Trading Whiskey for Witness: Will Hudson on Being Seen and Staying Sober 32:42

Play Pause

5h ago32:42

32:42

I'm honored to welcome my friend, Will Hudson, to the podcast today! Will's story starts like many others in ranch country: long hours, responsibility at a young age, and a deep desire to prove himself. But somewhere along the way, approval from others became his fuel, and drinking became the way to feel "good enough." In today's episode, we're div…

Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse (And What to Do Instead) 19:02

7d ago19:02

19:02

Relationships are built in the day-to-day: the small exchanges, the tone of our words, and the way we handle conflict when things start to go sideways. In today's episode, I'm diving into the Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse (and what to do instead). Sounds a bit dramatic (I know), but what's even more fascinating is that every single o…

Comfortably Numb: When Calm Becomes Disconnection 13:43

14d ago13:43

13:43

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when calm becomes disconnection. What we often call calm isn't really calm at all. On the outside, it looks steady and strong, but inside? It can feel tight, numb, or completely disconnected - it's what I like to call "comfortably numb." This is what so many of us in agriculture are taught - be tou…

It Doesn’t Have to Be Major to Matter 11:52

21d ago11:52

11:52

In today's episode, I'm sharing why it doesn't have to be major to matter. Sometimes we downplay our pain because it doesn't look like a single, defining moment. We compare our experiences to others, dismissing our own hurts as "not that bad." But trauma isn't measured by the size of the event - it's about what happens INSIDE of us. Pain doesn't ha…

From Fear-Based Compliance to Trust-Based Respect 12:31

28d ago12:31

12:31

In today's episode, I'm talking about going from fear-based compliance to trust-based respect. For so long, respect has been tied to compliance. True respect isn't taught through commands or punishments; it's cultivated! When we shift from fear-based control to trust-based respect, everything changes. Respect isn't about demanding quiet - it's abou…

Stop Carrying Everyone Else’s Healing: Do the Work for You First 10:42

1M ago10:42

10:42

In today’s episode, I’m talking about why you need to stop carrying everyone else’s healing and do the work for you first. I personally had to learn the hard way that you can’t step into doing the inner work and healing for other people. If you try, it’s not going to unfold the way you hoped! You’re not meant to carry everyone else’s healing on you…

One Intentional Breath: My First Step Toward Emotional Healing 16:20

1M ago16:20

16:20

In today’s episode, I’m talking about one intentional breath and why it was MY first step toward emotional healing. Back in October 2020, life felt like pure chaos. The ranch workload was heavier than ever, and I didn’t realize the toll it was taking on me until things finally slowed down. That’s when the anxiety, chest tightness, and overwhelm hit…

In today’s episode, we’re celebrating the 100th episode with a ranch Q&A and real talk with Tom and me (yep, Tom had to be here for episode 100)! We’re keeping things fun and laid-back for this one. You’ll hear us dive into questions about Tom and his emotions, how we try to help OUR kids navigate their feelings, lessons we’re still learning about …

Ignoring It Isn’t the Answer—for Yourself or Others 11:00

2M ago11:00

11:00

In today's episode, I'm talking about validation, and why ignoring it isn't the answer - for yourself OR others. I was reminded of this lesson again in our own barnyard with one of our cows. When I shifted my approach and started acknowledging her nervousness instead of ignoring her (which made things worse), I could almost feel her settle. It's th…

Every Emotion Has a Purpose: Hurt or Heal, the Choice Is in the Response 8:42

2M ago8:42

8:42

In today's episode, I'm talking about why every emotion has a purpose, and the choice is in the response. Emotions are signals. Whether it's anger, fear, sadness, or joy, these emotions are alerting us to something. If we choose to ignore them, we miss what they're trying to tell us. Remember - every emotion has a purpose, friend. When we learn to …

Cows, Kids, and Communication Gaps with Tom 27:18

2M ago27:18

27:18

In today’s episode, Tom is back on the podcast, and we’re diving into all things cows, kids, and communication gaps. Earlier this week, Tom set out to move cattle with the kids while I stayed in for a workday. What was supposed to be a simple “fun” project quickly turned into a bit of a rodeo! The heart of this episode is communication and perspect…

