And you have to have purpose to feel like you belong.”</strong></p> <p>As <em>Isn’t it Lovely?</em> prepares for a podcast hiatus after 3 incredible years, there could be no more perfect guest to usher in this change of season than the fairy god-friend who started it all by originally introducing Tracy and Rachel over a decade ago: kindred spirit, entrepreneur, ranch wife and mother, and everyone’s big sister, Tara Westerman. With grace, humor, and candor, Tara shares her own journey as a city girl who fell in love with a rancher and relocated to a literal little town on the prairie, successfully navigating her way through a wilderness season and emerging with an even stronger sense of self and purpose. Tara and Tracy explore the importance of knowing, understanding, and loving one’s core self in order to discover callings, sharpen intuition, and embark on a healthy pursuit of the things that bring joy and peace. Rachel and Tara consider the ways growth takes time and can be painful, but is always worth it in the end. Rachel ponders how to secure filming permits in Wyoming so Hallmark will film its next Christmas movie at Tara’s store, The Wanderer on Gilchrist; Tracy celebrates the fact that Tara’s husband Jeremy can handle both cattle and cellulite management with equal aplomb. </p> <p><strong>Episode Mentions:</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Tara Westerman’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tara.westerman/" target="_blank">@tara.westerman</a></p> </li> <li><p>The Wanderer on Gilchrist’s Website: <a href="https://www.wandererongilchrist.com/" target="_blank">https://www.wandererongilchrist.com/</a></p> </li> <li><p>The Wanderer on Gilchrist’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wandererongilchrist/" target="_blank">@wandererongilchrist</a></p> </li> <li><p>The Wanderer on Gilchrist’s Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wanderinghermitwheatland" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/wanderinghermitwheatland</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mentalhealthpositivity/p/C6PTvYuBiX4/?img_index=1" target="_blank">Topher Kearby “I appreciate the struggle” poem</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.bible.com/bible/111/DEU.2.7.NIV" target="_blank">Deuteronomy 2:7</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>What Are You Loving: </strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Tara: <a href="https://amzn.to/3y3v8ZF" target="_blank"><em>The Origins of You: How Breaking Family Patterns Can Liberate the Way We Live and Love</em></a><em> </em>by Vienna Pharaon; <a href="https://amzn.to/3y3v8ZF" target="_blank">Fascia Massage Tool Blaster</a></p> </li> <li><p>Rachel: <a href="https://humblroots.com/" target="_blank">Humbl Roots Carinara Sauce</a>; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dinkytownannies/" target="_blank">Annie’s Parlour</a></p> </li> <li><p>Tracy: <a href="https://www.charleston-sc.gov/" target="_blank">Charleston, South Carolina</a>; <a href="https://amzn.to/4c1kYGY" target="_blank"><em>Sullivan’s Island</em> <em>(Lowcountry Tales)</em></a><em> </em>by Dorthea Benton Frank</p> </li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Disclosure: We only recommend products we use, and all opinions expressed here are our own.

S10:E4 Isn't it Lovely How You Make Someone Feel? with Terra Koupal
<p><strong>“You are so capable of so much more than what you even realize.”</strong></p> <p>After surviving tandem bouts of Influenza B, Tracy and Rachel have rallied and are thrilled to usher in a fresh dose of inspiration by welcoming both springtime <em>and</em> Sioux Falls-based entrepreneur (and local fan favorite!) Terra Koupal to the show! Terra shares her journey to becoming an accidental influencer after welcoming <em>two</em> sets of twins (and celebrating the nuanced joys and challenges of in vitro fertilization) and explores the ways that the power of connection through family, business, and friendships can be used to comfort, encourage, empathize, and help tap into a greater life purpose. Terra and Rachel consider the significance of timing, particularly when goals and dreams take longer and require more effort, while Tracy and Terra discuss the importance of balancing vulnerability with boundaries. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Episode Mentions:</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Terra Koupal’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the.house.of.twins/?hl=en" target="_blank">@the.house.of.twins</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.amfam.com/agents/south-dakota/sioux-falls/terra-koupal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Terra Koupal’s Website</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://pigeon605.com/my-605-terra-koupal/" target="_blank"><em>Pigeon 605: </em>“My 605: Terra Koupal”</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.loulouandcompany.com/" target="_blank">Lou Lou and Company</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://elegantmommy.com/" target="_blank">Elegant Mommy</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://ignitefitness.studio/" target="_blank">Ignite Fitness Studio</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://jaminato.com/" target="_blank">Jami Nato</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>What Are You Loving:</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Terra: <a href="https://makeheadway.com/" target="_blank">Headway App</a>, <a href="https://www.maybelline.com/lip-makeup/lipstick/superstay-matte-ink-liquid-lipstick?variant=Romantic" target="_blank">Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesmallshoppe.sd/?hl=en" target="_blank">@thesmallshoppe.sd</a></p> </li> <li><p>Rachel: <a href="https://amzn.to/3TbJA8t" target="_blank"><em>You Could Make This Place Beautiful: A Memoir</em></a> by Maggie Smith</p> </li> <li><p>Tracy: <a href="https://www.renttherunway.com/shares/64060937f1e7eaac8d6cee7e692dc9b5b3f28a9d-payPerSwap-publicLink-1713551796157" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Rent the Runway</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Disclosure: We only recommend products we use, and all opinions expressed here are our own.

