Tom is back on the (castpod) to help me tackle your questions with both honesty AND humor!
In today’s episode, we’re sharing our hot takes and heartfelt truths on a variety of topics. We received questions regarding relationship struggles, the impact of social media on our communities, facing deep + tense conversations with family members about succession planning, and more.
Tom and I even shared our best advice for new parents navigating rural life far from family (spoiler – don’t be afraid to ask for help and give yourself plenty of grace)!
A great deal has changed since we’ve been newlyweds and new parents. While we’ve experienced some incredible wins within our family and our relationship over the years, we’re still learning as we go.
We’re truly grateful for the thoughtful questions you sent in, and we’d LOVE to keep these conversations going. Feel free to reach out anytime with what’s on your mind, and we’ll be back with more hot takes and heartfelt truths soon!

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 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.
