Dawn Marie discusses the importance of self-awareness to engage more effectively with the world. She shares some revelations from her ongoing journey towards self-discovery, stressing the need to understand personal motivations and behaviors rather than focusing on perceptions of others.

Key tools in her exploration include the Enneagram and human design system. Dawn Marie also explores the value of understanding personal cycles, drawing analogies to her farming experience. Finally, she underscores the urge for a deeper understanding of oneself in making more informed, healthy decisions regarding personal and professional relationships.

Life Balance and the Power of Seasons: Overcoming Perfectionism and Embracing Progress.

In this episode of 'Harvesting Her Way', I talk extensively about overcoming the concern of feeling like you can’t have it all and managing life balance. I share my personal experiences, discuss the concept of adjusting to different seasons in life, and suggest ways to make space for what one desires.

There is the importance of writing down fears and strategizing on how to overcome them. Women are faced with deep wounds from societal pressures. Releasing those “thoughts” out on paper makes us realize how untrue those are, we can also see patterns that some of what we’re going through are seasons in life and how we are capable of many great things at once.

In episode 78 of Harvesting Her Way, I share my thoughts and strategies for the new year under my theme, 'Living on Purpose'.

In this episode, we cover:

This year I’m focusing on organizing time better, stepping away from scattered energy, having curiosity in health, and spending more time with family.

Having curiosity in personal growth and its vitality in learning more about herself and the world. I encourage listeners to manifest their goals and set a daily, weekly, or monthly intention, preferably backed by a vision board.

Terryn Drieling is our guest today! Terryn lives and works on a large ranch with her family and also helps other farmers and ranchers improve their communication.

She talks about how she uses the principles of 'good movement', a term used in the context of low-stress cattle handling, and applies these principles in human interaction to improve communication and relationships.

Terryn shares her story of feed yard management to ranching, dealing with different personality types in agriculture, and the powerful role of self-awareness in individual growth.

She also discusses how she uses the Enneagram system during her one-on-one coaching and group training sessions for ag industry individuals.

In episode 76 of 'Harvesting Her Way', I, your host Dawn Marie, discuss the theme of embracing one's intuition & shedding societal ‘shoulds’. Societal pressures often make us do things we 'should' do, rather than the things that we 'could' do and want to do. Referencing the book 'Find Your F*ck Yeah', by Alexis Rockley, I emphasize the importance of intrinsically driven motivations and re-evaluating responsibilities that may be causing unnecessary stress.

Also covered are the different expectations and tasks we take on: roles as mothers and wives. There is so much importance in delegating tasks, identifying internal vs external motivators, and embracing your unique self.
