Today’s episode is a short and sweet one that I’ve actually shared before, but it packs a punch! It has some mind-blowing truths (at least it blew my mind), all about emotions.
In today’s episode, I want to share the hard truth about emotions because, well, you gotta feel them ALL. When it comes to emotions, we must understand that they themselves are not the problem, but rather, our resistance to actually feeling them is.
Emotions are very much like riding a roller coaster, too (which my good friend Sheila shared here on the podcast). We can’t continually numb anger, fear, and sadness yet still expect to fully feel emotions like happiness and joy. It may be difficult to hear, but selectively numbing emotions just isn’t possible!
If you’re someone who is used to numbing certain emotions, I really want you to get curious as to WHY you’re doing so. Instead of numbing, take time to recognize, feel, and accept your emotion(s). Then, you can get ready to bring joy and happiness into your life in a BOLD, new way!
Whether this is your first time listening or you’ve heard it before, I hope it’s helpful for you right where you are. I hope you have a very merry Christmas and that your holiday is full of joy, peace, and, of course, good movement!
In this episode, The Hard Truth About Emotions: You Gotta Feel Them All, I cover:
- How our emotions themselves are not the problem, but our resistance to feeling them is
- Why we can’t numb emotions like fear, anger, and sadness and still expect to feel happiness, joy, and love to the fullest

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!
