This episode aired a few years ago and it’s being re-released today. This episode is all about chilling out and getting your calm on. These are time-tested methods I’ve used in my own life when the poop hits the fan (or I’m frazzled); my coaching clients have also had good success with these suggestions. Try one or more of these methods and let me know if they work for you too!

This episode aired a few years ago and it’s being re-released today. The pet business coaching client I’m working with on this episode is Alexis, the owner of Hand and Hound Pet Sitting. After ten years of pet sitting for neighbors and friends, Alexis Campbell turned her side job into a full-fledged business in 2019. Hand and Hound Pet Sitting serves clients in the Phoenix area, and strives to be “like your neighbor, but with more credentials,” making relationships with families and their pets. In 2021, Hand and Hound hired their first employees, and doubled their revenue. Now at 8 part-time employees, they are hoping to expand even more in 2022.  Like many pet business owners, Alexis is feeling very overwhelmed, and this coaching session is all about how she can best deal with the overwhelm. I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy this coaching session with Alexis.

In this podcast episode replay from a few years ago, you’ll meet Cora, a pet business owner navigating the impact of depression and anxiety on her pet business and her life When feeling well, Cora is high-energy, responsive, and prompt with billing. However, during depressive episodes, she feels physically and mentally blocked, causing client communication and routine business tasks to stall for weeks at a time. As you listen, I want to emphasize that I, Kristin Morrison, am a business and life coach – not a medical professional or therapist – the session is designed solely to help Cora manage her business operations during low periods, not to diagnose or treat her condition. Anyone struggling with anxiety or depression is strongly encouraged to seek help from a medical professional. This episode highlights the reality of running a business while living with a mental health condition. Thank you to Cora for her courage in speaking up, to give a voice to the many pet industry entrepreneurs facing similar challenges while also helping all listeners build deeper empathy for invisible struggles.
