About this listen
Sometimes, the only way forward… is slower than you planned.
In this first episode of a multi-part arc, I share the story of Roo — a highly trained dog whose emotional intensity required something deeper than obedience. What began as a standard board and train quickly turned into a lesson in presence, patience, and trust.
You’ll hear how Roo’s shutdown at drop-off forced me to throw out the plan entirely. How a bath, a muzzle, and a late-night moment shifted everything. And how the tiniest gesture — a paw on my arm — became the start of something bigger.
This episode isn’t just about a dog who needed something different. It’s about what happens when we stop measuring progress in reps and start noticing the moments that land — the ones that build connection, even in stillness.
🎧 Tone: Quiet, layered, intuitive
🔗 Let me know what questions you have about Roo — we’ve only just scratched the surface.
