Dog Mom Self-Care: Why taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for your dog
Description
When the world feels heavy — or your dog’s health or behavior challenges have you running on empty — how do you find your calm again?
This episode is your reminder that your dog doesn’t need you to be perfect; they need you to be present.
We’re rethinking self-care as something deeper than bubble baths and timeouts — it’s an energetic reset that helps both you and your dog feel more grounded and connected. In this episode, we’ll learn simple, free exercises to do right now — no equipment or experience needed.
Raechel Winters shares why self-care is essential for dog moms and walks us through a powerful yoga breathing technique you can do anywhere, anytime. (19:21 )
Neurosomatic intelligence practitioner Sofia Ejaz explains the mind-body connection with two easy nervous system exercises (you’ll just need a cloth and a straw) (36:30 ).
Writer and breathwork guide Katya Lidsky opens up about her unexpected lessons from dogs and breathwork — and guides us through an exercise we can do alongside our dogs (1:14:25 ).
Whether it’s the chaos of the world or the stress of caring for your dog, this episode will leave you feeling more grounded, present and deeply connected — to yourself and your animals.
