As we close out 2025, we’re cutting through the noise of New Year buzzwords, resolutions, and manifestation trends. While the desire for change is real and valid, lasting growth doesn’t come from forcing goals....it comes from a regulated nervous system that can actually hold them.
In this episode, we explore why so many New Year promises fall apart, how our nervous system influences what we can create and sustain, and why internal healing is the foundation for meaningful change. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, soften the pressure, and approach the new year from a place of capacity rather than urgency.
In this episode, we cover:
Why buzzwords and trends don’t create lasting change
The nervous system’s role in goal-setting and manifestation
Why we keep buying into New Year promises, and why they fail
What it means to “hold” the life you’re asking for
How regulation creates sustainable growth
A gentler, more embodied approach to entering the new year
This episode is for you if:
You’re tired of forcing goals that don’t stick
You want real change without burnout
You feel called to slow down and do things differently
You’re ready to create from a regulated, grounded place
Closing Thought:
You don’t need to become someone new.....you need to become resourced enough to be who you already are.

✨ Thank you to:
We’re so grateful for your support and for being part of this community.
In this episode, we share the shifts that genuinely changed our lives this year.....not because we forced change, but because we started supporting ourselves differently.
We talk about what happened when we focused on just a few key things and practiced them consistently:
Letting go of control
Moving out of judgment and into discernment
Regulating our nervous systems instead of overriding them
These shifts created more clarity, steadiness, and fulfillment than we expected, and they became the foundation we’re intentionally bringing forward into the next year.
This conversation is for anyone who feels ready for growth that actually sticks, growth that settles the body, quiets the mind, and opens the door to a life that feels aligned and sustainable.
You don’t need a complete overhaul.
Sometimes, it’s a few small, intentional shifts practiced daily that change everything.
If this episode resonated and you’re thinking, “I don’t want to do this alone,” we’d love to support you inside our membership.
This is where we practice nervous-system regulation, intuitive self-leadership, and real-life integration together, with tools, guidance, and a supportive community to walk alongside you.

Who Do You Choose to Become When Life Changes Everything?
With Amberley Snyder
What happens when the life you planned disappears in an instant — and you’re left with a choice?
In this deeply inspiring episode, Kim sits down one-on-one with Amberley Snyder, rodeo athlete, horsewoman, motivational speaker, and living example of resilience in motion.
Rather than allowing one moment to set the limits of her life, Amberley made a powerful decision: to choose who she would become next.
Together, we explore:
The internal struggles people don’t see after trauma
How Amberley lets herself feel emotions without bottling them
Why resilience isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build, daily
What returning to horses truly represented beyond the arena
How gratitude, celebrating small wins, and consistent daily steps became her foundation
Why discovering purpose is essential to moving forward when life feels uncertain
Amberley reminds us that inspiration doesn’t come from forcing positivity or ignoring pain, it comes from honouring where you are while still choosing to move forward.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that even when life changes everything, you still get to choose:
How you show up
What you focus on
And the life you continue to build
If you’re navigating change, loss, or a season that feels nothing like what you expected, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
The biggest thank you to Amberley for sharing her valuable time and wisdom with us!

In this inspiring episode of Grow Your Life with Kim & Jackie, we sit down with self-taught horse trainer Amanda Rae, who proves you don’t need the perfect beginning to create a life you are wildly proud of.
Amanda didn’t come from a horse background or a ranching family.....she simply had a dream and the willingness to start before she was “ready.” Through failure, setbacks, and learning in real time, she built her skills, earned her place, and stepped into what she once only imagined.
We talk about:
• Allowing yourself to fail and keep going• Sacrificing “one cookie now for two cookies later”• How listening to your dream can change your entire future• Why imperfect action is still action• Creating abundance by staying in the arena• Building a life you don’t need a resolution to escape
Her motto, “Do Life Great,” isn’t about perfection , it’s about presence, courage, and showing up for the life you want even when the process is messy.
This conversation aligns beautifully with our No Resolution Revolution at Grow Your Life....because when you build a life you love, you don’t need to start over every January. You just keep evolving.
Follow Amanda Rae for more connection, mindset, and inspiration, even if you’re not a horse person, her energy and approach are universal.

The No-Resolution Way To Grow: Why We're Not Waiting for January to Change
As the year wraps up, most people push through the holidays and pin their hopes on a January reboot....but what if there’s a more sustainable way?
In this episode, Kim & Jackie unpack the No-Resolution Revolution , the shift happening inside their membership, where change isn’t forced, frantic, or driven by pressure. It’s created in the quiet, trusted moments where you listen to your body instead of “shoulding” your way through life.

In this episode of Grow Your Life with Kim and Jackie, we dive into a truth most people never learn: your body can be taught to expect ease. When your nervous system has lived in fight, pressure, or survival mode for too long, your cells literally brace for the next hard thing....even when good things are trying to come in.
We break down how intention, small daily shifts, and nervous system regulation can reset your homeostatic thermostat and help your body anchor into a new normal: one that feels lighter, calmer, more open, and more receptive to joy. If you’ve been living in “hard mode,” this conversation is your permission slip to soften and start again.

