Today I dig in a little bit on the subject of being "triggered".
I share 3 helpful steps I experimented with this week when I had to work through some huge triggers:
- 1. Give yourself space
- 2. Be curious
- 3. Write
- Which leads us to the biggest step in our healing...learning to advocate for ourselves.
At the end of the episode, I read a letter that I wrote to myself in the midst of feeling scared and triggered.

Today's episode is a bit challenging at the beginning due to the neighbor cows lamenting the loss of their babies, Zelle's determination to knock over the tripod, and every loud truck in MO driving past my house. Uge! Nevertheless, I persevered because I had a really important subject to talk about.

If you struggle with being triggered, this episode is for you. It is a permission that we all deserve - Truth to help us understand and embrace every part of ourselves.
This is my favorite podcast yet with my two partners, Nate and Jennifer, as we talk about how our relationship works.
We discuss:
- A recent article I read about when the term "heterosexual" was invented
- Why does it matter if we are queer or how we identify?
- The template we are handed when we marry as heterosexual
- The challenges and joys of being a non-monogamous "throuple"
- What really is normal?
- Are our thoughts really our own?
- Why Jennifer hates labels
- How have these changes affected how Nate perceives himself and has he been a bit "different" all along?

Today
But before I sing I talk a little about how the episode I wanted to
Check out the interview that Robin Douglass did with Resiliency coach
The phrase that keeps repeating in my head that Michelle said is "Challenges are opportunities for expansion."
"The Truth Awoke" by Abigail Hobbs
You showed up, and I shut out
The voices screaming deep inside
Betrayed by my own feelings
Religion stripped me of my rights
Years went by, I tried to cope
Convinced that it was I who was wrong
You played the game, played the part
And you strung my heart along
But the truth awoke: Time is up
Turns out, you are a fuck
And I won’t listen to your lies
You can’t fool me anymore
Gravity you can’t deny
Reality kicked down the door
Don’t show me your sad face
Cause I put your ass in its rightful place
Yeah don’t show me your sad face
Cause I put your ass in its place
Don’t tell me that you’re sorry
Forgiveness never did me well
You used your god to bring me shame
Poisoning me with fear of hell
Well, I’m done, and I don’t care
If you think that I’m a bitch
I found out, found my voice,
Stopped the train, made the switch
Cause the truth awoke, Time is up
Go pay the price to be a fuck
I’m no longer the me you brainwashed me to be
I locked you up, burned the key,
Now I’m living wild and free
Cause the truth awoke, Time is up
I am free and you are stuck

Today I take an uncommon approach for my podcast and I bring my electric piano into the corral to share a new song I wrote. :) I have never played piano for my horses so this episode is really special to see how much the horses loved the music. Definitely check out the video!!
But before I sing I talk a little about how the episode I wanted to record got sabotaged by my day turning upside down. I am learning a bit about "resiliency" from a recent podcast.
Check out the interview that Robin Douglass did with Resiliency coach Michelle Dickinson on the Coming Out Late Podcast episodes #98 and #99.
The phrase that keeps repeating in my head that Michelle said is "Challenges are opportunities for expansion."

My pond take-a-ways:
“It’s not what you saw that mattered; it was that you were looking.”
“If you have a specific thing you are looking for, you will miss seeing all the other things.”
Just look with an open heart. There are thriving opportunities everywhere.”
Another beautiful day in my corral to talk about how I am feeling in my heart with all the recent big changes in our family. I also share a story about kayaking my ponds last week and how it turned into an amazing experience filled with beautiful lessons for me. I hope you enjoy the stories and are inspired to find ways to fill your soul and find the little gifts life has already waiting for you.

Today we shake things up and do an interactive walk around my front pasture with Zelle!
In this “Trek to Connect” I learned:
To discard my fear of being messed up
I have a hard time not micromanaging my kids and I need to let
That my overthinking is making me tired
To let go of my worry that I am not capable of handling all the big changes
I need to take time to allow the answers to come
How grateful I am for the things Zelle teaches me
Zelle was my mirror today and I realized that I tend to burst from one thing to the next and carry stress and anxiety with me
Taking time to be a” human-being” instead of a “human-doing” can help ground me and give me time for my fears to subside
Balancing my life is not about not falling off; it's how I treat myself when I do lose my balance
Today’s session was really good for me. I hope you too find value in it.
