34. Prioritizing your own SELF CARE makes you a better HUMAN for your pet + for animals around the world

Have you ever heard of the saying "fill your own cup first"? Have you ever heard of the term "mom guilt"? Have you ever heard of either of those sayings when it relates to being the best YOU that YOU can be for YOUR pet & for animals around the world?

I have heard both of those sayings countless times... but I have not heard much talk about them when it comes to the animal advocacy or pet parent world. So, I felt called to talk about it.

A few days ago, I found myself having a shorter temper than usual with Chewy. I was able to become self aware of it & I started questioning whether or not I had been taking care of myself, & how that was translating into the way I was speaking to Chewy.

In this episode, I dive deep into that situation and the concept that we all DESERVE to put our selves first, even sometimes before our animals. Not only do we deserve it, but it's NECESSARY. It's necessary because when we don't take care of ourselves.... NOBODY BENEFITS! You don't benefit. Your pets don't benefit. The animals you are advocating for don't benefit.

But when you take care of YOU and release the guilt around that.... THAT is when you show up as the best version of YOU that you can possibly be... and that is when EVERYBODY benefits... including you, your pet, & animals around the world.