In this episode of Grow Your Life, Kim and Jackie open up a grounded and honest conversation about what it really means to pursue a dream that isn’t mainstream. If your path looks different from what your family, friends, or community expect, you’re not alone and you’re not wrong for wanting more.
We normalize the reality that not everyone will understand or support your vision, and why that’s completely okay. You’ll learn how to stay confident and rooted in your purpose, even when your dream feels unconventional.
This episode is your reminder that your dream is valid, needed, and worth pursuing. The world needs people who are willing to follow the pull toward something greater, even when the path isn’t traditional. Perfect for anyone building a life, business, or identity that doesn’t fit the mold and ready to trust themselves anyway.

In this episode of Grow Your Life with Kim & Jackie, we explore the concept of energetic honesty......noticing how our thoughts, emotions, and actions (or lack thereof) shape our world.
You’ll learn how self-honesty isn’t about judgment, but about awareness, and how letting go of the stories we attach to our feelings creates space for peace, healing, and aligned action.
We’ll share real-life insights on how this shows up with our animals, our families, and our daily choices, and how one small energetic shift can recalibrate your entire blueprint.

In this week’s episode, Kim & Jackie unpack one of the most overlooked healing frequencies....joy.
You’ll learn how joy isn’t something to earn after the work is done, but a built-in system reboot that keeps your energy, focus, and nervous system aligned in the middle of life’s chaos.
We’ll explore:
✨ Why your body postpones joy (and how to rewire that pattern)
✨That Joy has scientifically proven benefits to our chemistry
✨ A somatic practice to borrow the frequency of joy in real time
✨ Practical ways to use micro-moments of joy to build resilience and clarity
And if joy feels out of reach right now..... that’s okay. Start with regulation. When your body feels safe, joy follows naturally.
Whether you’re leading a business, running a farm, raising a family, or just trying to stay grounded in a busy world, this episode will help you return to your natural power: joy.
Try This:
👉 Joy Ping Challenge: Three times a day, pause for 20 seconds and notice something that brings you genuine ease or delight.
👉 Logic & Joy Check-In: When you’re overthinking, ask “What does my logic see, and what does my intuition know?”
👉 Celebrate Early: Take one deep breath of appreciation after each task, teach your body that joy can happen mid-creation, not just at the end.

In this episode, Kim & Jackie dive into the truth about energy and holistic healing—what it really means, why it matters, and how it’s impacted their own lives.
So many people hear the word “energy” and picture something mystical or out of reach. But the truth is, everything is energy.....from the way your heart beats to the way your body communicates at a cellular level. When stress, trauma, or old patterns block this natural flow, it can leave us feeling stuck or unwell. Holistic healing isn’t about adding something outside of you; it’s about removing the blocks so your body can do what it was created to do: heal.
Kim & Jackie share:
How science explains energy in the body in everyday terms
Why “unblocking” the system creates room for the body to repair and restore
Real-life insights on how energy healing has transformed their own health and the lives of others
Tune in to learn how understanding energy, without the “woo”......can help you step into deeper health, peace, and possibility.

How AIM fits into her busy life as a leader in the cattle industry.
Why holistic healing, mindset, and intuition are vital for the future of both people and animals.

Why choosing to heal is choosing a new way of living
What transformation looks like when you allow yourself to be worthy of joy

In this episode, we dive deep into a conversation with Terra Dawn, life strategist and healing coach, about why healing is not just important, but essential.
We explore why healing matters.
The first step? Becoming aware, taking accountability, and committing to your own inner work.
This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level solutions. It’s about real transformation... the kind that shifts how you feel, how you show up, and how you connect to yourself, your kids, and your community.
Healing can feel overwhelming at first, but Terra reminds us why it’s always worth it.
In this episode you’ll hear:
Why healing is essential, not optional.
How to begin with awareness and accountability.
Why accessibility to healing matters and how to start with what’s available to you.
The transformational ripple effect of doing your inner work.
Why it’s worth the effort, every single time.

1 in 5 kids—and 1 in 5 adults—are struggling with mental and emotional health. But here’s the deeper truth: the nervous system is where these patterns begin, and unless they’re cleared, they carry forward into every stage of life.
In this episode, we dive into:
How kids encode experiences and turn them into beliefs.
Why unprocessed emotions don’t disappear—they become identity.
The “false pillars” kids unconsciously build on: I’m behind, I’m broken, I’m not enough.
The Four Pillars of Foundation that create safety and belonging.
Why regulation is the inheritance your children need—whether they’re 6 or 36.

In this raw and revealing episode, Kim opens up about the hidden cost of living in a chronic state of “doing.” She shares how years of being productive, helpful, and constantly busy masked a deeper truth—her nervous system was stuck in survival mode.

This is more than a story—it’s an invitation to stop abandoning yourself in the name of being “fine.”
What You’ll Hear:

The connection between self-abandonment and chronic fatigue
What shifted when Kim stopped “hustling” and started regulating

The Soft Life on a Hard Schedule: Slowing Down in a Fast-Paced World
What if softness isn’t about doing less… but about holding life differently?
In this episode of Grow Your Life with Kim & Jackie, we unpack the myth that the “soft life” is only for the privileged — and show how softness is actually a nervous system state, not an aesthetic.
We explore how choosing calm over chaos doesn’t mean opting out of your life — it means shifting the way you move through it.
It means regulating, slowing the internal pace, and allowing more ease in the middle of everything that’s still hard, still full, still demanding.
We're normalizing softness as something that's not only allowed, but necessary.
Necessary for healing.
Necessary for expansion.
Necessary for receiving the miracles that are already meant for you.
✨ You are not broken.
✨ You are not behind.
✨ You are a miracle — and you are meant for more than just surviving your life.
