Good Movement Draws Good Movement

Our brains don’t like mystery or ambiguity, and they are really, really good at filling in the blanks. Unfortunately, this can wreak havoc on our mental and emotional well-being, as well as negatively impact our relationships. In today’s episode, I share more about how this shows up in my own life, as well as simple ways you can start filling in the blanks with more fact than fiction (no more unnecessary mad libs of the mind)!

If you find yourself nodding along with this episode and resonating with filling in the blanks with fact over fiction most of the time, or you’re feeling emotionally tapped out and overwhelmed, I’m excited to bring you the Good Movement Collective. You can check out the link in the show notes below to learn more about this and join the waitlist, so you’ll be the first in line to know when the doors are officially open!

In this episode, we cover:

• How I start filling in the blanks and stressing myself out, even though I don’t have the full story from the other person
• The elaborate (and scary) story I weaved regarding a conversation I needed to have with a friend + how it played out
•  Simple ways you can start filling in the blanks with more fact than fiction

I have a special episode to share with you today - a conversation that is with none other than my wonderful mother-in-law, Kathy! Kathy and I have quite a bit in common - we’re both stubborn and are deep thinkers (we are the same Enneagram type after all, which is pretty cool). Kathy has had a variety of careers over the years, and she’s also been drawing good movement for quite some time, so I’m excited for you to hear her unique perspective.

Curiosity and kindness may not be super flashy things, but they really do matter in the interactions we have with other people. I always learn when I get to talk with Kathy, and this conversation was no different - I know you’ll enjoy learning from her too!

In this episode, we cover: 

• Approaching everyone with respect by taking the time to really listen to them + how that builds rapport over time
• Choosing curiosity and not being afraid to continue asking questions
• The stereotypes Kathy experienced with being from California + being consistent and subtle when connecting with others
• Why extending empathy and practicing self-awareness really go a long way
• The impact good movement had on Tom from a young age, and how that’s evolved over time
• A big misconception surrounding good movement
• Why context plays a huge role in our interactions
• Breaking the cycle of rude with something kind instead
• Why being older doesn’t automatically equal having wisdom

I’m honored to have Jessie Jarvis on the podcast today! Jessie has a true passion for the ag and western industries, which led her to create her company, Of The West, a job platform built specifically to connect hundreds of employers and job seekers in these industries. We talk all about some of the key communication challenges that arise (not only in the ag and western spaces, but everywhere in our society), choosing to show up and BE the actual change you want to see in the world, why a strong work ethic, communication skills, and other soft skills matter more than you think, and more.

Jessie Jarvis is a wife, mother, third-generation rancher, and Founder of Of The West. Jessie 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 the American West. In addition to her lifelong involvement raising cattle, Jessie has had over a decade’s worth of experience in print and digital media, both writing for and producing various agriculture and western fashion publications, as well as freelancing in ag and western communications. Jessie's passion for ag + western industries is unmatched, and is what led her to create Of The West, a job platform built specifically for the two industries. Since its launch in 2021, Of The West has helped connect hundreds of employers and job seekers, partnered with cornerstone organizations in the industry, and is leading the charge in cultivating the future of the agriculture + western industries. 

In this episode, we cover: 

• Some of the major communication challenges we face in our world today when working closely (and simply interacting) with others
• Understanding both sides of the common phrase ‘this is the way we’ve always done it’ in the ag and western spaces
• Choosing to actually BE more of the change that you want in the world
• The variety of resources Of The West offers employers, employees, and contractors
• Why having a good work ethic, communication habits, and other valuable soft skills go a lot farther than you think
• The benefits that come from consistently investing in yourself with education, skills, knowledge, etc.
• The importance of self-awareness (and actually implementing it) + taking a ‘pause’ before trying a different approach with what you’re doing

I know so many of us can resonate with the ups and downs in life, and especially, those challenging ‘winter’ seasons that are bound to happen. In this episode, I talk more about how the seasons of our lives usually match nature’s seasons, the crisp clarity and opportunity that can come from those cold, dark winters we experience in our lives, how to actually face your winters head-on, and more.

