38. Lessons from This Summer I’m Taking with Me into Fall

Cowgirls Over Coffee

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.

37. Navigating Your Own Expectations & Saying No... But, Yes

Cowgirls Over Coffee

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...

36. The Dynamic Nature of Success & Accomplishment

Cowgirls Over Coffee

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...

35. Making Peace with What's Not Getting Done

Cowgirls Over Coffee

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...

34. You Think You Know, But You Have No Idea

Cowgirls Over Coffee

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...

33. Pause and Breathe

Cowgirls Over Coffee

Today’s episode is a little different, but I know you’ll enjoy it! As we are winding down June, I wanted to check in with you and make sure you’re prioritizing the foundation of core care. While it can seem overwhelming to take care of yourself, I encourage you to choose just one thing to work on to improve your well-being. Breathwork is a great practice that will give you intentionality and presence. In this episode, I’m sharing a recorded session with Kelsey Larson, a breathwork expert, held in our Cowgirls Over Coffee membership earlier this month. Kelsey teaches different...

32. How Do You Feel About Quitting?

Cowgirls Over Coffee

Are you ever laying in bed at night thinking you’re ready to quit everything and burn it all down? In today’s episode Meg and I are talking about the ways we quit on ourselves and in our lives. How do we know what to intentionally quit? What things are we quietly quitting? Why does the action of and even the word quitting make us so uncomfortable? This conversation includes all sides of quitting including that it’s okay to not be okay with quitting. The name of the game is balance and today’s episode goes in depth on aligning activities with priorities, checking in with yourself, and...

31. Speaking of Summer ...

Cowgirls Over Coffee

Meg and I are back to talk about how we want to go into this summer season with a new mindset. In today’s episode we cover the importance of making a plan for your summer by setting deliberate intentions and realistic expectations. We want to alleviate the grief we can feel as summer slips away and we haven’t accomplished what we had hoped. Meg shares her planning process: instead of looking at what everyone else needs this summer, asking herself what she needs and reverse engineering the plan from there. I share how my summer planning entails scheduling things I want to do in ways that...

30. You Don't Have to Catch Up

Cowgirls Over Coffee

In today’s episode I wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with you about an epiphany I had that has alleviated stress and anxiety from my life. It’s a simple strategy, but makes a big impact when we truly believe it: you don’t have to catch up. Start where you’re at and go from there; you don’t have to back track. Think about the time and effort you’ll save if you don’t go backwards and instead dive in where you can and keep going forward. The thought of having to catch up can overwhelm and lead to no action. Taking action helps create momentum and provides clarity to keep...

Dakota is the host of the podcast Cowgirl Confessions, works in sales for Ariat, and owns a feeder calf operation with her husband.

More Episodes

On today’s episode, Lana and I are chatting all about encouragement. We are reflecting back on our experience at Art of the Cowgirl and the exercise of encouragement that we had the opportunity to facilitate and therefore witness genuine encouragement being given and received. We touch on what encouragement means to us and the importance of being vulnerable, authentic, and present when offering support.
