Welcome to September! In today’s episode, Lana Wilkes (Cowgirls Over Coffee Community Manager) is back with us! Join the conversation as we talk about transitioning into fall routines. Valuing the power of a routine is important. Routines help provide productivity, they’re constructive, and they’re comforting. Find your routine to be a safe space that helps you reach your goals.
In this episode, Lana and I both share the fall routines we’ve put in place to help us focus on things we want to accomplish. We all have to find what works for us based on our priorities and what motivates us. When we’re consistent with our routines, the benefits are easily felt. What routines are working for your family?

In today's episode, I'm talking about the idea we have to figure it all out. While it's impossible to always figure everything out, I share some things I think I have figured out. I'll dive into how meaningful connections are, how cultivating consistency is key in life, and how important YOU are to you. Connection is your responsibility; how are you achieving connections in your life?
I'm sharing a few studies about how keeping consistent routines helps to increase happiness. What is keeping you from being consistent? What is the fuel in your tank? What is motivating you? Taking care of yourself and focusing on yourself is important. Finding value in connection, consistency, and yourself will help you reach your goals and keep moving forward.

I hope August has been treating you kindly so far! In today's episode, I'm talking about something that is top-of-mind for me right now. I've dedicated the month of August to transitioning. For me and our methodology inside the membership, fall is a season of progress. September can be a time for burnout and checking in with yourself.
This is an action-oriented episode today. We're taking inventory of our environments and collecting data so we can make the next best decision. I'll guide you through an exercise that asks you to list ten spaces you spend the most time in.
Then, you'll choose the top three that have the biggest impact on your time and list what you do in these spaces and how each space makes you feel. Next, you'll map out what you need to do to feel how you'd like and schedule a specific time on your calendar to make the necessary changes to reach that goal. We're cleaning up your environments to help you keep reaching goals with ease while feeling supported.
As a reminder, enrollment for Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership ends today, August 19th. Check out the link below!

It's time for a reset! It's August, and we're coming off a great summer and transitioning into a new season. In today's episode, I'm walking you through a reset you can develop into a ritual. The exercises I share in this episode come from our Ready.Set.Reset Workbook (linked below). The purpose of this reset is to get you out of survival, stress, overwhelm, and anxiety and get you into action.
This reset helps set the tone for when you're ready to map out your month. We'll work on how you want to feel, the things you have to change in order to feel that way, the thoughts causing you stress, what you need to release, and how to rate task priority and importance.
This reset will leave you feeling empowered and equipped to handle tomorrow.
Open Enrollment for Cowgirls Over Coffee Membership is August 12-19. Check out the link below!

Today's conversation is fitting as it will help us all as we go into a new season. My friend Lexi Wright is here to talk about balancing goals in business, farming, and family. Lexi has her own marketing agency, Back Pocket Social, a podcast called Farming on Purpose, and a new farm with a long list of needed projects.
Lexi dives into the strategies that have changed her mindset on goal planning and execution. By cutting time into three sections, she has learned how to restructure and refocus to reach the goals that really matter and let go of the shame of when the little things don't get done. This method of goal planning alleviates setting yourself up for failure and gives the things you focus on purpose.
Farming on Purpose is a podcast that brings together success stories from family farms and ranches and addresses industry trends so you can implement what works best for your operation.
Back Pocket Social is a marketing agency specializing in social media, email marketing, and advertising for growing brands focused on excellent customer journeys.

On today’s episode, I’m doing some reflection as we near the end of summer and look ahead to the next season. I’m sharing six lessons from this summer that have served me so well that I’m taking them into fall. Some of these things were intentionally cultivated, and some were unintentional, but the work I’ve done this summer on my foundations has me feeling so grounded and prepared to lean into what fall has to offer as I enter my season of progress.

Nobody panic, but we’re almost through July! It’s the perfect time for this powerful conversation I had with Dakota Dawn Johnson in today’s episode. We’re talking about navigating our own expectations, and I want to encourage you to have this same conversation with the people in your life. What are your expectations for yourself?
Dakota shares that while she’s always thinking about cowboys, kids, cattle, etc., she has to remind herself that we all have different buckets we’re navigating. She shares a visual of Dusti Crain-Dickerson while Roman Riding and how she’s in control and has the reins. So do we. We can change direction or expectations at any time.
We talk about how saying “no” isn’t necessarily a hard no, but rather, you’re finding the right “yes” that fits with the season of life you’re in right now. Dakota shares a personal and recent story that shows how she went from responding “yes” on the spot to giving herself the space to be more intentional with her time. You can learn to say “no” to something but “yes” in other ways.
Getting clear on your priorities so you know what the best things to say “no” and “yes” to are is important and will always be a work in progress for us all. When you choose to change expectations, different opportunities can arise.

Meg Scales is back for a conversation filled with life updates ranging from hay season and summer chaos to vulnerability about today’s topic. This episode is the next step in the conversation about quitting that we had a few weeks ago on the podcast. We know how we feel about quitting; the next questions are: What do success and accomplishment mean to us? And how have they changed in different seasons of life?
Looking back at our younger years, we had different ideas, goals, and capacities of what accomplishment and success looked like, but they have shifted and grown as we have done the same. As we check in with ourselves, we don’t need to move forward with old narratives; everything can pivot as we experience more in life.
Meg shares how academic drive was always a marker of success to her, but it’s now shifted to a curiosity for knowledge that helps her continue to grow. I share how, in a past season of life, being a CEO by 29 meant success. My definition of success was informed by my deep need for validation. Now, success means I want to feel contentment in the pursuit instead of assuming that the contentment will come from attainment.
What does success look like to you? Let’s use this conversation to inspire each other!

We talk a lot about doing more of what matters in our planning. We look at what we have the capacity for, and we improve the way we do things. But what we omit during planning is looking at the things not getting done. Today's episode is about finding peace with the things we aren't doing. It's just as important to recognize them as the things we are getting done.
I'll cover the two ways we don't get things done: on purpose and off purpose. On purpose is what we are choosing not to do. That entails intentionality and deliberate choices. Off purpose is when those things slip through the cracks, get buried, or we simply don't have the time or capacity to complete them.
I encourage you to start making more margin and space to do what matters, which means we can look at what we haven't gotten done with some grace and perspective to make peace with it all. It doesn't mean we are good with not getting things done; it just means we're more present and grounded in the things we are getting done.
Our FREE Set the Tone Workbook can help you navigate the practice of spending time on what matters. It is linked below! Take a look at everything on your plate and spend time doing, delegating, deferring, or dismissing.

Happy July! I love the first week of July, and it has me thinking more about using this summer season for priming, taking care of ourselves, being deliberate, and being present. I want us to take this season to set ourselves up for success. One reason I believe we all hit roadblocks in being successful is that we don't take the time to really look at ourselves, at what we're doing, and take inventory of what's going on in our lives.
In this episode, I'm sharing tips and prompts to get you focused on figuring out who you are and determining if everything you're doing in your life aligns with who you are. Taking this deep dive into assessing your life is something you can develop into a daily practice. I want to encourage you to take this week to be super curious about yourself. Use the prompts I share to look at what you're doing daily, figure out why you are doing those things, and what really matters.
Our priorities compete for attention, and a lot of them are equally important. Let's figure out what energizes you, motivates you, drives you. This will set us up for success as we continue the backside of 2024. A tool to help you with just that is our Set the Tone workbook, link below!
