In this episode, I’m talking about something that hits close to home—this belief that being busy means we’re being successful. For years, I was constantly in hustle mode. I was working long hours, trying to say yes to every opportunity, and doing everything I thought I was supposed to do to grow my business.

But even with all that effort, I still felt stuck and overwhelmed—and my income didn’t reflect the energy I was pouring in.

Now, my business looks totally different. I work about 20 hours a week, I’ve created consistent income, and I market in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. I want that kind of freedom for you too.

So in this episode, I’m unpacking how to shift out of the burnout cycle, stop equating busyness with success, and start creating a business that actually works for your life.

In this episode, I get real about the chaos I’ve been facing at home with building work and how it’s tested my motivation. If you’re a pet business owner juggling work, family, and all the demands life throws at you, I want you to know you’re not alone. I talk about how motivation isn’t a constant feeling—it comes and goes—and why taking action often helps me find motivation instead of waiting for motivation to strike first.

I share the practical strategies I use to keep moving forward, even when I don’t feel motivated. From creating business systems that run on autopilot to knowing my non-negotiables and having a “low energy menu” of easy tasks, these tools help me stay on track without burning out. I also talk about why resting without guilt is so important and how I stay focused on the long-term vision when progress feels slow.

If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or you just need a reminder that you don’t have to be motivated all the time to succeed, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing something that every pet business owner eventually faces: knowing when it’s time to let go of a service. This isn’t always easy—we pour our hearts into our offers, and it can feel scary or even “wrong” to release something we’ve spent time and energy building. But what if letting go is the exact move that creates more space, more alignment, and ultimately, more income?

I’ll take you behind the scenes of how I personally evaluate what stays and what goes in my business. We’ll talk about the questions I ask myself, the data I look at, how I gauge energetic drain versus fulfillment, and what role profit and demand really play in my decision-making process.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by parts of your business that no longer feel like a fit—but weren’t sure what to do next—this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to pivot with purpose.

It’s okay to evolve. Your business should grow with you.

If you're relying solely on social media to attract new clients, you're missing out on one of the most powerful tools in your marketing toolbox—email sequences! Unlike social media, email allows you to build deeper, more personal relationships with your audience, nurture leads over time, and gently guide people toward booking your services or buying your digital products… all on autopilot.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the five essential email sequences that every pet business owner should have in place. Whether you're a dog trainer, pet sitter, groomer, walker, or offer any other pet service or digital product, these sequences will help you nurture a better relationship with your subscribers and increase your bookings and revenue—without feeling salesy or spammy.

I break down what each sequence does, why it matters, and what to include so you’re never stuck wondering what to say. These are practical, pet biz-specific strategies that you can put into action right away—even if writing emails isn’t your favorite thing.

You’re not starting from scratch—you’re just repackaging what already works with your clients into a format that gives you more freedom.

If this sparked ideas, don't just sit on them—take action. That’s where the magic happens.
