Season 2 Opener

We are excited to welcome you to Season 2 of the All Focus N' Grit Breakaway Roping Podcast. In this episode Jennifer, Coti, and Dusti talk about how this season is a perfect time to practice and get better each day. At the time of this recording we are in strange times with a pause in our western life. Many rodeos and jackpots have been postponed or canceled and we can let it get us down or we can show up for each day and get better.
Yes, it is strange times but we can strive in the chaos. Set goals, jump into this season as a learner, and practice hard because rodeos and jackpots will start again and once they do you will want to be prepared.
During our pause between Season 1 and Season 2 a website for All Focus N' Grit was created. The website is a fantastic place to stay connected with us and meet our guests. This website is a work in progress. Our vision for the website is for you to have a place to go to see upcoming breakaway roping events and a place for videos and blogs with tips and breakaway roping advice.
You can check out the website at www.breakawayropingafg.com
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Dream Big and Rope Sharp

Kacey Gartner, Listen to Your Heart | Season 2, Episode 3

Kacey Gartner is a wife, a mother, a business owner, a beautician, and a barrel racer. Yes, I said it a barrel racer. You may be wondering why we are talking about barrel racing on a breakaway roping channel. Glad you asked. What Kacey talks about in the episode not only applies to barrel racing but applies to breakaway roping, being an entrepreneur, being a friend, and just being a good human.
Kacey made it into the top ten of The American Rodeo finals, all the way to AT&T Stadium. For those of you listening and are not sure what The American is Google it or just trust me it is a major accomplishment to make it inside those doors.
Kacey shares with us the importance of having a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset. And that having a growth mindset is not just something that happens to you. She explains that a dream is not reality, your reality is the hard work that goes in behind chasing your dreams. And that accomplishing your dreams is all in God's time, your job is to do the daily work.
As you listen to this podcast take time to reflect on what your heart is saying. Are you listening to your heart or you listening to the outside noise?
