Baxter’s heading out…

After making enemies with… pretty much everyone 😅
Let’s just say…
🐱 Cats:
“He was relentless … we’re not sad.”

🐔 Chickens:
“We’re going to need a few days to recover.”

🐴 Horses:
“Big energy… no awareness.”
Even after being rolled

🐶 Dog:
“How many times do I have to bark at you…
for you to understand boundaries?!”

😂😂😂

And honestly…
He just wanted someone to play with.

He just didn’t understand:
👉 boundaries
👉 timing
👉 connection So now I’m curious…

If the animals could talk…

👉 What do you think they’d say as the trailer drives away?

It’s funny how life can look so beautiful from the outside…

The alpaca and the lamb meeting for the first time.
Feeding the chickens in the quiet of the morning.
Standing in the bunkhouse watching a dream take shape.

And it is beautiful. I don’t want to miss that.

But if I’m being honest…
there’s also a whole other side that doesn’t make the picture.

The mental load.
The questions.
The pressure to keep showing up.
The moments where my mind feels full before the day even begins.

Some days it all looks simple…
and inside it feels like a battle.

A battle to stay grounded.
A battle to believe what I know is true.
A battle to not let the weight of it all steal the joy of what’s right in front of me.

And maybe that’s what I’m learning in this season…

That two things can exist at the same time.

✨ It can be beautiful… and hard.
✨ It can be meaningful… and mentally stretching.
✨ It can look like a dream… and still require fighting for peace in your mind.

So today, I’m choosing honesty over pretending.

Choosing to slow down.
Choosing to come back to what’s true.
Choosing to see the beauty… without denying the battle.

If you’re in a season like that too… you’re not alone. 🤍

We don’t have to have it all together to keep showing up.

And this is exactly why Josh and I are so passionate about what we teach… because we live it.

We know it works.

Mental resilience isn’t something you’re born with—
it’s something you practice. 605Roots

I kept hearing this noise, thinking it was a bird. And then I realize it’s just one of the girls I hadn’t taken the time to get to know how their brain works when fear comes.
I can tell you about ours and what I’ve learned from alpacas already.
They are all so different.
Different personalities.
Different strengths.
Different ways they respond to the world.

And none of them are out there trying to do what the other one does.
But we do that all the time, don’t we?

We step outside our lane.
We look around.
We measure.
We try to carry things that were never ours to carry.

And it feels exhausting… because it is.

🧠 Here’s the brain science behind it:

Your brain is wired to scan for safety.

So when you see someone else doing something “better,” faster, louder, more successful…

👉 Your amygdala (fear center) lights up
👉 It reads it as a threat
👉 And suddenly you feel like you’re falling behind or not enough

So what do we do?

We try to become someone else.
But here’s the truth:

Your brain settles when you come back into alignment.

When you say:
👉 “This is who I am.”
👉 “This is what I’m called to.”
👉 “I don’t have to do it all.”

That’s when your nervous system regulates.
That’s when clarity returns.
That’s when you actually move forward.
Minnie isn’t trying to be the loudest.
She’s not trying to lead the herd.
She’s not trying to prove anything.
She’s just being… exactly who she was designed to be.
And there’s peace there.
A concerned alpaca. Can even make you smile. 605 Roots Jenny Eggers

Meet Miss.May (white one)
Blanch (Golden lace) they were given to us as many of our animals are we’re so very grateful for all that they can teach.

ground—searching.

They don’t just hope food appears… they look for it.

👉 Just like our thoughts
If you’re scanning for what’s wrong, you’ll find it.
If you’re scanning for what’s good, growth, or God’s hand… you’ll find that too.

Teaching moment:

What in the world is this thing? It’s a little lizard thing I knew we had salamanders, but this.😩

04/19/2026

What do you think is in the trailer? 👀

Another incredible blessing just rolled into 605 Roots… and this one is going to deepen the way we teach presence, calm, and connection.

We’re not giving it away just yet…
But this animal has a way of slowing everything down. 🤍

Coop Thought of the Day: Velcro + Slip-and-Slide Brain

“Out here in the coop… the chickens aren’t replaying yesterday’s peck or worrying about tomorrow’s feed.

They’re just… here.”

🧠 But our brains?
They tend to:

👉 Stick like Velcro to what went wrong
👉 Let the good slide off like a slip-and-slide

* One hard comment? Sticks.
* One mistake? Replays.
* Ten good moments? Gone.

🌿 But look at the chickens…

They:

* Peck, move on
* Flap, settle down
* Stay present
* Trust provision

They don’t carry what they don’t need.

