In stockmanship (the art and science of handling cattle in a safe, effective, low-stress manner), we have this phrase . . . good movement draws good movement. It’s this thing that happens when we ask a small group of cattle, maybe a cow, or a pair to move out in a certain direction and their movement draws the whole herd into moving in the same direction. Good movement happens when we approach the cattle with a positive attitude, read and really listen to what they’re telling us, and communi ...

Some of the content matter and theories discussed can be dark but necessary. The intent is to get people to think critically again and have convers ...

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 ‘p…

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 tr…

Today’s episode is inspired by some recent events (which is typically my MO here anyway) - community and connection. I’ve heard (more times than I can count) the saying that is ‘it’s my burden to bear’ or ‘it’s my cross to carry’, when someone is struggling. Maybe you didn’t know this (or maybe it’s just a helpful reminder), but we are NOT meant to…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been really bothered about our lack of ‘why’ - like, why are we just assuming we already know #allthethings, and not being more curious about what’s going on around us? Just like with a car that’s not running properly, it’s important to get to the root of the issue and actually fix what’s wrong, instead of letting i…

In today’s episode, I want to dig into my mind-blowing realization about emotions. When it comes to emotions, we must understand that emotions themselves are not the problem, but rather, our resistance to actually feeling them is. Emotions are very much like riding a roller coaster too (which my good friend Sheila shared here on the podcast); we ca…

Well...cue Rod Stewart, because I do wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger!

After receiving some questions about what specifically I would have done differentl…

In today’s episode, I want to talk about attachment and attunement, and why we need BOTH of these to not only survive, but thrive. But...what do these words even mean?!

In today's episode, I’m talking about something that's vital regarding communication, relationships, and good movement; it’s also something that gets overlooked, and just gets a bad rap sometimes.

We had a pretty memorable experience that happened during our recent calving season (we were several brandings deep into the season of spring work at the time of this recording). During this particular branding, some of the panels opened up, and quite a few remaining calves (along with a couple of cows) got loose, running out into the pasture. I ma…

However, I also know this proces…

In today’s episode, I discuss why there’s nothing wrong with talking about how we really are. Sometimes...things just SUCK. We have to be able to acknowledge our feelings, and normalize sharing honest answers when someone asks us how we’re doing. We shouldn’t feel like we need to sugarcoat our responses in order to appear like we have it all togeth…

At the time of this recording, we’re officially halfway through calving season, and at the tail end of the school year, so alllllll the things are going on!

Tom and I are here today to talk about a situation we just experienced with our cows - you could say it was rather...frustrating. We’ve been practicing low stress stockmanship for almost two decades; it’s rare that we have to reach out to others for support, but in this case, we knew that was the best option for us to move forward. In today’s episo…

In today’s episode, I talk about how much positive it takes to counter one negative.

In today’s episode, Tom and I discuss how we prepare for busy seasons, and really, how we continue practicing open communication during calving season. We bounced around with several different topics in this episode, from putting out fires (literally), to moving cows, and communicating with each other through it all. Ultimately, we want to remind y…

While I talked about how we typically approach emotions in rural America in episode 25, I didn’t get into what emotions are, or what their specific purpose is.
