What if the emotions you’ve been taught to avoid, dismiss, or push aside are actually trying to help you?
In 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!
While our culture often labels emotions as “good” or “bad,” the truth is that emotions are simply information. They show up to tell us something important, whether we understand them immediately or not.
One of the biggest misconceptions about emotions? We think they have to make logical sense in order to be valid. But feelings don’t begin with logic – they begin with information.
When we learn to view emotions as signals instead of problems, we can begin working with them, rather than against them!
Remember – all feelings are valid, and every emotion serves a purpose. 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!

- Why all feelings are valid, even when they don’t feel logical
- The purpose emotions serve + what happens when we ignore them
- How different responses to emotions can either help or harm

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!
