Description

What if the way we move through the world—our energy, awareness, and communication—has the power to shape how others move, too?

This week on The Found Podcast, I'm sitting down with Terryn Drieling of The Good Movement Draws Good Movement Podcast to explore what she calls "good movement"—a principle inspired by her life on ranches in the Sandhills of Nebraska and rooted in stockmanship, connection, and emotional awareness.

Terryn believes that, just like animals respond to calm, intentional movement, humans thrive when we learn to regulate our energy, validate others, and lead with love instead of fear. Through her coaching, podcast, and workshops, she helps rural folks improve communication, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with themselves—all while honoring the unique rhythms of small-town life.

Our conversation dives deep into friendship, resilience, and the importance of self-understanding in order to create "good movement" in every relationship you're part of: at home, at work, and in your community.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

  • How Terryn's ranching roots inspired her "good movement" philosophy.

  • Why grit and resilience aren't the same and how to cultivate both.

  • The difference between validation and agreement, and why it matters in relationships.

  • How love- and trust-based communication creates deeper connection than fear-based compliance.

  • The power of emotional awareness and self-regulation (and what animals can teach us about it).

  • Terryn's personal story of friendship, healing, and mental-emotional growth through her cancer journey.

Key Quote:

"Good movement starts with us. When we understand ourselves, we can show up with more grace, compassion, and awareness—and that draws good movement from everyone around us."
