Ever find yourself wondering, “Is this my issue,

Ever find yourself wondering, “Is this my issue, or theirs?”

Relationships, much like neighbor fences on the ranch, require clear boundaries and regular upkeep. Knowing whose side of the “fence” an issue is on can prevent a lot of unnecessary conflict and confusion.

This week on the cast-pod, we explore how to figure out what’s yours to own, what’s theirs to handle, and how to support each other without crossing boundaries. Whether it’s emotional work or physical fences, clarity is key.

Tune into episode 58, “Who’s side of the fence is that on?” 🔗 to cast-pod 👉🏻 @terryn.drieling

Last night, Tom and I went to bed angry. Not ragey

Last night, Tom and I went to bed angry. Not ragey, just angry.

He was angry with me and I was angry with him. This morning I woke up and started my morning routine with the kefir/colostrum/collagen and making the coffee. And I started to notice this weight in my chest.

As I sat in my “Jesus chair” (the chair I sit in the morning when I’m talking to God), the weight got heavier. I got curious about it and what I came to was that this sensation in my chest was because I was resisting apologizing for my behavior last night.

Did I get up and immediately go apologize?

Umm… no.

My hold up was this idea that my apology wouldn’t matter - that it would only stir things up again. And I hate conflict, so I avoid it.

I continued to resist and the weight continued to feel heavier and heavier. I played over and over in my head how I could displace the blame for the argument onto him rather than me. But every way I played it only led back to me apologizing.

So, I went in and said, “I’m sorry for what I did last night.”

It didn’t stir things up like I’d assumed it would. He was gracious and kind, wrapping me up in a big hug and letting me know my apology was accepted.

And ya know what - the weight on my chest was immediately lifted. Gone. Just like that.

When I think about it this weight isn’t an unfamiliar feeling. It actually visits a lot when I’m avoiding conflict whether I need to apologize or just engage in the conflict. It happened last week when we had a run review for one of our ambulance calls where I had questions about the care of a patient we’d passed on to a more advanced crew.

Acknowledging the connection feels like relief. And it gives me a starting point on what to do with the information my body is sending me in those moments.

Although I do love me some Parks and Rec, self-car

Although I do love me some Parks and Rec, self-care isn’t a “Treat Yo Self” type of deal.

It isn’t bubble baths, spa days, or spending sprees.

Self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

It’s taking care of your mind, body, and soul.

In episode 57 of the Good Movement Draws Good Movement cast-pod, we’re talking more about what self-care is, what it’s not, and breaking down practical ways to weave it into your everyday life.

Navigating food, family, and self-worth during the

Navigating food, family, and self-worth during the holidays can feel like a tall order—especially when you’re surrounded by well-meaning (or not so well-meaning) opinions.

In episode 56 of the Good Movement Draws Good Movement cast-pod, I sat down with with @kourtney.talkington to chat about cultivating a healthy relationship with food and how to stand strong in your choices amid family pressures.

We cover practical ways to approach holiday gatherings without guilt, from setting boundaries around food conversations to focusing on the memories (not just the meals) that truly make the season meaningful.

We all want a formula, but life isn’t math.

Feel > Formulas

In episode 54 of the Good Movement Draws Good Movement cast-pod, Tom and I dive deep into why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer—whether it’s grazing cattle or navigating human relationships. We also chat about how developing ‘feel’ can transform the way you interact with everyone and everything around you.

When you’re in a stressful sort alley—or a tough conversation—things don’t have to spiral out of control.

Here are 3 simple ways to stay grounded and keep communication calm and clear:

✔️ Pause before responding ✔️ Use neutral language ✔️ Ground yourself physically

These tips work just as well in the sort alley as they do around the kitchen table.

(more on these three tips in ep. 53 of the Good Movement Draws Good Movement cast-pod. 🔗 👉🏻 @terryn.drieling)

Navigating tough conversations—whether on the ranch or at home—can feel overwhelming when emotions run high.

That’s why it’s so important to have the right tools *before* you need them.

In episode 53 of the Good Movement Draws Good Movement cast-pod, I dive into creating tools like breathing techniques, pausing before responding, and asking honest questions.

These simple practices help us stay grounded when tensions flare, making it easier to connect with those around us—whether in the sort alley or at the family dinner table.

When I asked what makes self-care so challenging,

When I asked what makes self-care so challenging, so many shared things like:

👉 Not enough time 👉 Too many responsibilities 👉 Feeling guilty for prioritizing yourself

But when we constantly put ourselves last, it takes a toll—burnout, feeling disconnected, losing joy in the things we once loved…

It doesn’t have to be that way.

And you are not alone in this struggle. The Good Movement Collective is a community of rural women who get it and are there to support you as you make room for YOU in your own life.

Inside, you’ll gain practical tools, support from like-minded women, and a space to put yourself back on the priority list—without sacrificing everything else.

Shoot me a DM or comment “ready” to learn more.
