12:22

In today's episode, I'm talking about feeling without falling apart and how to start when it feels like too much. Because we've all been taught to push through, stay tough, and avoid being too much, but your emotional system doesn't shut off just because you ignore it. Naming your emotions without trying to fix them, noticing body cues, and even us…

Self-Reliance vs. Connection: What Actually Helps Us Heal 12:10

18d ago12:10

12:10

In today's episode, I'm talking about self-reliance vs. connection and what actually helps us heal. So many of us were raised to believe that needing help is a weakness or that slowing down to feel our emotions makes us soft. Healing in isolation might feel safe, but true transformation happens in connection, especially when we have someone to walk…

Emotions Aren’t the Problem - Avoiding Them Is 12:00

25d ago12:00

12:00

In today's episode, I'm talking about why emotions aren't the problem - avoiding them is. Emotions are meant to help, guide, and connect you. They're not an inconvenience (contrary to what you may believe) but are actually a BEAUTIFUL part of our design as humans! I know that feeling and connecting with your emotions can sound scary, but it is VITA…

A Lesson from Ted Lasso on Healing and Holding Two Things at Once 15:42

1M ago15:42

15:42

In today's episode, I'm talking about a lesson from Ted Lasso on healing and holding two things at once. As humans, we REALLY struggle with duality in our culture. We've been conditioned to think that everything is either/or and not ever both/and. It's crucial that you don't suppress your emotions, even when they feel uncomfortable. Those suppresse…

Healing Isn’t About Never Hurting Again 12:44

2M ago12:44

12:44

In today's episode, I'm talking about why healing isn't about never hurting again. Just like physical wounds, emotional healing requires time, protection, and intentional care. Even when you've worked through something, and you feel healed and closed, something is bound to open that wound back up from time to time! Setting boundaries and giving you…

Redefining 'I'm Good' - Feeling Every Emotion & Healing Deeply 19:36

2M ago19:36

19:36

In today’s episode, we’re redefining ‘I’m good’ and how feeling every emotion & healing deeply impacts you. So often, we think that feeling good means we’re never sad, worried, angry, etc., but that’s definitely not the case. Healing is never a one-and-done thing, and it’s not going to look the same for everyone. If you need some extra support on Y…

Why We Stay: Understanding the Pull of the Familiar, Even When It Hurts 12:32

2M ago12:32

12:32

In today's episode, we're talking about why we stay and the pull of the familiar, even when it hurts. As humans, we find comfort in familiarity. Our brains are wired for survival, and we LIKE what's comfortable and safe, even when it's actually the opposite of that. The pull of the familiar is SO strong, but it's not unbreakable. With curiosity, br…

How We’ve Navigated Expectations in Ranch Life and Marriage with Tom 20:20

3M ago20:20

20:20

In today's episode, Tom and I are talking about how we've navigated expectations in ranch life and marriage. We've learned that unspoken expectations are resentments waiting to happen.

12:15

In today's episode, I'm talking about cleaning the shop and why feeling your feelings gets worse before it gets better. Many of us have been little hoardy hoarders with our feelings for years. When you finally decide it's time to start the process of working through your emotions, not only are you feeling your emotions in the moment, but you're als…

Maintaining Your Fences: The Art of Healthy Boundaries 12:28

3M ago12:28

12:28

Healthy boundaries are essential for protecting ourselves and our relationships, but unhealthy boundaries can isolate us and keep us from facing reality.

11:53

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when pain finds you and a bit of a personal update on growth, healing, and hope.

The Gift of Pain: Why We Should Stop Ignoring It 15:32

4M ago15:32

15:32

"Pain isn't a bug; it's a feature." I first heard this quote from grief expert David Kessler on the Dr. John Deloney Show (give it a listen HERE if you want to check it out). This particular phrase hit me, and it really stuck with me. In today's episode, I'm talking about the gift of pain and why we should stop ignoring it. Pain is not an anomaly -…

Breaking the Stigma: Redefining Strength in Rural Communities 14:14

4M ago14:14

14:14

As someone who grew up in rural America (and is still there), I'm very familiar with the mindset that comes along with this way of life. We're raised to keep our emotions to ourselves, work hard, and push through, no matter WHAT. Talking about our feelings and emotions is unnecessary and makes us look weak. In today's episode, I'm talking about bre…

