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!

    136. Guilt and Shame... What's the Difference?

    Something that so many people quietly carry (but often struggle to name) is the difference between guilt and shame. While those two emotions are commonly used interchangeably, they are actually VERY different. Understanding that difference can completely shift the way we move through hard emotions, relationships, and healing! In today’s episode, I’m diving into guilt and shame, and how they’re different. My hope is that this conversation reminds you that you are not bad, broken, or “weak” for being human. If you’re struggling with guilt and shame and are ready to go deeper on your healing journey, I’d love to support you. You can schedule a free 30-minute call with me to talk about what 1:1 Good Movement Guidance could look like for you. Make sure to mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off! In this episode, I cover: The difference between guilt and shameWhy guilt can lead to accountability, repair, and growthHow shame is often rooted in outside criticism, expectations & cultural messagingThe role “should” and “shouldn’t” play in reinforcing shameWhy needing help is not a weaknessHow shame thrives in secrecy + loses power when brought into the lightPractical ways to move through both guilt and shameWhy boundaries help protect your peace and emotional well-beingLearning to recognize whether you’re carrying guilt for an action or shame about yourself Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    135. Empathy... What Does It Mean?

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about empathy and what it really means. It’s often talked about like it’s automatically a good thing. But honestly, empathy can be both a superpower and something that quietly wears us down when we aren’t intentional with it. As someone who has always felt deeply for other people, I’ve had to learn the difference between holding space for someone and trying to carry what was never mine to carry in the first place. Thankfully, inner work helped me recognize where healthy empathy ends and emotional over-responsibility begins. If you’re ready to dive deeper and do the “inner work” I talk about here often, I’d love to connect with you. Schedule a free 30-minute call with me, and let’s talk about 1:1 Good Movement Guidance. Don’t forget to mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off! In this episode, I cover: What empathy actually is (and what it isn’t)Why empathy can feel both beautiful and exhaustingThe difference between supporting someone vs. carrying their emotionsHow empathy can become unhealthy without self-awarenessWhat the “hold the herd” analogy entailsWhy emotional safety creates a stronger connectionHow exposure to different perspectives helps grow empathyThe importance of asking honest questionsWhy we should second-guess the stories we create about othersLearning to sort what’s yours to feel and what isn’t Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    134. How to Help Someone Who Is Grieving or Going Through a Lot

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to help someone who is grieving or going through a lot. I had a powerful moment from a recent Good Movement workshop, where one simple exercise (listening without trying to fix) felt surprisingly hard. Honestly, that makes sense. So many of us have been conditioned to respond with solutions, encouragement, or perspective. When someone is grieving or struggling, though, those responses can unintentionally feel dismissive instead of supportive. I hope this episode allows you to rethink how we can show up for others and for ourselves. Being seen, heard, and cared for in those moments is where the REAL healing begins! If you’re ready to go deeper and do this inner work for yourself, I’d love to connect with you. You can schedule a free 30-minute call with me to talk about what 1:1 Good Movement Guidance could look like for you. Make sure to mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off! In this episode, I cover: Why listening without fixing can feel so uncomfortable + why it mattersHow well-meaning phrases can unintentionally dismiss someone’s painThe power of simple, silent presence when someone is grievingWhat it actually looks like to “bear witness” to someone’s experienceHow validation helps people feel seen, heard, and supportedWhy we don’t get to decide the magnitude of someone else’s “hard”The tendency to avoid our own pain + why sitting with it matters Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    133. What Boundaries Actually Require

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about what boundaries actually require. Honestly, boundaries can be tricky. They often come with guilt, second-guessing, and that uncomfortable feeling that we might be letting someone down. Whether it’s saying no or stepping back, it can feel selfish, even when deep down we know it’s what we need. The truth is, boundaries aren’t about shutting others out; they’re about tuning into ourselves. They require self-awareness, honesty, and the willingness to listen to what our emotions are trying to tell us! Boundaries are the “fences” we put in place around our time, energy, and capacity. When we honor our boundaries, they create space for healthier, honest connections. They truly are one of THE kindest things we can do for ourselves + the people around us! In this episode, I cover: What boundaries can bring up + what they requireWhy boundaries are decisions for YOU (not rules for others)How boundaries define what’s acceptable for your time, energy & capacityWhy ignoring your limits leads to resentment and disconnectionHow holding boundaries creates healthier + more honest relationshipsWhy boundaries are one of the kindest things you can do for yourself & others Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

This conversation feels particularly timely after the recent fires here in Nebraska, and everything we’re still experiencing in the aftermath.

