10d ago30:15

30:15

In today's episode, Matt Gasseling and I are discussing healing, fatherhood, and finding self-worth. Doing the work for you can be difficult.

Both-And: An Exercise for Holding the Crappy and the Happy 15:56

17d ago15:56

15:56

In today's episode, I'm sharing an exercise for holding the crappy and the happy, because life is often BOTH. It's called the "fart and the flower" exercise! It's such a great way to name the hard and the good, all in one breath. This practice is all about emotional honesty and balance. It's a way to remind yourself that you're allowed to feel both…

“I’m Just Complaining” & Other Things We Say to Downplay What We Feel 12:31

24d ago12:31

12:31

In today's episode, I'm talking about the phrase "I'm just complaining" and other things we say to downplay what we feel. We've been conditioned to downplay our emotions, especially in rural life and agricultural spaces, where strength is often measured by how much you can "grit and bear." Vulnerability gets squashed by shame. It's time we flip the…

1M ago35:13

35:13

You Don’t Need Their Apology to Heal 9:26

1M ago9:26

9:26

In today's episode, I'm talking about why you don't need their apology to heal. We crave the apology so deeply because we're HUMAN. We're wired for connection and closure as humans; our hearts want to be seen, known, and heard. When we believe that healing is only possible after someone else makes it right, we unknowingly tie our freedom to someone…

Not All ‘Sorrys’ Are Equal - What Apologies Are and What They're Not 17:31

2M ago17:31

17:31

In today's episode, I'm talking about what apologies are and what they're not. Apologies are an act of repair - they don't undo what happened or wipe it all clean, but they CAN mend the fabric of a relationship. Receiving apologies can feel foreign, too. You can receive an apology while still honoring your pain and holding boundaries. You don't hav…

What Grace Is (And What It’s Not) 15:57

2M ago15:57

15:57

In today's episode, I'm talking about what grace is (and what it's not). We hear "give yourself grace" or "extend grace to others" alllll the time. But grace isn't pretending everything's fine or letting people treat us poorly. It's not stuffing your feelings to keep the peace. Real grace tells the TRUTH, holds boundaries, and stays rooted in kindn…

In today's episode, I'm sharing some details about the tragic death of Bailey Koch and her family and talking about the dangerous comfort of judgment and responding to tragedy with humanity. While I get the insti…

Apologies Aren’t Weak - They’re Repair 10:48

2M ago10:48

10:48

In today's episode, I'm talking about why apologies aren't weak - they're repair. I recently apologized to my middle daughter for a moment that happened nearly seven years ago. It's something that I felt the need to circle back to, especially since we've been talking about the power of showing our kids that we're human. Apologies aren't weak - taki…

Let Them (See You Feel): Raising Resilient Kids by Being Real in Front of Them 11:54

2M ago11:54

11:54

In today's episode, I'm talking about raising resilient kids by being real in FRONT of them. When we model how to walk through the tough seasons and come out on the other side, we give our kids the tools they need to do the same! They don't need a perfect parent; they need a present one who shows them what it looks like to fall, get back up, and ke…

Reflexes, Ropes, and Rewiring Your Response 11:11

3M ago11:11

11:11

In today's episode, I'm talking about reflexes, ropes, and rewiring your response. I'm sharing a sweet story about my son, his little sister, and the rope that led to him unintentionally tripping her (she's fine, and they both laughed about it after!) to demonstrate how your nervous system works. When you've been through hardship, trauma, or even t…

Feeling Without Falling Apart: How to Start When It Feels Like Too Much 12:22

3M ago12:22

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

3M 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

4M 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…

In today's episode, I'm talking about small gestures, big impact, and what the power of simple connection looks like. Connection is VITAL for us as humans - our brains thrive on social interaction! Small connections are beautiful and transformative and can do SO much to bridge the gaps between people in our society today. Here's to making more inte…

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

4M 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

4M 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

5M 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

5M 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

5M 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. If you're going to have an expectation about XYZ, you've got to speak it - not everyone is going to have the same expectation or understand where you're coming from!…

Cleaning the Shop: Why Feeling Your Feelings Gets Worse Before It Gets Better 12:15

6M ago12:15

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

6M 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. I talked about why boundaries can be one of the kindest things we do for ourselves in episode 36 (you can listen here if you haven't or if you need a refresher). In today's episode, I'm talking ab…

When Pain Finds You: A Personal Update on Growth, Healing, and Hope 11:53

6M ago11:53

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. I was given news that no one EVER wants to hear when it comes to their health. As I'm currently walking through this new and unfamiliar situation, I can't help but think of how vital it is to process our emotions. When…

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

7M 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 -…

Burnout on the Ranch: How We’re Learning to Recover Faster with Tom 27:14

27:14

In today's episode, Tom and I are talking about what burnout on the ranch looks like and how we're learning to recover faster.

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

7M 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

7M 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

8M 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

8M 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

8M 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. Just like on the ranch, knowing whose side of the fence an issue is on brings clarity, prevents confusion, and may even help p…

From Treat Yo Self to Maintain Yourself: A New Take on Self-Care 12:47

9M ago12:47

12:47

In today's episode, I'm talking about the "treat yo self to maintain yourself" concept and what a new take on self-care can look like. Self-care is about meeting your basic needs and caring for the whole self - mind, body, and soul. Each of these parts needs optimal attention so you can show up fully in every aspect of your life. I hope this episod…

From Grazing to Relationships: Why Feel Matters More Than Formulas 25:15

9M ago25:15

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…

Creating the Tools Before You Need Them: Building Emotional Resilience and Communication 15:24

9M ago15:24

15:24

Today’s episode is inspired by a book that I recently finished reading, ‘The Principles of Training’ by Warwick Schiller. He has 12 different principles about training your horse, but they’re actually applicable across the board - just like good movement! The specific training we’re discussing today is what it looks like to create a tool before you…

Keeping Calm in Conflict: Validation Strategies for Heated Moments 16:02

10M ago16:02

16:02

We’re talking about one of the hardest times to practice validation in this episode - during tough conversations. Yep...I’m talking about those heated moments where emotions run high, and it’s so easy for things to quickly go sideways. Choosing to acknowledge both our emotions + the other person’s can be super beneficial. Not only does this decreas…

Practical Tips for Validation: How to Validate and Seek It in Relationships 14:25

10M ago14:25

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. In last week’s episode, I discussed what validation is and why it’s important. Today, I’m excited to continue the conversation surrounding validation, and share more about the ‘p…

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

10M ago14:14

14:14

In today’s episode, I talk about validation vs. agreement, and why understanding the difference matters. Validation is the process of acknowledging and recognizing someone's feelings, thoughts, or experiences as legitimate and REAL. Even if you don’t agree with or understand the other person, it’s important that they feel seen. This then fosters tr…

Calming the Sort Alley: How to Communicate in the Heat of the Moment 15:22

Today’s episode is coming to you from a cute little Airbnb at a women’s ag event in Utah!

Anxiety and String Fence with Tom 20:07

11M ago20:07

20:07

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

11M 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

11M 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…

I’ve been talking a lot about attachment and attunement, and how these two pieces have dramatically impacted my parenting journey. In a recent episode, I discussed what I would do differently if I could do parenting all over again. In today’s episode, I want to talk about how attachment and attunement have transformed my parenting, and what I actua…
