Good Movement Draws Good Movement

Today’s episode is going to be a little more of a somber one, but it’s something I feel very strongly about, and it’s important to share with you. I want to talk about grief, because seven months ago today, I was thrust firsthand into learning about it when my dad suddenly passed away. I’ll also be covering more about how our society views grief and closure, what it looks like for joy and grief to co-exist, helpful things you should (and should not) say to someone who is grieving, and more.   In

In today’s episode I have my good friend, Ashley Machado, on the podcast! She’s truly been a wealth of knowledge for me when it comes to my own mental health, and she has so much goodness and wisdom to share. We’re talking more about curiosity and gaining self-awareness when it comes to mental health, how mental health plays a big role when it comes to our relationships and how we communicate with others, what a ‘mental health toolbox’ is and how we can use it, and more. Ashley Machado is a Tedx

Today’s episode is going to be all about gratitude, because it’s Thanksgiving week in the United States! While it’s amazing to practice gratitude during the month of November, I believe it’s something that is important to do year-round. I’m excited to talk about the two main types of ‘fuel’ the brain runs on (it’s truly fascinating to me how God designed our human brains), what it can look like to have a gratitude practice and joy journal, simple steps for increasing joy in your everyday life, and

Today’s episode is going to be more of a story-centered one for you, and it’s definitely a good one! I’m excited to share more about how I got to where I am today - essentially, the evolution of Good Movement. I’m talking more about my upbringing in agriculture’s impact on me, what it looked like for me to step away from the career I knew and was comfortable with, why I decided to finally share more about the principles of Good Movement with others, and all of the life that happened in between. I

In today’s episode I have a very special guest, formally known as Mr. FFB, my husband, Tom! We’re covering the importance of communication, accommodating each other’s needs, and how self-awareness has helped our marriage.  In this episode, we cover:  How we met and our journey into ranching together Tom's discovery of good movement principles in cattle and how these principles can also apply to humans The impact and mindset shift that was made on Tom (and us as a couple) when he learned his

I’ve been sharing about good movement on social media for a while now and one of the most common questions I get is: “How do I learn good movement?” It’s a good question and it's also a hard question to answer because there isn’t a step-by-step guide to good movement. In today’s episode, I’m going to share one of the pieces to learning good movement and that is self-awareness.  In this episode, we cover:  Self-awareness needs to come first because it directly affects how others react to us Learning

Welcome to the first episode of Good Movement Draws Good Movement! I’m so excited to have this podcast out into the world and to have you listening in today. Thank you for being here! Today I’m sharing what exactly good movement means and my story of taking this concept from not just cattle, but applying it to human interactions as well. What if we could all move forward in good movement? Reduce meaningless stress, improve our health, and effectively and effortlessly communicate with others.  The

In stockmanship (the art and science of handling cattle in a safe, effective, low-stress manner), we have this phrase . . . good movement draws good movement.  It’s this thing that happens when we ask a small group of cattle, maybe a cow, or a pair to move out in a certain direction and their movement draws the whole herd into moving in the same direction. Good movement happens when we approach the cattle with a positive attitude, read and really listen to what they’re telling us, and communicate
