Good Movement Draws Good Movement

I’m honored to have Jessie Jarvis on the podcast today! Jessie has a true passion for the ag and western industries, which led her to create her company, Of The West, a job platform built specifically to connect hundreds of employers and job seekers in these industries. We talk all about some of the key communication challenges that arise (not only in the ag and western spaces, but everywhere in o...

I know so many of us can resonate with the ups and downs in life, and especially, those challenging ‘winter’ seasons that are bound to happen. In this episode, I talk more about how the seasons of our lives usually match nature’s seasons, the crisp clarity and opportunity that can come from those cold, dark winters we experience in our lives, how to actually face your winters head-on, and more.  ...

My husband, Tom, is back again! In today’s episode, we’re talking all about the time we got into a fight right after I posted on social media that working cattle with your spouse does NOT have to end in a fight. At first..I felt like a big ‘ol hypocrite after that one. However, I remembered that this occurrence was not the rule for us - it was the exception.  We’re sharing about what actually star...

Toward the end of 2023, I set three main intentions for what was left of the year - listen to Daily Audio Bible and have quiet time daily, be more present with my husband and kids and less in my head, and open the doors for my 1:1 Good Movement Coaching Membership. However, I ended up adding a fourth intention… unintentionally.  This got me thinking about a valuable concept we use in stockmanship,...

I have a very special guest on the podcast today - Aaron Espe! Aaron is actually the incredible creator behind the good movement music here on the podcast, so I was very excited to have him on the show. I’ve been a fan of Aaron’s since I first heard him play (I like to consider myself a ‘superfan’) - his music has been like a soundtrack for my life over the last few years, and it really helped me...

When it comes to miscommunication and frustration that happens among us as humans, I believe so much of it comes from not having the ‘whole story’ (even though most of the time, we think we do). In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about handling judgment and criticism from others (I have a personal experience of my own to share), why the concept of choosing curiosity over criticism doesn’t...

On my most recent podcast episode, I went into detail about what the Enneagram is, and how it can be used to draw good movement. Well today, Tom is back for another episode, and he’s going to be sharing HIS take on the Enneagram! We’re talking about Tom’s initial thoughts on the Enneagram and how that’s changed over time, the value in knowing YOUR specific type + the other types, digging into self...

If you’ve tuned into my podcast at all in the past, you probably know that the Enneagram has come up a lot, because it’s something I love! In this episode, I’m excited to talk with you more about what the Enneagram really is (especially key differences compared to other personality typing systems), why you should never assume someone else’s Enneagram type, core motivations, and more.   In this epi...

In today’s episode I’m very excited to have my good friend, Emily Reuschel, on the podcast! We talk about how life-changing personal growth can be, ripple effects and the connection to drawing good movement, the power of self-awareness, not stressing about other people’s opinions and expectations of you, and more. Emily Reuschel is a farmer’s wife, mom of three, entrepreneur, motivational speaker,...

Back by popular demand, I have my husband, Tom (formerly known as Mr. FFB) on the podcast again today! I received some questions regarding internships (for those who are offering internships and those who are interns as well), so we thought it would be fun to answer those and give our best advice for making the most of an internship.   In this episode, we cover:  Our best communication tips/advice...

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...

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...

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...

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 mo...

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 hu...

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...

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 m...

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 th...
