Good Movement Draws Good Movement
Hosted by Terryn Drieling · EN
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 accordingly.
We don’t approach the aware, flighty cattle the same as we do the tame, docile cattle. We adjust ourselves, our energy, and approach, and communicate with each differently.
These adjustments help us effectively draw good movement from each, which then draws good movement from the herd. But it starts with us.
The same is true for humans. Good movement starts with us.
Welcome to Good Movement Draws Good Movement, the podcast where farmers, ranchers, and rural folks can grow relationally through awareness, understanding, and effective communication.
Hey, it’s me - T. I’m your host, and I, along with my guests, will be covering topics related to drawing good movement - things like self and social awareness, brain science, positive psychology, extending grace, and so much more.
We’ll share tools that can help you understand why you are the way you are, why others are the way they are, and how you can use that to step out of self-told lies with grace and compassion to draw good movement in conversations, relationships, and life in rural America.

What to Do When Someone Says Something Stupid
3d ago00:11:21Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, I’m talking about what to do when someone says something stupid.One of the questions I hear most often when teaching about validation is, "But what if I don't agree with what they're saying”? It's an honest question, and one that gets to the heart of why validation can feel very challenging.Validation isn't about deciding who's right or wrong. It's about recognizing the humanity behind what someone is feeling.No, we don't have to agree with another person's viewpoint to ask thoughtful questions, acknowledge their emotions, or create space for connection. Curiosity doesn't erase our own beliefs - it simply helps us communicate with more compassion.In this episode, I cover:The validation exercise I used in my recent Good Movement workshopWhy the most helpful response can simply be your presenceHow every perspective is shaped by unique life experiencesWhy you can validate someone's feelings without validating misinformationWhat validation really is + why feelings are ALWAYS validHow validation can lead to stronger communication + deeper relationships Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Transcribe →The Sticks and Stones Saying... Yeah It's Crap
1w ago00:15:52Tap to summarizeMany of us grew up repeating the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." While it may have been intended to build resilience, I've come to believe it's simply NOT true.In today’s episode, I’m talking about why that saying is crap. The words we hear, and the ones we tell ourselves, shape what we believe and how we experience the world.The encouraging news? Those stories aren't permanent. Through neuroplasticity, we can build new pathways and choose thoughts that better serve us. If you've been carrying thoughts that no longer serve you, know that change IS possible.In this episode, I cover:How words shape our thoughts, beliefs, and reality + how repeated thoughts create permanent neural pathwaysHow limiting beliefs can be rewritten through neuroplasticityChanging your thoughts that you practice every day + pairing with grace & self-compassionPersonal examples of changing limiting beliefs in everyday lifeWhy releasing resentment starts with changing the story you tell yourselfHow small shifts in thinking can create lasting transformationMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/sticks-and-stonesConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Episode 143: Why Self-Awareness Is Important and Also SucksSchedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for you – mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off!Check out my merch shopJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting
Transcribe →Why Self-Awareness Is Important and Also Sucks
2w ago00:13:11Tap to summarizeSelf-awareness is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, and also one of the hardest.In today’s episode, I’m talking about why self-awareness is important (and also sucks). As we begin doing inner work, we often become painfully aware of habits, reactions, and patterns we'd rather not see. It can feel uncomfortable, and yeah, even a little discouraging.But becoming aware of those parts of ourselves isn't the goal. The goal is to learn to understand them with curiosity, rather than judgment. When we approach ourselves with compassion rather than shame, self-awareness becomes less about “fixing” ourselves and more about understanding ourselves.The good news? Self-awareness isn't something we're born with - it’s something we can practice. The process may feel uncomfortable at first, but with grace and patience, greater awareness leads to greater healing, healthier relationships, and the kind of good movement that begins with us!In this episode, I cover:Why self-awareness often feels uncomfortable at firstHow self-awareness is different from self-judgmentHow unhelpful behaviors often begin as protective strategies + choosing to get curious when you notice theseWhy self-awareness is the first step toward good movement & lasting changeSimple ways you can grow your self-awareness Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Transcribe →The Unhelpful Things We Heard as Kids and What to Say Instead
3w ago00:20:35Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, I’m talking about the unhelpful things we heard as kids, and what we can say instead. As parents and caregivers, it's natural to want to fix, stop, or minimize big emotions. But feelings aren't problems to solve - they’re signals asking to be acknowledged.Rather than shutting emotions down, we can create space for them by staying grounded, validating what our children are experiencing, and reminding them that their feelings are never too big for us. And no - validating emotions doesn't mean allowing destructive behavior. Children need both compassion and safety.When we consistently offer both, we build trust and teach them that all feelings are welcome (even when certain actions are not)! Parenting isn't about getting it right 100% of the time. It's about showing up with humility, extending ourselves grace, and repairing when we miss the mark.In this episode, I cover:Common childhood phrases that can unintentionally dismiss emotionsWhy children need to feel safe, seen, and heardHow to validate feelings while holding healthy boundariesHelpful ways to support your kids when they’re having “big” emotionsWhy it’s never too late to change how you parentWhy grace + repair matter more than you thinkMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/unhelpful-things-we-heard-as-kidsConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Schedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for you – mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off!Check out my merch shopJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting

Transcribe →Perspectives... We've All Got Them
Jun 2300:11:44Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, I’m talking about perspectives and why we’ve all got them. Recently, I found myself reflecting on this idea during a conversation about change and conflict. It reminded me how easy it is to become frustrated when we only see situations through the lens of our own experiences.We know our daily challenges and our own pressures. But we rarely have a complete picture of what someone else is carrying or why they see things differently.If we want more understanding, kindness, and connection in our relationships, we HAVE to be willing to move closer. That might look like spending time with someone, asking honest questions, or simply checking in when everything appears “fine” on the surface.Connecting with others and adjusting our perspectives can bring some of the most meaningful growth!In this episode, I cover:How perspectives are shaped by our unique experiencesWhy understanding doesn't always require agreementWhy we often judge situations without knowing the full storyHow people who seem “fine” may be carrying unseen strugglesHonest questions to create deeper understanding + using curiosity & compassion to bridge perspective gapsMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/perspectivesConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Honest Questions GuideSchedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for you – mention “castpod” when you book to receive 10% off!Check out my merch shopJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting
Transcribe →Why All Feelings Are Valid + the Purpose Emotions Serve
Jun 1600:09:49Tap to summarizeIn today's episode, I'm talking about why all feelings are valid + the purpose emotions serve. 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!

Jun 900:10:09Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, I’m doing a book review of How to Deal with Your ____ So Your Kids Don’t Have To by Eli Harwood.

Transcribe →When Well-Meaning is Actually Dismissive
Jun 200:14:10Tap to summarizeSometimes, the people who love us most say things with the very best intentions. Unfortunately, they can still land in a way that feels painful. In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when well-meaning is actually dismissive. Through experiences like losing my dad, navigating cancer, and living through devastating fires, I've become more aware of how quick we are to search for silver linings or make someone feel better. At the end of the day, people don't always need us to have the "perfect" words. They need us to sit beside them, truly listen, and say, "I see you."If this conversation resonates and you're ready to go deeper on your healing journey, I'd love to support you.

Transcribe →Guilt and Shame... What's the Difference?
May 2600:11:30Tap to summarizeSomething that so many people quietly carry (but often struggle to name) is the difference between guilt and shame.
