Nurturing Your Mindset and Your Community as a Ranching Mom with Jesse Thompson

On today’s episode, Jesse Thompson and I chatted all about nurturing your mindset and your community as a ranching mom. Jesse is an incredible advocate and encourager of women in rural America. We talked all about being present in motherhood, spending our time intentionally, and how to cultivate relationships even when you live super rurally. 

Jesse was born and raised as a farmer's daughter and is now married to a rancher and raising their 3 kids on the family ranch in Northern Montana. When she’s not chasing kids or supporting her husband on the ranch, she’s working as the Executive Administrator for the Montana Angus Association and publishing the Montana Angus News. 

Somewhere along the way, she discovered a passion for writing and storytelling as well as making connections with other rural women, so she created Beyond the Fencelines. Beyond the Fencelines is a collaborative blog platform for rural women’s stories to be shared, celebrated, honored, and published. Above everything else, she believes that all rural women have a story, and those stories and voices deserve to be heard. Beyond the Fencelines is a place for those stories to be published and live on forever.

In this episode we cover: 

• The seasons of ranching and of motherhood; the good, the hard, and how they’re always changing 
• The importance of community and connections - whether online or in person - especially when you live rurally
• How to combat the lonely times and feelings of isolation in motherhood
• Being content where you’re at; settling into the moment and having the mindset shift to find internal peace
• Being intentional with how we spend our time
