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!

    139. Why All Feelings Are Valid + the Purpose Emotions Serve

    In today's episode, I'm talking about why all feelings are valid + the purpose emotions serve. I wanted to revisit this conversation because they are super important, and EVERY single one of them matters! When we learn to view emotions as signals instead of problems, we can begin working with them, rather than against them! When we pause, make space for our feelings, and listen to the information they provide, we create opportunities for healing instead of harm. If you need more help with learning to work with your emotions (instead of against them), I would be honored to support you inside my 1:1 Good Movement Guidance!

    138. Book Review of “How to Deal with Your ____ So Your Kids Don’t Have To" by Eli Harwood

    In today’s episode, I’m doing a book review of How to Deal with Your ____ So Your Kids Don’t Have To by Eli Harwood. One of the things I loved most about this book is the reminder that good movement truly starts with US. Honestly, it’s not about perfection - it’s about growing our capacity to hold our own emotions, so we’re not unintentionally passing them on. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to better process your emotions, respond instead of react, or better support the people you love without carrying old patterns into your relationships, this one is a worthwhile read! If you enjoyed this episode and found it helpful, I’d love to hear from you. We might have to make book reviews a regular thing around here! In this episode, I cover: Why this book stood out as a top recommendation for beginning inner workHow processing our own emotions impacts parenting, relationships & everyday interactionsThe connection between emotional capacity and “good movement starts with us”The book’s practical structureWhy the encyclopedia-style format makes it easy to revisit specific struggles when neededMy personal favorite featuresWhy this book earned a full 10/10 recommendation Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    137. When Well-Meaning is Actually Dismissive

    Sometimes, the people who love us most say things with the very best intentions. Unfortunately, they can still land in a way that feels painful. In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when well-meaning is actually dismissive. Through experiences like losing my dad, navigating cancer, and living through devastating fires, I've become more aware of how quick we are to search for silver linings or make someone feel better. At the end of the day, people don't always need us to have the "perfect" words. They need us to sit beside them, truly listen, and say, "I see you." If this conversation resonates and you're 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 1:1 Good Movement Guidance. Make sure to mention "castpod" when you book to receive 10% off! In this episode, I cover: Why “well-meaning” responses can sometimes feel dismissiveCommon phrases that unintentionally gloss over grief or hard emotionsWhy validation matters more than silver linings in difficult momentsThe reminder that multiple experiences & perspectives can both be trueWhy we don’t get to choose our feelingsHow our own relationship with emotions shapes how we respond to othersRecognizing the urge to fix, solve, or rush someone toward feeling better + what to do insteadWhy holding space, listening & simply being present matters SO muchWhy others need your presence more than “perfect words” Make sure to hit subscribe/follow 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!

    132. Disaster Trauma Recovery + Processing Grief with Victoria Mexcur

    In today's episode, licensed mental health therapist Victoria Mexcur is back to talk about disaster trauma recovery and processing grief. This conversation feels particularly timely after the recent fires here in Nebraska, and everything we’re still experiencing in the aftermath. While we focus a lot on the fires, this conversation applies to all kinds of situational trauma (i.e., loss, accidents, natural disasters, and other life-changing events). 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!
