Good Movement Draws Good Movement

Terryn Drieling

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 communicate accordingly.  We don’t approach the aware, flighty cattle the same as we do the tame, docile cattle. We adjust ourselves, our energy, and approach, and communicate with each differently. These adjustments help us effectively draw good movement from each, which then draws good movement from the herd. But it starts with us. The same is true for humans. Good movement starts with us. Welcome to Good Movement Draws Good Movement, the podcast where farmers, ranchers, and rural folks can grow relationally through awareness, understanding, and effective communication. Hey, it’s me - T. I’m your host, and I, along with my guests, will be covering topics related to drawing good movement - things like self and social awareness, brain science, positive psychology, extending grace, and so much more.  We’ll share tools that can help you understand why you are the way you are, why others are the way they are, and how you can use that to step out of self-told lies with grace and compassion to draw good movement in conversations, relationships, and life in rural America.  Tune in every Tuesday and make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode! Let’s go draw good movement!

    126. What Is Anxiety and Why It’s Hard to Just “Calm Down”

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about what anxiety is and why it’s hard to just “calm down.” When anxiety shows up, it’s not just an emotion floating around randomly. It’s actually a survival response rooted in our nervous system, because our bodies are designed to protect us! What truly helps? SAFETY! When we feel safe, logic comes back online, and we’re able to think more clearly. If you need more support with anxiety and/or safety, and are feeling called to go deeper in your inner work, you can schedule a free 30-minute connection call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance. Don’t forget to mention “cast pod” when you book to receive 10% off! In this episode, I cover: What anxiety actually is + why we can’t simply “positive think” our way out of itHow Inside Out 2 offers a powerful visual example of how anxiety can take over our internal “control panel”Why anxiety is a survival response rooted in the nervous systemWhy phrases like “calm down” don’t help when someone is experiencing anxietyHow agriculture and rural life naturally bring uncertainty + can amplify anxietyWhy creating safety is the key to calming anxiety + helping logic come back onlinePractical ways to signal safety to your nervous systemWhy anxiety isn’t a flaw or glitch in the system Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    125. The First Step to Improved Communication

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about the first step to improved communication. We often jump straight to “What do I say?” or “How do I say this better?” But we bypass the root of it all: self-awareness. If we don’t understand how we’re wired, how our nervous system responds, and how our tone or energy is received, no amount of communication tools will truly “fix” it. Ultimately, improved and effective communication starts with US! If you’re ready to go deeper into the Good Movement Framework with tools and practical support, I’d love to have you join me over on my private podcast, The Draw! In this episode, I cover: Why communication “tools” can fail when the foundation is missingThe mistake of focusing on what to say instead of self-awarenessWhy self-awareness is understanding your wiring, triggers & nervous systemWhy self-awareness ≠ self-centerednessHow social awareness helps you notice body language, tone & energyIntegrating both self + social awareness for grounded, effective communicationWhy respect and regulation matter more than total agreementUnderstanding that even with awareness, some hard decisions may still follow Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    124. What It Looks Like to Truly Apologize

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to truly apologize. If the apology includes a “but,” it’s usually not a repair. It’s more like deflection and self-protection. If admitting mistakes didn’t feel safe when we were young, of course it’s going to feel hard now. Safety HAS to exist for honesty and accountability to grow! If this conversation resonates and you’d like to explore your own patterns around apologizing or admitting mistakes, I’d love to support you on your journey. You can schedule a free 30-minute 1:1 Good Movement Guidance call - don’t forget to mention “cast pod” for 10% off! In this episode, I cover: What my SM community polls revealed about emotional recognition & apologies in childhoodWhat a true apology is + why “I’m sorry, but…” isn’t real repairHow apologies can be used to deflect blame and avoid admitting mistakesWhy safety is essential for accountability and honest repairThe importance of modeling genuine apologies for our kidsEmbracing progress over perfection as we heal and do it differently Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    123. How Talking Kindly to Your Body Can Benefit Your Life

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about how talking kindly to your body can benefit your life. About halfway through this last year, I came across Heal Your Body by Louise Hay. It led me to her book You Can Heal Your Life, and while some of it may sound a little “woo,” something about it landed! Now, I’m not saying affirmations *magically* fix everything. However, I’ve noticed a difference in MY everyday life since I’ve been using them!' Of course, nothing is perfect. I still get sick, and I still have hard days. But I’m no longer comfortably numb. Acknowledging anger, sadness, and fear has changed the environment inside my body. It has created space for me to THRIVE, and I’m truly grateful for that! If you’ve been feeling called to go deeper into your own inner work and healing, I’d love to support you. You can schedule a free 30-minute call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance - make sure to mention “cast pod” so you’ll receive 10% off when you commit to 6 months! In this episode, I cover: Reflecting on the 1-year anniversary of my bilateral breast amputation + the emotional growth that has unfolded alongside physical healingMy discovery of Louise Hay’s work + the connection between emotions, self-talk & physical healthHow speaking kindly to my body shifted my experience with cold sores & sicknessThe daily affirmation I’ve been using for my bodyReal-life examples of my affirmations in actionHow moving from criticism & numbing to curiosity & compassion has allowed me to thrive Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    122. What Happens When We Step Closer Rather than Backing Away

