Good Movement Draws Good Movement

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 kids
• Ways to reclaim our awareness and mindfulness as adults
• How we can foster awareness and mindfulness in our kids

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 relationships
• Understanding that sometimes the issue is clearly yours to fix, and other times it is the other person’s
• Signs that it’s not your responsibility/something that’s on your side of the fence
• Ways 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

In today's episode, I'm talking about the "treat yo self to maintain yourself" concept and what a new take on self-care can look like. Self-care is about meeting your basic needs and caring for the whole self - mind, body, and soul. Each of these parts needs optimal attention so you can show up fully in every aspect of your life.

I hope this episode provides you with a new take on self-care because you don't need permission to take care of yourself. But if, for some reason, you still think you do, here's your reminder to take care of yourself, friend!

In this episode, I cover:

• What self-care and taking care of your "whole self" really is
• Simple + practical ways to weave self-care into your daily life
• Why self-care is NOT selfish

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, too
• What it can look like as your goals and priorities change over time
• How you actually develop the ‘feel’ with both animals and humans

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 try
• Taking a deliberate, intentional pause before responding in a high-stress, high-emotion situation
• How body awareness and grounding can help during tense and ‘heated’ moments

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 lives
• How to stay ‘grounded’ during heated moments
• Why acknowledging everyone’s emotions during tough, heated moments matters
• The power that comes from using neutral, calm language
• The importance of balancing validation with setting boundaries

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 others
• How to seek validation for ourselves
• Why validation is much more than just ‘fixing problems’ + a special challenge for you

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 powerful
• What validation is NOT
• Understanding the role that validation plays in stockmanship
