Do you ever feel like caring for your dog has become just another task on your endless to-do list? In today's bonus episode, I sit down with Tori Mistick aka “Martha Stewart of dogs”, a certified canine enrichment specialist and host of Dog Enrichment with Tori Mistick, to talk about how simple 5-minute dog rituals can become stress-relief systems that help you recharge and boost productivity.

Mama, you have a PURPOSE—but to truly feel like yourself again and stop drowning in your day-to-day, you need strategies that bring balance without adding more to your plate. Let's dive into this incredible conversation with Tori and discover how work-life balance can be found in the simplest shifts!

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

🐾 How enrichment is really about bonding, not babysitting—and how that applies to solopreneurs and WAHMs

🐾 How dogs model being present, play, and rest—lessons that help you recharge during demanding seasons

🐾 How five minutes of enrichment can boost your productivity later in the day

🐾 Practical ways to transform dog rituals into intentional stress-relief systems

So excited for you to jump in!

(03:01): Introduction

(6:39): How Tori discovered that simple dog rituals became stress-relief systems while building a business

(10:15): Making time for yourself while prioritizing "mom life" with dogs—lessons for solopreneurs, WAHMs, and homeschoolers

(16:13): 5-minute dog enrichment activities that boost productivity

(22:49): How to time calming activities vs. high-energy play for recharging

(26:19): How dogs teach us to be present and find balance in daily life

• "And I think you'll start to crave this balance. It doesn't have to be an overwhelming thing. You don't necessarily have to take your dog out for an hour. You could play for five or 15 minutes and still get a lot of benefit out of that."
• "There are studies that show that when you start training them and they have those early wins, they get more excited about learning more things and trying new things. And they're less anxious in unfamiliar situations, which that kind of resiliency is so important for people and for dogs.”
• "And so that was really kind of an aha moment, a turning point in realizing that we're really a team. And when we work together and do stuff that enriches both our lives, it's just a win for everyone."

• How I developed intentional pacing strategies to move from feeling rushed and scattered to creating purposeful rhythms that support my family and values

If you're feeling the urge to gain career change clarity, this episode is for you. I'm pulling back the curtain on how I personally help moms identify their next best step through vision mapping—and how you can do the same without decision paralysis, overwhelm, or needing to have your entire future figured out.

This isn't about picking one perfect path forever or betting your entire life on a single decision. It's about exploring multiple possible futures, building clarity through small steps, and taking aligned action toward a career with your values in the forefront, so you can shift into a new career without fear of making the wrong choice.

In this episode, I walk you through how to:

• Future Cast – Explore three different versions of what your life could look like if you pursued different paths
• Explore – Identify one small step you could take in the next week to test one scenario and start gathering information
• Iterate – Continue taking small exploratory steps without committing to one rigid path, building momentum through action

If you're experiencing uncertainty or confusion about your career direction, and you are ready to pivot to meaningful work using a simple decision-making framework, then this episode is a must-listen.
