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!

    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!

    128. The Only Thing for Certain Is That We’re All Human

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about the only thing for certain is that we’re ALL human. “This isn’t the disaster you’re making it out to be.” That’s a real comment I saw online about the fires here in Nebraska. Yes, the same fires that, as of this recording, have burned over 700,000 acres AND came within miles of our home. I’ve seen people say things like, “the grass will grow back” or “fire promotes regrowth.” While yes, those things can be true, they completely miss the human side of what’s happening. The truth is, if you haven’t lived something like this, you can’t fully understand it. That’s exactly why we need more empathy. We need to take the time to FEEL with someone, even if we don’t fully understand what they’re going through. In this episode, I cover: How the recent Nebraska fires have caused real, ongoing devastationWhy certain comments are severely lacking empathyWhy you cannot fully understand a situation you haven’t livedPracticing more empathy + curiosity, even when you don’t fully understand someone else’s experienceRealizing we are ALL human and are doing the best we can Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    127. Anger, Shame, and Releasing Emotions with Caroline Nelson

    In today’s episode, rancher and business owner Caroline Nelson is here to talk about anger, shame, and releasing emotions. What started as burnout (in motherhood, business, and more) quickly turned into something deeper. Through that awareness came a pivotal shift: recognizing a lack of true worthiness. Not confidence or capability, but deep, internal worthiness. After that, everything began to change! Caroline and I also talk about the role of anger in healing (and why it’s not something to avoid), how shame can keep us stuck, the physical side of healing, what it actually looks like to start showing up for yourself, and more. This conversation is honest, layered, and FULL of moments that might make you pause and reflect on your own patterns. If you’ve ever struggled with anger, shame, or releasing emotions (yep, talking to myself here), you don’t want to miss this episode! In this episode, we cover: Caroline’s journey from burnout to healing + pushing through motherhood & business demandsWhy intellectualizing ≠ actually processing emotionsThe difference between confidence and true worthinessHow shame keeps us stuck + why anger can move us forwardWhat anger work looks like + how it builds self-trustRecognizing self-betrayal and people-pleasing patternsHow betrayal can be a catalyst for boundaries + self-worthSetting boundaries in real time (without over-explaining) + why this gets easierHow emotional healing shows up physically in the bodyThe link between stress, repressed emotions & physical symptomsLetting go of toxic positivity and allowing both/and emotionsWhy healing isn’t linear + how to respond with emotional maturity instead of reactivityViewing triggers + setbacks as data, NOT failureReducing numbing behaviors by increasing REAL connection Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

    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.

    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!