<p><em>The content of this podcast episode is for informational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your healthcare professional or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have.</em></p> <p><br></p> <p>It’s a celebration of health and nourishment quite literally from farm-to-table as Rachel and Tracy welcome regenerative farmer Roy Thompson to the show to discuss the healing power of food! With candor and sensitivity, Roy shares the ways his personal struggles with chronic illness, exhaustion, and discouragement led him to explore functional medicine, alternative healthcare, and nutrition, ultimately achieving a healing so transformative that it inspired a reimagining of his own farming and ranching practices. Roy and Tracy examine ways to find balance between traditional and functional medicine, while Rachel and Roy consider practical tips for accessing fresh organic food in a way that won’t break the bank. As Roy explains the connection between our bodies and the land in his explanation of regenerative farming practices, Tracy fondly evokes <em>The Lion King’s </em>“Circle of Life” song to Rachel’s delight.</p> <p><strong>Episode Mentions:</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Roy Thompson’s Website: <a href="https://tripletbrand.com/" target="_blank">https://tripletbrand.com/</a></p> </li> <li><p>Roy Thompson’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/triple.t.brand/" target="_blank">@triple.t.brand</a></p> </li> <li><p>Roy Thompson’s Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tttbrand1" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/tttbrand1</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://understandingag.com/testimonials/where-human-health-begins-one-farmers-story-of-regeneration/" target="_blank"><em>Understanding Ag: </em>“Where Human Health Begins: One Farmer’s Story of Regeneration”</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.tsln.com/news/destination-regeneration-film-shares-south-dakota-ranchers-story/" target="_blank"><em>Tri-State Livestock News: </em>“Destination Regeneration: Film Shares South Dakota Ranchers’ Story”</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/" target="_blank">Mayo Clinic</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.ifm.org/functional-medicine/what-is-functional-medicine/" target="_blank">The Institute for Functional Medicine</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.noble.org/regenerative-agriculture/" target="_blank">Regenerative Agriculture</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://brownsranch.us/" target="_blank">Gabe Brown</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Brandt_(farmer)" target="_blank">David Brandt</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://soilhealthacademy.org/team/ray-archuleta/" target="_blank">Ray Archuleta</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.misfitsmarket.com/?utm_campaign=19923090184&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paidsearch-lower&utm_content=147729598277&nw=g&kw=misfits+market&utm_term=682874517501&campaignid=19923090184&adgroupid=147729598277&adid=682874517501&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA_tuuBhAUEiwAvxkgTvmEv2vrhwBMWT8_zwWsduIekzf-M_g_RQjeAHIpckLNKmIADqkhyxoCaSMQAvD_BwE&redirect=true&promo=240310X2A" target="_blank">Misfits Market</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GibiNy4d4gc" target="_blank"><em>The Lion King’s</em> “Circle of Life”</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://josiahscoffeehouse.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Josiah’s Coffeehouse, Cafe, and Bakery</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>What Are You Loving:</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Roy: <a href="https://jocko.com/" target="_blank">Jocko Willink</a>, <a href="https://originusa.com/" target="_blank">Origin Products</a>, <a href="https://jockofuel.com/" target="_blank">Jocko Fuel</a>, <a href="https://makeheadway.com/" target="_blank">Headway App</a></p> </li> <li><p>Rachel: <a href="https://www.shutterbean.com/2011/coconut-maple-granola/" target="_blank">Shutterbean’s Coconut Maple Granola</a></p> </li> <li><p>Tracy: Roy’s recommendations of <a href="https://draxe.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Axe</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/48AkeqA" target="_blank"><em>Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey into Regenerative Agriculture</em></a><em> </em>by Gabe Brown</p> </li> </ul>
