yourself as you work through this process
• What it feels like when you finally process your feelings & emotions in the moment
• How you can support others who are just starting this process

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 health
• The all-too-common stigma of "toughen up and rub some dirt on it" in the ranching & ag community
• The importance of getting support for YOUR specific mental health needs + finding the right person to talk to
• Jake's advice for seeking help when you're hesitant to do so
• How therapy has impacted Jake in multiple areas of his life
• Common misconceptions about mental health in rural America

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 this episode, I cover:

• Different types of fences in relation to boundaries
• Why the purpose of boundaries can be both helpful AND harmful
• Questions to ask yourself when setting boundaries
• What it looks like to maintain healthy boundaries

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 health
• How processing (or not processing) our emotions will impact our health
• Realizing that pain IS a part of life, but we can find meaning & opportunity in it

"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 us
• What can happen when we ignore pain and the signals it sends us
• My experience with a major pain point in my own life
• Practical ways to engage with pain
• Getting curious on where pain is showing up in your life

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 cows
• Why what we think we need to do to slow down or stop cattle ends up being the opposite of that
• Our upcoming winter projects
• What burnout on the ranch has typically looked like for Tom + how we've worked together when certain projects weren't going well this fall

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 America
• What happens when we bottle up our emotions and ignore our mental well-being
• The collective resolution I want us to make in the new year
• Simple ways for us to begin breaking the stigma together

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 is
• Why we can’t numb emotions like fear, anger, and sadness and still expect to feel happiness, joy, and love to the fullest

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 grace
• Understanding that everyone has a reason for their actions and there's always more to the story
• Why extending grace does NOT mean that you accept or condone behavior
• Why grace matters and its vital connection to emotions
• How we can extend more grace to others

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 horsemanship
• How working with horses started Warwick’s journey of unraveling and the role his podcast plays in showing the unraveling of our cultural and societal conditionings
• Ways to support horses with nervous system regulation using connection and how this applies to people, too
• How 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 humans
• The concept of waiting vs. doing when working with horses and why the nervous system isn’t meant to be calm all the time
• Why attachment and attunement are what humans need most but are also most lacking
