Good Movement Draws Good Movement

In today’s episode, Tom and I are sharing what it’s like living through the largest fire in Nebraska history. This isn’t a polished or perfectly processed story. It’s still super fresh, and in many ways, we’re still IN it.What started as concern quickly turned into evacuation and long days of uncertainty. All of that turned into the very REAL possibility of losing not just land, but livelihood, animals, and a way of life that runs deep in this part of the country.This conversation isn’t about tying things up in a neat bow. We want to give an honest look into an experience that SO many in our state have been living, and also, create space for both gratitude and grief to exist at the same time.In this episode, we cover:The rapid shift from awareness to evacuation as the fires escalatedWhat those days looked like in real timeThe reality of protecting animals, land, and livelihood under pressureExperiencing the fire from 2 perspectivesThe emotional weight of leaving home without knowing what you’ll return toThe physical & mental toll of long days on the front linesWhy “it will grow back” overlooks the real human impactHolding both gratitude AND grief at the same timeThe adrenaline response + what happens when it wears offProcessing an experience that’s still fresh + the importance of empathy in crisis Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the only thing for certain is that we’re ALL human.“This isn’t the disaster you’re making it out to be.” That’s a real comment I saw online about the fires here in Nebraska. Yes, the same fires that, as of this recording, have burned over 700,000 acres AND came within miles of our home.I’ve seen people say things like, “the grass will grow back” or “fire promotes regrowth.” While yes, those things can be true, they completely miss the human side of what’s happening.The truth is, if you haven’t lived something like this, you can’t fully understand it. That’s exactly why we need more empathy. We need to take the time to FEEL with someone, even if we don’t fully understand what they’re going through.In this episode, I cover:How the recent Nebraska fires have caused real, ongoing devastationWhy certain comments are severely lacking empathyWhy you cannot fully understand a situation you haven’t livedPracticing more empathy + curiosity, even when you don’t fully understand someone else’s experienceRealizing we are ALL human and are doing the best we can Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, rancher and business owner Caroline Nelson is here to talk about anger, shame, and releasing emotions. What started as burnout (in motherhood, business, and more) quickly turned into something deeper. Through that awareness came a pivotal shift: recognizing a lack of true worthiness. Not confidence or capability, but deep, internal worthiness. After that, everything began to change!Caroline and I also talk about the role of anger in healing (and why it’s not something to avoid), how shame can keep us stuck, the physical side of healing, what it actually looks like to start showing up for yourself, and more.This conversation is honest, layered, and FULL of moments that might make you pause and reflect on your own patterns. If you’ve ever struggled with anger, shame, or releasing emotions (yep, talking to myself here), you don’t want to miss this episode!In this episode, we cover:Caroline’s journey from burnout to healing + pushing through motherhood & business demandsWhy intellectualizing ≠ actually processing emotionsThe difference between confidence and true worthinessHow shame keeps us stuck + why anger can move us forwardWhat anger work looks like + how it builds self-trustRecognizing self-betrayal and people-pleasing patternsHow betrayal can be a catalyst for boundaries + self-worthSetting boundaries in real time (without over-explaining) + why this gets easierHow emotional healing shows up physically in the bodyThe link between stress, repressed emotions & physical symptomsLetting go of toxic positivity and allowing both/and emotionsWhy healing isn’t linear + how to respond with emotional maturity instead of reactivityViewing triggers + setbacks as data, NOT failureReducing numbing behaviors by increasing REAL connection Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about what anxiety is and why it’s hard to just “calm down.” When anxiety shows up, it’s not just an emotion floating around randomly.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the first step to improved communication. We often jump straight to “What do I say?” or “How do I say this better?” But we bypass the root of it all: self-awareness.If we don’t understand how we’re wired, how our nervous system responds, and how our tone or energy is received, no amount of communication tools will truly “fix” it. Ultimately, improved and effective communication starts with US!If you’re ready to go deeper into the Good Movement Framework with tools and practical support, I’d love to have you join me over on my private podcast, The Draw!In this episode, I cover:Why communication “tools” can fail when the foundation is missingThe mistake of focusing on what to say instead of self-awarenessWhy self-awareness is understanding your wiring, triggers & nervous systemWhy self-awareness ≠ self-centerednessHow social awareness helps you notice body language, tone & energyIntegrating both self + social awareness for grounded, effective communicationWhy respect and regulation matter more than total agreementUnderstanding that even with awareness, some hard decisions may still followMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/improved-communicationConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at [email protected] & Links:Join The DrawSchedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for youCheck out my merch shopJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting

In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to truly apologize. If the apology includes a “but,” it’s usually not a repair. It’s more like deflection and self-protection. If admitting mistakes didn’t feel safe when we were young, of course it’s going to feel hard now. Safety HAS to exist for honesty and accountability to grow!If this conversation resonates and you’d like to explore your own patterns around apologizing or admitting mistakes, I’d love to support you on your journey.

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 about what happens when we choose to step closer instead of pulling away. My curiosity recently led me to consume I Take My Coffee Black by Tyler Merritt.One of his quotes totally stopped me in my tracks when I heard it: “Distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy” (he credits Brian Lawrence). That one sentence captures SO much of what fuels misunderstanding (and what heals it).It’s a whole lot harder to stay angry, judgmental, or hateful toward someone when you actually get close to them. When we get curious and learn someone’s story, compassion naturally follows.Proximity doesn’t mean agreement - it means empathy, grace, and humanity!In this episode, I cover:How the book I Take My Coffee Black inspired a deeper reflection for meThe powerful idea that “distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy”How learning someone’s story makes it harder to judge or stay stuck in angerA personal example of how getting curious & stepping closer changed things for the betterWhy proximity doesn’t require agreement, but creates space for empathy & grace Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

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!
