Episode #175: Self Care for Busy Pet Pros

For busy pet business owners, the usual self-care like scheduling spa days or going on a weekend retreat can feel stressful when time is tight.

In this episode, you’ll learn now to reframe self-care as essential daily maintenance rather than a luxury, focusing on micro-habits that reset your nervous system without disrupting your packed workday.

In this episode you’ll discover the “Micro-Dose” Self-Care Framework to help you reclaim peace in minutes.

Learn how to easily implement 5-minute buffers between tasks, master habit stacking, say a radical “no” to protect your time and energy boundaries, and prioritize simple physical resets.

As a “recovering busy person,” you’ll hear how I used to use overworking to try and outrun difficult things and burnout.

When talk therapy couldn’t release the stress, tension and emotions I’d shoved down as I moved from task to task, I thankfully found out about breathwork – a somatic, circular breathing process that transformed my well-being. Now a certified breathwork facilitator, I’m bringing this powerful healing tool to the pet community.

Join me for a brand-new, 2-hour online breathwork circle with people attending from all over the world!

Breathwork is designed to help you find deep relief and it can help you lighten your emotional and physical load. I’m so excited for you to experience this – you may find it life-changing. I sure did! Prepare to be amazed!

Hi Kristin,

I am still considering the idea of hiring a staff member. I have spoken with a couple of clients about scaling back on walking their dogs due to my knee.

I actually started a new treatment for my knee today. It’s called softwave therapy and is a non invasive treatment that uses shockwaves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Fingers crossed it will help with my pain and inflammation so I can put off surgery for as long as possible.

I also plan to increase my rates by November 1. It has been over a year since I have done that and it will help me to start saving for the possibility of time off for recovery.

Speaking with you really helped me to realize that I need to put my own health higher up on my priority list!

Thanks again for your insight!

~Sarah