In this episode, we cover:

• How the seasons of our lives tend to mimic nature’s seasons
• The clarity and opportunity that can still arise from the cold and dark ‘winters’ we experience in our own lives
• Why we must face our personal winters head-on
• Some of my own tried and true ways that have helped me get through my own ‘winters’

My husband, Tom, is back again! In today’s episode, we’re talking all about the time we got into a fight right after I posted on social media that working cattle with your spouse does NOT have to end in a fight. At first..I felt like a big ‘ol hypocrite after that one. However, I remembered that this occurrence was not the rule for us - it was the exception. 

We’re sharing about what actually started this particular fight, how we made the time and effort to talk and work through this disagreement (and why it’s so important to consistently do this), the value in setting not only your cattle up for success, but you and your partner as well. Hopefully sharing our experience in this way will remind you that repairing after a fight is far more important than the actual slip-up itself!

In this episode, we cover: 

• What actually started (and led to) this particular fight
• The importance of taking the time to talk and work through disagreements
• Why Tom and I still have fights and disagreements sometimes, even after being well-practiced in the Good Movement principle
• The value in setting not only cattle up for success, but you and your partner too
• The powerful concept of ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’, and how this can vary from person to person

Toward the end of 2023, I set three main intentions for what was left of the year - listen to Daily Audio Bible and have quiet time daily, be more present with my husband and kids and less in my head, and open the doors for my 1:1 Good Movement Coaching Membership. However, I ended up adding a fourth intention… unintentionally. 

This got me thinking about a valuable concept we use in stockmanship, which is ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’. In this episode, I talk more about how this phrase applies to both livestock and humans (and how it differs between us), understanding that the hills we have to climb in life don’t necessarily have to be the hardest or most painful, and what slowing down can actually look like in our lives.

I’ve personally learned that slowing down doesn’t mean we’re taking the easy way out, or keeping us from where we want to go. Instead, taking the opportunity to truly slow down, gain the knowledge we need, and be more intentional about moving forward can have the greatest benefit. I hope this episode encourages you to slow down and see what YOUR best path ahead is!

In this episode, we cover:

• My decision to start a fourth intention for the end of 2023, and what that’s looked like so far
• Understanding that we all have hills we have to climb in life, while also knowing there is another way around
• How the concept of ‘slow is smooth, smooth is fast’ applies to both livestock and humans
• What slowing down can look like in your life + taking the opportunity to actually do so
• Why the ‘smooth is fast’ part won’t be as immediately apparent in your interactions and day-to-day life

When it comes to miscommunication and frustration that happens among us as humans, I believe so much of it comes from not having the ‘whole story’ (even though most of the time, we think we do). In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about handling judgment and criticism from others (I have a personal experience of my own to share), why the concept of choosing curiosity over criticism doesn’t only apply to others, and more.

I’ve learned that open-ended, honest questions can truly allow you to move forward with knowledge and understanding, which greatly helps when it comes to embarrassment, frustration, and miscommunication - especially in relationships. Not being afraid to ask questions, and in return, gain the knowledge and understanding you need, will no doubt positively impact your relationships. I hope this episode encourages you to choose curiosity over criticism when it comes to yourself, and those in the world around you!

In this episode, we cover: 

• My own, personal experience dealing with judgment and criticism from others
• The power of asking honest questions
• Why the concept of curiosity over criticism can apply to yourself too

On my most recent podcast episode, I went into detail about what the Enneagram is, and how it can be used to draw good movement. Well today, Tom is back for another episode, and he’s going to be sharing HIS take on the Enneagram! We’re talking about Tom’s initial thoughts on the Enneagram and how that’s changed over time, the value in knowing YOUR specific type + the other types, digging into self-awareness in order to understand how you impact those around you, the stigma around mental health in agriculture, and more.

In this episode, we cover: 

• Tom’s initial thoughts on the Enneagram
• What eventually led Tom to finding value in and using the Enneagram
• How the Enneagram positively impacted Tom’s work and management approach + the start of the good movement trainings 
• The value in knowing your specific Enneagram type + the other types as well
• The importance of exploring self-awareness and understanding how you can affect other people 
• How the Enneagram can help decrease generational communication gaps + help you truly understand that not everyone views the world in the same way
• Why mental health is such a huge deal in agriculture + why it’s usually harder to ask for/get help when you’re in agriculture
• Applying the good movement principle to both people and animals + using the Enneagram to dramatically improve communication with those around you
