Episode 36: Be the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are- Starting the New Year With Kindness
Episode 37
Saturday, 17 January, 2026

As a new year begins, we’re trading pressure and perfection for something better: kindness. In this episode, we talk about our hopes and positive intentions for the year ahead—adding more gentleness, self-care, and compassion not just for ourselves, but for our dogs and our communities too. From letting go of unrealistic expectations to noticing the small moments that matter, we explore how kindness can shape the way we show up—for our dogs, for each other, and for ourselves. No rigid resolutions here—just thoughtful reflections, a few laughs, and a reminder that doing less and caring more can be a powerful place to start. Pour a cup of something warm, grab your pup, and join us as we welcome the new year with softer intentions and open hearts. 🐾💛
