In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to get unstuck from dread and negativity. The first step is acknowledging the suck. For a long time, I was really good at finding the silver lining, telling myself things could be worse, or jumping straight into gratitude. But dismissing the hard stuff didn't make those feelings disappear. Now? I allow myself to acknowledge what's difficult + name what I'm feeling before looking for the good. We can hold both the hard AND the beautiful at the same time. While we can't fix everything happening in the world, we CAN create good movement within ourselves, our families, and our communities! If you're feeling stuck in the quicksand of negativity and dread, I'd love to support you moving forward. Schedule a free 30-minute call with me, and let’s talk about 1:1 Good Movement Guidance.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to handle your kid’s big emotions. What do we say when they're angry, crying, covering their ears, or emoting loudly? Everything in us wants to tell them to just stop, and it can be so HARD. While every kid and situation is different, there's one approach I keep coming back to: validate, stay present, and help them regulate. Validation doesn't mean I always agree with what they’re doing. But I CAN notice what they're feeling, name it, and remind them that their emotions aren't too big for me. Sometimes, their big emotions bump against our own wounds, experiences, or unmet needs. Getting curious about those places and learning to give ourselves what we need can make their emotions feel less abrasive + help us show up for our kids in the ways they need! In this episode, I cover: The importance of validating a child's emotions + why it doesn’t mean we’re agreeing with themUsing presence + intentional breathing to help kids co-regulateHolding boundaries while still acknowledging big emotionsFinding safe, less-destructive ways to move anger through the bodyIncluding our kids in conversations about what helps them feel supportedGetting curious about WHY our kids' emotions can trigger usMeeting our own needs so we can better show up for theirs Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about feeling lonely in your marriage + how to go from roommate mode to reconnection. I’d be lying if I told you Tom and I have marriage completely figured out now. We still disagree, still trigger each other, and still fight (sometimes). The difference today? We’re coming to those moments with awareness, practices, and experience we didn't have before. Good, clear communication doesn't just happen. It requires self-awareness + a willingness to understand what's happening within ourselves BEFORE we can communicate well with someone else! Those hard seasons became balance points - moments when something had to move or change direction. They’re part of why I created Balance Point, a six-month group experience for rural women who feel lonely, emotionally depleted, or like they're everyone's last priority. It begins October 20th, 2026, and offers a safe, confidential space to reconnect with yourself + build healthier relationships alongside women who truly understand rural life! In this episode, I cover: How Tom and I found ourselves living in “roommate mode”Why poor communication can trigger our fight-or-flight responsesThe inner work that changed how I showed up in our relationshipWhy we can't force someone else to change or do their own workHow good movement within ourselves can create movement in our relationshipsRecognizing the “balance points” where something has to changeCreating connection and healthier relationships without sacrificing ourselves Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about why healing isn’t linear and other things I’d wish I’d known. Doing the work doesn't mean you'll never bump into an old wound again - you definitely will. But maybe it doesn't hurt quite as long, or you recognize what's happening sooner. You have new information, more capacity, and different tools to move through it. Healing can also be messy and super slow. As much as we might want to rush through the uncomfortable parts and just feel better already, healing is more of a slow burn. Most importantly, your healing has to be for YOU. When we draw good movement within ourselves, it naturally ripples into our closest relationships and continues outward from there! In this episode, I cover: Why healing isn't linear + old wounds may still hurt when we bump into themWhy healing can get messy before things begin to feel clearerWhy emotional healing is a slow burnWhy your healing ultimately has to be something you choose for yourselfHow doing our own inner work creates a ripple effect in our relationships Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about what to do when you don’t know what you feel. I’ve definitely been there. For a long time, I was comfortably numb and disconnected from what was happening inside my body. It wasn't until I experienced grief I could no longer hold that I really began learning how to feel again. Our bodies often speak before our minds do. But when we've spent years putting our heads down, powering through, and getting the job done, we become disconnected from the sensations our bodies are sending us. When we allow ourselves to feel the emotions we've spent years avoiding, we aren't only making room for anger, sadness, or grief. We're growing our capacity to experience joy, happiness, and excitement more fully, too! In this episode, I cover: Why it’s okay if you don't know what you're feeling yetHow a simple body scan can help build awareness of physical sensationsNoticing sensations in the body + connecting them to specific emotionsWhy emotions are simply informationHow curiosity helps us understand what our emotions are telling us Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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!

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!

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!
