Do you ever feel like caring for your dog has become just another task on your endless to-do list? In today's bonus episode, I sit down with Tori Mistick aka “Martha Stewart of dogs”, a certified canine enrichment specialist and host of Dog Enrichment with Tori Mistick, to talk about how simple 5-minute dog rituals can become stress-relief systems that help you recharge and boost productivity. Mama, you have a PURPOSE—but to truly feel like yourself again and stop drowning in your day-to-day, you need strategies that bring balance without adding more to your plate. Let's dive into this incredible conversation with Tori and discover how work-life balance can be found in the simplest shifts! What You'll Learn in This Episode: 🐾 How enrichment is really about bonding, not babysitting—and how that applies to solopreneurs and WAHMs 🐾 How dogs model being present, play, and rest—lessons that help you recharge during demanding seasons 🐾 How five minutes of enrichment can boost your productivity later in the day 🐾 Practical ways to transform dog rituals into intentional stress-relief systems So excited for you to jump in!

(03:01): Introduction (6:39): How Tori discovered that simple dog rituals became stress-relief systems while building a business (10:15): Making time for yourself while prioritizing "mom life" with dogs—lessons for solopreneurs, WAHMs, and homeschoolers (16:13): 5-minute dog enrichment activities that boost productivity (22:49): How to time calming activities vs. high-energy play for recharging (26:19): How dogs teach us to be present and find balance in daily life (30:40): How Tori balances her ambitions and family life Quotable Moments "And I think you'll start to crave this balance. It doesn't have to be an overwhelming thing. You don't necessarily have to take your dog out for an hour. You could play for five or 15 minutes and still get a lot of benefit out of that." "There are studies that show that when you start training them and they have those early wins, they get more excited about learning more things and trying new things. And they're less anxious in unfamiliar situations, which that kind of resiliency is so important for people and for dogs.” "And so that was really kind of an aha moment, a turning point in realizing that we're really a team. And when we work together and do stuff that enriches both our lives, it's just a win for everyone."

You weren't made for feeling stuck in a career that no longer aligns with your values. Yet every day feels like a push-pull—between the career you've built, the family depending on you, the guilt about wanting something different, and the fear of making a change and failing. But what if the reason you're feeling stuck isn't because you're failing or indecisive… but because you're making decisions based on fear instead of your unique values? In today's episode, I'm walking you through a life planning framework to get unstuck from the wrong job so you can finally move toward a career aligned with you and your vision. These are the exact strategies I used in my own life—each one designed to shift you from uncertainty and hesitation to confident action, and bring clarity about whether to stay in your current role or pursue a career change.

You can build simple systems that free you from constant decision fatigue. In today's episode, I show you how systems simplify, prioritize, and save time, resources, and mental energy for busy moms. These five key benefits of well-designed systems create predictable success and help you reclaim your time and energy. Every system you build is an opportunity to reduce overwhelm and create more space for what truly matters. Don't waste precious mental bandwidth on tasks that could be systemized and automated. I also share what I call the most important mindset shift for ambitious moms: externalizing memory into systems rather than trying to keep everything in your head. Today, I'm showing you how I transform chaos into clear playbooks (instead of drowning in overwhelm, which I did for years). PLUS a simple prompt that helps you identify exactly where to start building systems. It's a practical starting point every overwhelmed mom needs. In just 20 minutes, you can gain the clarity to start building systems that actually work.
