I can help you out with that. Because I've been there... deep in the caverns of depression and anxiety and I learned first hand how to pull myself out.

… you had a way to keep yourself on track with healthy routines?

… you had tools to create a strong immune system, find contentment, feel connected and increase you and your dog’s longevity?

… you could do all these things and not have to wonder if you’re doing it right?

… you could become more compassionate, in charge and empowered to transform your stress into happiness?

… you didn't feel guilty about not doing enough.

… your dog’s demeanor when their reactions to stressors are more balanced?

… the strength of the bond between you.

I have a deep relationship with stress. And not the kind where you call your BFF after it leaves to tell her how wonderful it is.

(ring, ring) "Hi, Kate it's me. GUESSSSS WHAT!!? Anxiety just came over and SPENT THE NIGHT. It's just so incredible how it wraps me in it's clutches, whispers dirty words in my ear and tells me it'll never leave me. Soooo dreamy, um I mean, such a nightmare!"

My relationship to bad thoughts was the kind that wrecks you to the core.

So I went on a journey to find some answers that would alleviate my constant anxiety cycle of what-ifs, recurring thoughts, doubt and overwhelm. 

I suffered enough and I finally got help. I thought, "if I can help others, everything will be okay and I won't have to feel pain anymore". So I went to get trained as a life coach to do just that.

 And boy was I WRONG! I was so wrong you have to pronounce the W just for emphasis.

Ever hear the phrase "You teach what you need to learn"? Well, that was me as I sat in life coach school sobbing my eyes out, having breakthroughs and massive realizations about how I was in control of my thoughts--in front of a crowd no less. 

This wasn't the first time I learned this. As a teenager, I suffered from a debilitating anxiety disorder that left me isolated and alone. After ten gruesome years, I figured out how to save myself. And that was the first time I learned that I was in control. 

Fast forward 20 years and I find myself once again wondering why my ex-anxiety had come back to haunt me--during my dog Laker's cancer diagnosis. I fell into a deep tailspin of the never-ending cycle of anxiety, realizing there were some remnants left over from my early days that I needed to clean up. 

This time I found myself a coach and learned that anxiety doesn't just go away, you have to change your relationship to it. You have to change the meaning of your thoughts in order for that swirling tornado that lives above your head looking to strike can be turned into shade from the beating sun. In other words, when you change your relationship to negative thoughts, the thoughts don't mean as much to you anymore.

Through being in the self-development world for over 20 years and experiencing suffering first hand as well, I learned how to teach people to have a better relationship with their feelings to bring a sense of peace to their lives. And to enhance and elevate their relationship to their pets to boot!

And giving our pets our anxiety is something we would never choose to do. We wouldn't even choose it for our worst enemy.

Eventually, after learning the science and doing the stress-reducing methods I’ll explain in this membership, I started noticing changes in my dogs for the better! They were disease free, more vibrant and overall happy pups--because I was a happy human.

Wahbam! Take that, you asshole stress boyfriend.