✨ Your gentle reset today:

“What if I didn’t Velcro to that?”
“What if I let that slide… and held onto what’s good instead?”

❤️“Don’t carry what the coop would shake ❤️off.”

🌾 Coop Practice (super simple):
Next good moment you notice today—

* Pause
* Take a breath
* Let it stick for 10 seconds

Train your brain to hold onto what’s life-giving.

I don’t get many pictures of me working… because we’re usually in it.
But today—this moment stopped me.

This guy amazed me at what he’s willing to do to stretch himself.

The brain is a fascinating thing. Some days, we can push a little…
and some days, we can push a lot. And knowing the difference?
That’s where the real work happens.

What we do out here isn’t random.

It’s intentional.

The drills we walk people through are designed to help connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

🧠 The left brain is logical. It processes language, steps, and structure.
🧠 The right brain is emotional. It holds experiences, connection, and the “felt” sense of life.

And for so many people—especially those who’ve walked through hard things—those two sides stop working together.
Whether it’s traumatic brain, injuries or health conditions, or stress 

The pain /story gets stuck on one side…
and the body holds it on the other.

So what do we do?

We create experiences—through movement, rhythm, and connection (especially with horses)—that begin to bridge that gap.

➡️ When both sides of the brain start communicating again:
• The nervous system begins to regulate
• The body feels safer
• Thoughts become clearer
• Emotions don’t feel so overwhelming

That’s where change happens.

Not by forcing it…
But by creating the right environment for the brain and body to reconnect.

And working with veterans…🇺🇸

It’s something we don’t take lightly.

There’s a depth there. A strength. A story that deserves to be honored.

Many have trained their brains for survival—
to stay alert, to push through, to carry more than most of us will ever understand.

And here?

They get space.

Space to breathe.
Space to reconnect.
Space to not have to carry it all alone.

Every single person who walks through here has a story.

And it is one of the greatest honors of our lives
to sit in that space with them.

To witness it.
To respect it.
And to walk alongside them—even for a moment.

🇺🇸We are so grateful for those who have served.
Your strength doesn’t go unnoticed.
And your story matters here. Jenny Eggers

Let me introduce you to the man behind the scenes at 605 Roots…

This is my husband, Josh

If 605 Roots has a heartbeat—he’s a big part of what keeps it going.

Josh grew up in Philip, South Dakota, where the Western way of life wasn’t just something you talked about—it was something you lived. Horses were a tool, a responsibility, and a teacher.

And that hasn’t changed.

Today, he’s taken that same mindset and is helping others experience what horses can teach—
about leadership, boundaries, trust, and resilience.

But one of the most powerful things I’ve watched…

Is the way he’s showing up for men.

Creating environments where men can be real.
Where they can drop the pressure, the expectations, and the weight they’ve been carrying.

Through campfires, conversations, and shared stories—
he’s helping build something that’s deeply needed:

👉 Brotherhood
👉 Honesty
👉 Healing

Josh is passionate about men’s mental health and connection, and he leads in a way that’s steady, grounded, and real.
If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, I think your husband would enjoy. Please reach out.

He may not always be front and center…
But I can promise you—he’s the engine behind a lot of what makes this place what it is.

And I’m really grateful you get to know him and oh he’s got the best sense of humor and quick wit.

We’re always so grateful when people think of us when splitting their flowers when we moved out here there wasn’t a single flower out here and now we are so looking forward to spring to see what comes back up from last year. We had a little fun.

If you’re new here… welcome it’s been a quick minute since I formally introduced myself 

I’m Jenny Eggers

I help people connect their head and heart —so they can stop living in survival mode and start living from who they truly are.

At 605 Roots, we don’t just talk about growth… we experience it.

🔥 Around the campfire in real, honest conversations  whether it would be retreats or the Bible study 
🐴 In the round pen, where horses reflect what’s really going on inside
🌿 Through experimental learning with horses we offer:
🌱 Camps that teach kids mental resilience and confidence
🤎 One-on-one coaching & group coaching
🤝 Team building experiences
🐐 And when time allows… a few farm camps, teaching kids the importance of life on the farm

The most rewarding part of what I do?

Watching people stop searching for more…
and start realizing they already have it.

That they are worthy.
That they are capable.
That they’ve been living from a false self—and it’s time to come back to truth.

I build my life 90 days at a time—
intentionally, with purpose, choosing love over fear.
That is the motto I carry into my coaching.

Because life isn’t about trying harder…
it’s about living from the right place.

✨ I’d love to hear—how you found us
and say thank you for cheering us on and for supporting us. 

Trailblazer Camp has a few openings left so check us out!
