16d ago12:05

12:05

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.

1M ago10:09

10:09

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…

I Thought I Didn’t Get Angry… Turns Out I Was Just Really Good at Stuffing It Down 13:38

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.
