I wanted to revisit this conversation because they are super important, and EVERY single one of them matters!When we learn to view emotions as signals instead of problems, we can begin working with them, rather than against them!When we pause, make space for our feelings, and listen to the information they provide, we create opportunities for healing instead of harm.If you need more help with learning to work with your emotions (instead of against them), I would be honored to support you inside my 1:1 Good Movement Guidance!In this episode, I cover:Why all feelings are valid, even when they don’t feel logicalThe purpose emotions serve + what happens when we ignore themHow different responses to emotions can either help or harmPractical tools to pause, process, and choose intentional action Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how talking kindly to your body can benefit your life. About halfway through this last year, I came across Heal Your Body by Louise Hay. It led me to her book You Can Heal Your Life, and while some of it may sound a little “woo,” something about it landed!Now, I’m not saying affirmations *magically* fix everything. However, I’ve noticed a difference in MY everyday life since I’ve been using them!'Of course, nothing is perfect. I still get sick, and I still have hard days. But I’m no longer comfortably numb. Acknowledging anger, sadness, and fear has changed the environment inside my body. It has created space for me to THRIVE, and I’m truly grateful for that!If you’ve been feeling called to go deeper into your own inner work and healing, I’d love to support you.

In today's episode, I’m talking with licensed mental health therapist Victoria Mexcur about a new way to grit through. Trauma is often treated as a singular, heavy label, but it’s much more nuanced. It’s an experience that impacts the nervous system, creates mental loops, and can disconnect the mind and body in very individual ways.We dive into breaking stigma, repair, and why mental health is just as foundational as the land and animals we care so deeply for. This conversation is grounding, honest, and incredibly needed; I know it will meet you right where you are!In this episode, we cover:Victoria’s path into therapy + why she chose trauma workWhat trauma actually is + why it looks different for everyoneA reframe of “gritting through” that works WITH the body (instead of overriding it)How somatic experiencing & EMDR support nervous system regulationKey lessons from animals + Peter Levine’s workWhy traditional talk therapy isn’t always the right fit for rural & ag folksHow flexible, accessible therapy better supports rural life during busy seasonsUsing grit + a “get-er-done” mindset to reach out for support instead of going it aloneSimple starting tools for nervous system regulationWhy mental health is foundational to sustaining families, operations & long-term well-being Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today's episode, I’m talking to Amber Trejo, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in complex trauma and attachment, about what might be under the perfectionism, shame, and self-loathing. Amber explains how complex trauma often forms when there was never a true baseline of safety growing up, how, while it can be painful to realize we might hurt our kids, the repair matters FAR more than perfection, and so much more.Healing from complex trauma and things like perfectionism, shame, and self-loathing doesn’t start with “being better,” it starts with awareness, curiosity, and support. Whether that’s therapy, learning, or simply beginning to ask yourself gentler questions, please know you are not broken, and you are NOT alone!In this episode, we cover:Amber’s journey into understanding & working with complex traumaWhat complex trauma (C-PTSD) is + how growing up without a baseline of safety impacts the nervous systemThe key difference between PTSD and complex traumaHow emotional neglect often goes unrecognized, even in childhoods that felt “good”Why shame is central to complex trauma + how it often shows upHow complex trauma affects relationships, conflict & nervous system capacityWhy repair matters more than perfection in parentingHow to support yourself + loved ones when navigating complex trauma Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

I'm excited to welcome Lydia Van Aken to the podcast today!In today's episode, we're talking about getting out of your head and into the run. Lydia shares how our emotions, beliefs, and nervous system state directly affect our horses (whether we’re aware of it or not). Building a strong connection requires self-awareness, intentionality, and learning how to regulate yourself FIRST. We also talk honestly about the cultural messages many of us grew up with in ag and rural communities, how suppressing emotions actually impacts our bodies, overthinking, and more. If you’re stuck in fear, frustration, or setback, stop focusing only on what’s wrong. Look for the opportunity, because ultimately, whatever you focus on will grow!In this episode, we cover:Lydia’s rodeo journey + how this led her into performance coaching & working with the mental side of athleticsHow the human athlete’s mindset directly impacts the equine athleteWhy self-awareness is key to building trust and connection with a horseHow suppressing emotions often leads to overwhelm and breakdown laterWhy getting into the run requires stepping out of overthinking & trusting muscle memoryWhy too much information can pull athletes out of their bodies and into their headsThe power in finding opportunity & growth within your challenges Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
