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!

    148. What Happens When We Ask More Than We State

    We talk a lot about curiosity and honest questions here on the podcast. But…sometimes, the best reminders come from seeing those tools work in everyday life. In today’s episode, I’m talking about what happens when we ask more than we state. Recently, I had a couple of conversations that reminded me just how much farther we can get when we ask more than we state (especially when frustration is involved). Our emotions can give us valuable information and move us toward action without becoming the way we communicate with others. When we pause long enough to ask an honest question, we create room for information, understanding, and constructive conversation. We may not always get the outcome we want, but asking more than we state can help us move the needle. Sometimes, one thoughtful question is all it takes!

    147. The Danger In - "You Can't Hurt My Feelings, I Work with My Family"

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about the danger in “you can’t hurt my feelings - I work with my family.” This is often a sign that we've learned to disconnect from our own pain. When we normalize harsh words and emotional wounds, we normalize unhealthy relationships. Over time, we convince ourselves that being hurt is just part of the job (or culture). Numbness doesn't mean we're okay, though - it simply means we've stopped noticing the bleeding. The cost of that mindset reaches far beyond hurt feelings. It affects our families, communities, and even the future of agriculture. Ultimately, real change (and good movement) doesn't begin with everyone else - it begins with us. In this episode, I cover: Why harsh words shouldn't be normalized as part of family cultureWhy numbness is NOT the same as strengthThe disproportionately high suicide rates among farmers & ranchersHow we can help reverse this harmful rhetoric Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    146. Slowing Down Without Feeling Overwhelmed by Racing Thoughts and Emotions

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about slowing down without feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts and emotions. For years, I believed the safest thing to do was push difficult emotions down. But feelings don't disappear simply because we ignore them. They stay with us, often showing up in our relationships, reactions, and even our physical health. Learning to acknowledge those emotions (rather than numb them) is an essential part of healing + living more fully! The good news? You don't have to unpack everything at once. Just like training a young horse or building strength over time, emotional resilience grows with consistent practice. Choose grace and compassion, and trust that your capacity will grow with time. In this episode, I cover: Why unfelt emotions don't just “disappear” + what they can show up asSimple analogies to help with growing your capacity & feeling your feelingsWhy slowing down begins with compassion & grace for yourselfCreating a safe space and/or finding a safe person to share your feelings withStarting super slow + really acknowledging your emotionsWhy feeling difficult emotions allows you to fully experience joy + happinessUnderstanding that healing can happen when you’re in community Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    145. What to Do When Someone Says Something Stupid

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about what to do when someone says something stupid. One of the questions I hear most often when teaching about validation is, "But what if I don't agree with what they're saying”? It's an honest question, and one that gets to the heart of why validation can feel very challenging. Validation isn't about deciding who's right or wrong. It's about recognizing the humanity behind what someone is feeling. No, we don't have to agree with another person's viewpoint to ask thoughtful questions, acknowledge their emotions, or create space for connection. Curiosity doesn't erase our own beliefs - it simply helps us communicate with more compassion. In this episode, I cover: The validation exercise I used in my recent Good Movement workshopWhy the most helpful response can simply be your presenceHow every perspective is shaped by unique life experiencesWhy you can validate someone's feelings without validating misinformationWhat validation really is + why feelings are ALWAYS validHow validation can lead to stronger communication + deeper relationships Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    144. The Sticks and Stones Saying... Yeah It's Crap

    Many of us grew up repeating the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." While it may have been intended to build resilience, I've come to believe it's simply NOT true. In today’s episode, I’m talking about why that saying is crap. The words we hear, and the ones we tell ourselves, shape what we believe and how we experience the world. The encouraging news? Those stories aren't permanent. Through neuroplasticity, we can build new pathways and choose thoughts that better serve us. If you've been carrying thoughts that no longer serve you, know that change IS possible. In this episode, I cover: How words shape our thoughts, beliefs, and reality + how repeated thoughts create permanent neural pathwaysHow limiting beliefs can be rewritten through neuroplasticityChanging your thoughts that you practice every day + pairing with grace & self-compassionPersonal examples of changing limiting beliefs in everyday lifeWhy releasing resentment starts with changing the story you tell yourselfHow small shifts in thinking can create lasting transformation Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    143. Why Self-Awareness Is Important and Also Sucks

    Self-awareness is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, and also one of the hardest. In today’s episode, I’m talking about why self-awareness is important (and also sucks). As we begin doing inner work, we often become painfully aware of habits, reactions, and patterns we'd rather not see. It can feel uncomfortable, and yeah, even a little discouraging. But becoming aware of those parts of ourselves isn't the goal. The goal is to learn to understand them with curiosity, rather than judgment. When we approach ourselves with compassion rather than shame, self-awareness becomes less about “fixing” ourselves and more about understanding ourselves. The good news? Self-awareness isn't something we're born with - it’s something we can practice. The process may feel uncomfortable at first, but with grace and patience, greater awareness leads to greater healing, healthier relationships, and the kind of good movement that begins with us! In this episode, I cover: Why self-awareness often feels uncomfortable at firstHow self-awareness is different from self-judgmentHow unhelpful behaviors often begin as protective strategies + choosing to get curious when you notice theseWhy self-awareness is the first step toward good movement & lasting changeSimple ways you can grow your self-awareness Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    142. The Unhelpful Things We Heard as Kids and What to Say Instead

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about the unhelpful things we heard as kids, and what we can say instead. As parents and caregivers, it's natural to want to fix, stop, or minimize big emotions. But feelings aren't problems to solve - they’re signals asking to be acknowledged. Rather than shutting emotions down, we can create space for them by staying grounded, validating what our children are experiencing, and reminding them that their feelings are never too big for us. And no - validating emotions doesn't mean allowing destructive behavior. Children need both compassion and safety. When we consistently offer both, we build trust and teach them that all feelings are welcome (even when certain actions are not)! Parenting isn't about getting it right 100% of the time. It's about showing up with humility, extending ourselves grace, and repairing when we miss the mark. In this episode, I cover: Common childhood phrases that can unintentionally dismiss emotionsWhy children need to feel safe, seen, and heardHow to validate feelings while holding healthy boundariesHelpful ways to support your kids when they’re having “big” emotionsWhy it’s never too late to change how you parentWhy grace + repair matter more than you think Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    Every once in a while, it’s fun to switch things up. In today’s episode, the tables have turned because Tom is back as the host!