This episode is a reminder to please be patient with yourself and keep checking in on the people around you. Whether you’re currently in disaster trauma recovery or processing grief, please remember - all of this takes time. You do NOT have to rush your way through it! In this episode, we cover: Why the impact of trauma often unfolds in phasesHow the “heroic” phase after a crisis can temporarily mask grief through busyness + adrenalineWhy the hardest part often comes after support and attention begin to fadeWhy survivor’s guilt is often more accurately described as survivor’s shameRealizing you were doing the best you could with what you had in that momentKey signs to notice when someone is strugglingWhy nightmares, hypervigilance, crying & stress responses are normal after traumaWhy crying is one of the body’s natural ways of processing + releasing emotionUnderstanding that recovery is not linear + healing can take longer than you thinkWhat truly matters in the recovery process Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    131. Fire 2.0 Recalling the Nebraska Ashby and Minor Fires

    There are moments in life that split time into before and after, and this is one of them. In today’s episode, Tom and I are recalling the Nebraska Ashby and Minor Fires. What stands out most during this time? The PEOPLE. Strangers were protecting each other and showing up simply because someone needed help. It’s humbling in a way that’s hard to explain, until you go through it! But experiences like this don’t end when the fire is out. They stay with you and need to be processed (slowly and honestly). If there’s anything I’m holding onto right now, it’s the reminder that we are NOT meant to carry this alone! In this episode, we cover: The Ashby and Minor fires + their start just hours after we thought the worst had passedWhy survival mode takes over when in crisisWhy evacuating with kids, animals & uncertainty is never something you’re fully prepared forWhy fighting the fire vs. supporting from afar both carry weight in different waysHow time completely blurs during traumaThe power of community showing up in incredible waysHow strangers stepped in to protect homes, land, and livesWhy the impact doesn’t simply “end” when the fire is outWhy PTSD & nervous system responses are real (for adults and kids)Getting support because you don’t have to carry something like this alone Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    130. When It Hits You Like a Ton of Bricks

    In the span of just a few weeks, everything has changed. In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it feels like when “it” hits you like a ton of bricks. While everything looks okay right now, that’s not truly the case. The work continues because life keeps moving. What I’m really worried about is what will happen when things finally slow down, and everyone’s nervous systems are no longer in survival mode. Whether you’ve lived through something as visible as a wildfire, or something quieter (but still very heavy), you are NOT meant to go at it alone, friend. There is zero shame in asking for help, and honestly, it might be one of the most important things you can do for yourself + those around you! In this episode, I cover: How the Ashby Fire started suddenly and moved fast + how close it came to our homeMy gratitude for the safety of our home, animals, first responders & communityHow we’re still in survival mode, even though things may “look” okayWhy trauma doesn’t always hit in the momentMy experience with anxiety and physical symptomsTools I used to start my healing journey in 2020Why I knew I couldn’t carry everything alone & chose to seek support after losing my dad in 2023Understanding there is zero shame in asking for help because we’re NOT meant to do this alone Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    129. Living Through the Largest Fire in Nebraska History

    In today’s episode, Tom and I are sharing what it’s like living through the largest fire in Nebraska history. This isn’t a polished or perfectly processed story. It’s still super fresh, and in many ways, we’re still IN it. What started as concern quickly turned into evacuation and long days of uncertainty. All of that turned into the very REAL possibility of losing not just land, but livelihood, animals, and a way of life that runs deep in this part of the country. This conversation isn’t about tying things up in a neat bow. We want to give an honest look into an experience that SO many in our state have been living, and also, create space for both gratitude and grief to exist at the same time. In this episode, we cover: The rapid shift from awareness to evacuation as the fires escalatedWhat those days looked like in real timeThe reality of protecting animals, land, and livelihood under pressureExperiencing the fire from 2 perspectivesThe emotional weight of leaving home without knowing what you’ll return toThe physical & mental toll of long days on the front linesWhy “it will grow back” overlooks the real human impactHolding both gratitude AND grief at the same timeThe adrenaline response + what happens when it wears offProcessing an experience that’s still fresh + the importance of empathy in crisis Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