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about what happens when we choose to step closer instead of pulling away. My curiosity recently led me to consume I Take My Coffee Black by Tyler Merritt. One of his quotes totally stopped me in my tracks when I heard it: “Distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy” (he credits Brian Lawrence). That one sentence captures SO much of what fuels misunderstanding (and what heals it). It’s a whole lot harder to stay angry, judgmental, or hateful toward someone when you actually get close to them. When we get curious and learn someone’s story, compassion naturally follows. Proximity doesn’t mean agreement - it means empathy, grace, and humanity! In this episode, I cover: How the book I Take My Coffee Black inspired a deeper reflection for meThe powerful idea that “distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy”How learning someone’s story makes it harder to judge or stay stuck in angerA personal example of how getting curious & stepping closer changed things for the betterWhy proximity doesn’t require agreement, but creates space for empathy & grace Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    121. A New Way to Grit Through with Victoria Mexcur

    In today's episode, I’m talking with licensed mental health therapist Victoria Mexcur about a new way to grit through. Trauma is often treated as a singular, heavy label, but it’s much more nuanced. It’s an experience that impacts the nervous system, creates mental loops, and can disconnect the mind and body in very individual ways. We dive into breaking stigma, repair, and why mental health is just as foundational as the land and animals we care so deeply for. This conversation is grounding, honest, and incredibly needed; I know it will meet you right where you are! In this episode, we cover: Victoria’s path into therapy + why she chose trauma workWhat trauma actually is + why it looks different for everyoneA reframe of “gritting through” that works WITH the body (instead of overriding it)How somatic experiencing & EMDR support nervous system regulationKey lessons from animals + Peter Levine’s workWhy traditional talk therapy isn’t always the right fit for rural & ag folksHow flexible, accessible therapy better supports rural life during busy seasonsUsing grit + a “get-er-done” mindset to reach out for support instead of going it aloneSimple starting tools for nervous system regulationWhy mental health is foundational to sustaining families, operations & long-term well-being Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    120. Why Is It So Hard to Admit Mistakes?

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about why it’s so hard to admit mistakes. I truly believe our willingness (or inability) to admit mistakes has a lot to do with our nervous systems and how they were shaped early on. If you grew up in a home where mistakes were met with grace, understanding, and direction, chances are it feels safer for you to own them now. But if mistakes were met with anger, shame, or punishment, your nervous system learned that it wasn’t safe to admit wrongdoing. This shows up everywhere these days - especially online. Mistakes are rarely met with curiosity or compassion anymore, but with harsh judgment and public shaming. If we genuinely want people to take responsibility (as well as ourselves), we HAVE to create safer spaces to be able to do so! In this episode, I cover: How our upbringing & early nervous system wiring shape our ability to admit mistakesThe role of modeling and imitation when we witness others deflect blame or avoid accountabilityWhy today’s online culture makes admitting mistakes feel increasingly unsafeHow to get curious when admitting a mistake feels HARDWays to engage with someone who struggles to admit mistakesHow Tom & I are modeling accountability + repair to help our kids w/admitting mistakes Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    119. What Might Be Under the Perfectionism, Shame, and Self-Loathing with Amber Trejo

    In today's episode, I’m talking to Amber Trejo, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in complex trauma and attachment, about what might be under the perfectionism, shame, and self-loathing. Amber explains how complex trauma often forms when there was never a true baseline of safety growing up, how, while it can be painful to realize we might hurt our kids, the repair matters FAR more than perfection, and so much more. Healing from complex trauma and things like perfectionism, shame, and self-loathing doesn’t start with “being better,” it starts with awareness, curiosity, and support. Whether that’s therapy, learning, or simply beginning to ask yourself gentler questions, please know you are not broken, and you are NOT alone! In this episode, we cover: Amber’s journey into understanding & working with complex traumaWhat complex trauma (C-PTSD) is + how growing up without a baseline of safety impacts the nervous systemThe key difference between PTSD and complex traumaHow emotional neglect often goes unrecognized, even in childhoods that felt “good”Why shame is central to complex trauma + how it often shows upHow complex trauma affects relationships, conflict & nervous system capacityWhy repair matters more than perfection in parentingHow to support yourself + loved ones when navigating complex trauma Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