The Hard Truth About Emotions: You Gotta Feel Them All 8:21

5M ago8:21

8:21

In today’s episode, I want to share the hard truth about emotions because, well, you gotta feel them ALL. When it comes to emotions, we must understand that they themselves are not the problem, but rather, our resistance to actually feeling them is. If you’re someone who is used to numbing certain emotions, I really want you to get curious as to WH…

The Story You Don’t Know: Extending Grace Without Accepting Behavior 14:00

5M ago14:00

14:00

In today's episode, I'm talking about extending grace without accepting behavior. It's a universal truth that everyone has a reason for their actions - there is ALWAYS a why behind a behavior. Even when we don't know the whole truth (and we may never), we can choose to extend more grace. My challenge for you is to look for that story that you might…

Burning Daylight or Missing the Moment? Reclaiming Mindfulness 16:43

5M ago16:43

16:43

Recently, my son and I were out riding. He was fascinated with wild onions and even got off his horse to pick some! I was quick to tell him that we were burning daylight and we needed to get back to work. But as kids, mindfulness allows us to see things in a new light and believe in the possibility of change, and it's time that we find our way back…

Whose Side of the Fence Is That On? Navigating Responsibility in Relationships 14:45

5M ago14:45

14:45

In today's episode, I'm talking about navigating responsibility in relationships. These 'fences' in relationships represent important pieces like boundaries, emotional well-being, and the overall health of the relationship.

I hope this episod…

25:15

Guess who’s back on the podcast with me today?? If you guessed Tom... you nailed it! We’re talking about something that’s been on Tom’s mind for a while, and that is a formula-like a ‘plug the variables into your equation and get a solution’ type of formula. In today’s episode, we talk about why ‘feel’ matters more than formulas. This is applicable…

16:02

We’re talking about one of the hardest times to practice validation in this episode - during tough conversations.

14:25

Validation is a key piece in building stronger relationships and communicating more effectively. This is especially true in rural life, where emotions tend to go unspoken.

Validation vs. Agreement: Understanding the Difference and Why It Matters 14:14

7M ago14:14

14:14

In today’s episode, I talk about validation vs. agreement, and why understanding the difference matters.

Team Lift Your Life: The Importance of Connection and Sharing Struggles 8:25

8M ago8:25

8:25

Today’s episode is inspired by some recent events (which is typically my MO here anyway) - community and connection. I’ve heard (more times than I can count) the saying that is ‘it’s my burden to bear’ or ‘it’s my cross to carry’, when someone is struggling. Maybe you didn’t know this (or maybe it’s just a helpful reminder), but we are NOT meant to…

Where is the Why? 11:40

9M ago11:40

11:40

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been really bothered about our lack of ‘why’ - like, why are we just assuming we already know #allthethings, and not being more curious about what’s going on around us? Just like with a car that’s not running properly, it’s important to get to the root of the issue and actually fix what’s wrong, instead of letting i…

7:53

In today’s episode, I want to dig into my mind-blowing realization about emotions. When it comes to emotions, we must understand that emotions themselves are not the problem, but rather, our resistance to actually feeling them is. Emotions are very much like riding a roller coaster too (which my good friend Sheila shared here on the podcast); we ca…

12:33

Well...cue Rod Stewart, because I do wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger! In my recent episode about attachment and attunement (episode 38), I kind of left you hangin’ when I said I would have done some things differently - especially with parenting. After receiving some questions about what specifically I would have done differentl…

10M ago10:32

10:32

In today’s episode, I want to talk about attachment and attunement, and why we need BOTH of these to not only survive, but thrive. But...what do these words even mean?! Attachment is really the foundation upon which everything else in our brain is built, and attunement is our awareness and responsiveness to the needs of others. Our society is sever…

17:07

We had a pretty memorable experience that happened during our recent calving season (we were several brandings deep into the season of spring work at the time of this recording).

12M ago10:16

10:16

In today’s episode, I discuss why there’s nothing wrong with talking about how we really are. Sometimes...things just SUCK. We have to be able to acknowledge our feelings, and normalize sharing honest answers when someone asks us how we’re doing.