Manure to Meaning—Acknowledging the Crap Is the First Step 9:03

3M ago9:03

9:03

In today's episode, I'm diving into the concept of "manure to meaning" and why acknowledging the crap is the first step. The thing is, you can't turn crap into fertilizer right away. You have to admit it's manure FIRST, then compost it, sit with it, turn it over, and give it time to break down. Otherwise, it won't turn into anything that will be us…

“Do I Really Need This Right Now?” — On Waiting for a Crisis to Seek Help 13:04

3M ago13:04

13:04

In today's episode, I'm diving into why you may be waiting for a crisis to seek help. The truth is, we don't HAVE to wait until everything feels like it's falling apart or completely on fire to reach out for support. Inner work isn't just for the breaking points. It's the fence check before the cows ever enter the pasture. It's choosing to tend to …

I Thought I Didn’t Get Angry… Turns Out I Was Just Really Good at Stuffing It Down 12:32

3M ago12:32

12:32

In today's episode, I'm diving into why I thought I didn't get angry, but actually, I was just really good at shoving it down. If you grew up in rural spaces where stoicism and toughness are celebrated, you've probably been taught to think that anger isn't safe. Ultimately, anger isn't the enemy - it's often just the messenger. Let's stop shoving a…

Doing the Work for You: Matt Gasseling on Healing, Fatherhood, and Finding Self-Worth 29:10

4M ago29:10

29:10

In today's episode, Matt Gasseling and I are discussing healing, fatherhood, and finding self-worth. Doing the work for you can be difficult. It's not easy to prioritize yourself and work on your own stuff, especially when the world has taught you to push it all down and go it alone. Matt shares what's helped him on this journey, from quieting his …

Both-And: An Exercise for Holding the Crappy and the Happy 14:50

4M ago14:50

14:50

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 11:25

4M ago11:25

11:25

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…

Mental Health First Aid Should Be as Common as First Aid and CPR (Especially in Rural Life) 34:07

4M ago34:07

34:07

In today's episode, keynote speaker and mindset coach Calli Thorne and I are discussing why mental health first aid should be as common as first aid and CPR - especially in rural life. Calli offers a real look into what this training involves, why it matters, and how it can genuinely change lives. If you've ever felt like you're running on empty or…

You Don’t Need Their Apology to Heal 8:21

4M ago8:21

8:21

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 16:26

5M ago16:26

16:26

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) 14:52

5M ago14:52

14:52

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…

The Dangerous Comfort of Judgment: Responding to Tragedy with Humanity 11:50

5M ago11:50

11:50

**Trigger Warning: This episode was tough for me to record, and it may be tough to listen to. It includes topics of homicide and suicide. 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 9:42

5M ago9:42

9:42

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 10:48

6M ago10:48

10:48

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 10:06

6M ago10:06

10:06

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 11:16

6M ago11:16

11:16

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 11:05

7M ago11:05

11:05

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 10:54

7M ago10:54

10:54

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…

Small Gestures, Big Impact: The Power of Simple Connection 12:44

7M ago12:44

12:44

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 14:36

7M ago14:36

14:36

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 11:39

7M ago11:39

11:39

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 18:30

8M ago18:30

18:30

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 11:26

8M ago11:26

11:26

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 19:15

9M ago19:15

19:15

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 11:10

9M ago11:10

11:10

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 11:23

9M ago11:23

11:23

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 10:48

10M ago10:48

10:48

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 14:27

10M ago14:27

14:27

"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 26:09

10M ago26:09

26:09

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. This fall was tougher than usual, and it seemed to drag on and on - we both felt that way throughout the season! We're also chatting about winter projects we're focusing on and what Tom's experience with burnout has been li…

Breaking the Stigma: Redefining Strength in Rural Communities 13:08

10M ago13:08

13:08

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 7:15

11M ago7:15

7:15

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 12:55

11M ago12:55

12:55

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…

In today's episode, we're discussing what "Relationship before Horsemanship" really looks like with Warwick Schiller and how this applies to ALL beings (not just horses).

Burning Daylight or Missing the Moment? Reclaiming Mindfulness 15:37

11M ago15:37

15:37

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 13:40

11M ago13:40

13:40

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…
