#171: So you think you’re chasing a goal. (Spoiler alert: you’re not.)

#165: Do your past mistakes haunt you? (Let’s stop fearing your past.)
I posted a reel the other week that got a big reaction. It said that what’s making us nervous is our fear of repeating the past. This hit home with a lot of folks so I thought I’d unpack it this week and give you some...

#163: When the energy goes off the rails. (Get back on track fast.)
The energy we bring when we compete or even pick up a leash is critical to our success. After all, our dogs are brilliant at picking up on our energy! Yet even with the best of intentions, “stuff” happens and we will...
