I’m excited to welcome my friend, Kelly Greene, onto the podcast today!
Kelly and I first connected at the 2023 Enneagram Cohort with Suzanne Stabile. She is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach who supports her clients in cultivating holistic (whole-self) resilience.
Kelly has always had a passion for helping and serving people, which led her to practice law for 15+ years. After having what she calls a “dark night of the soul” experience, though, Kelly knew working as an attorney wasn’t the right path for her anymore.
In today’s part 1 episode, we’re discussing holistic resilience and what rethinking strength and survival looks like. Kelly has experienced her fair share of trauma over the years and has often been told how resilient she is. While she may look like it on paper, resilient was not a word she would have used to describe herself years ago.
The word resilient seems to be thrown around a lot these days, but it’s NOT synonymous with grit. While being gritty can be very valuable, you can’t suppress your feelings and continue pushing through, no matter what!
Holistic resilience is something Kelly has implemented into her own life and into the work she does with her clients. Being able to successfully respond to and adapt to traumatic events, both physiologically and psychologically, is VITAL. It can absolutely save your life!
Make sure to come back for part 2 with Kelly next week as we dive more into resilience – you won’t want to miss it!

More about the Good Movement Draws Good Movement podcast:
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 our approach, and we communicate with each other 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.
Tune in every Tuesday, and make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode! Let’s go draw good movement!
