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!

    152. How We Really Toughen Kids Up

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about how we really toughen kids up. Honestly, my own thoughts around this have shifted dramatically in recent years as I've done my own inner work + learned more about brain development, psychology, and emotions. Whether a child is taught to stop crying because they'll get a reward OR because they're afraid of what will happen if they don't, the result looks surprisingly similar. A kid learns to stop showing emotion without ever learning how to process it. Fear-based compliance might make a child quieter in the moment, but what’s that actually teaching them? I want to raise resilient, tough kids who can handle what life throws at them, too. I've just had a HUGE change of heart about how we get them there! In this episode, I cover: Why my perspective on “kids these days” has changedHow different parenting extremes can create surprisingly similar outcomesGetting honest about what we actually needed as kidsWhat it really looks like to raise tough, resilient kidsWhy kids need a softer place to land when they’re experiencing life lessons Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    151. We Don't Know How to Hold Grief

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about how we don’t know how to hold grief. Over the last three years, I've experienced loss and uncertainty in ways I never anticipated. After my dad died suddenly in 2023, I knew I couldn't simply shove the grief down as I had before. Shortly before his death, I heard something that has stayed with me ever since: we don't know how to hold mystery, and we don't know how to hold grief. So, I found support and began learning how to experience grief (rather than run from it). We can learn to sit with grief, and allow it to deepen our compassion, love, and capacity for joy. THAT is part of being fully alive, too! In this episode, I cover: Why so many of us feel uncomfortable with griefWhy avoiding grief doesn't make it disappearLearning to hold both grief & uncertaintyHow seeking support changed my relationship with lossHow making room for sadness can deepen our capacity for joyWhy bright-siding can diminish someone's experience of griefBefriending grief instead of trying to numb or escape itThe secret to being fully alive Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    150. Talking Kids, Control, and Changing Minds with Tom

    Tom is back for episode 150! In today’s episode, we’re talking kids, control, and changing minds. One thing that has drastically changed through our own inner work? How we respond to our kids’ emotions. We want them to know they can tell us when something we've said or done hurts them. We don't always get it right, but we want to listen, repair when needed, and give them room to feel, rather than teaching them to shut those feelings down. Realizing we don't have to stay exactly who we've always been is one of the greatest gifts of doing this inner work. Growth asks us to recognize that we may not have the whole picture AND stay curious enough to keep learning. Also, because this is episode 150, I'm giving one listener a container of WonderCow colostrum plus a one-hour Good Movement Guidance call with me!

    149. Were You Taught Not to Cry? It Might Be Time to Unlearn That

    In today’s episode, I’m diving into why you were taught not to cry, and why it might be time to unlearn that. For many of us, the message that crying isn't okay started early. Maybe you heard phrases like, "Dry it up," or "I'll give you something to cry about.” Maybe you grew up believing strength meant keeping your emotions hidden, or never letting your kids see you struggle. But hiding our emotions doesn't necessarily protect the people around us. It can actually reinforce the idea that tears are something to be ashamed of. Our tears have a purpose, and they need somewhere to go. You don't need to apologize for your tears, and you don't need to judge them. Sometimes, allowing yourself to cry is simply part of allowing yourself to be fully HUMAN. In this episode, I cover: Why so many of us apologize for cryingWhy hiding emotions doesn't necessarily protect our children3 types of tears + the purposes they serveThe unique benefits of emotional tearsWhat repressing emotions can really lead toChoosing to cry when YOU feel comfortable + also not holding them in forever Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    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.

    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!
