What's Happening in April: Welcome to Q2

If you've ever launched something for your pet business and heard nothing but crickets, you're not alone! I'm sharing three launch strategies that are actually working in 2025. These are based on what I'm seeing work in real time, not just in my own business, but in the petpreneur community too. You'll hear why old launch tactics just aren't cutting it anymore, and how to warm up your audience, use micro launches, and tell your story across multiple platforms to get better results without burning out. I also share an update about the new podcast I'm launching for pet parents on October 1st. It's a big shift, and it's deeply meaningful to me.

After an unexpected break, I'm back on the mic with a deeply personal update. In this solo episode, I'm sharing why I've been away from the podcast—and what's ahead for Wear Wag Repeat. Losing my sweet Lucy earlier this summer reshaped everything for me. So I'm opening up about that experience, what it taught me, and how it's inspired me to return to my original mission: helping pet parents live their best life with their dogs. I'm also giving you a look at what's next for the podcast, why I'm adjusting my content balance, and how I'll continue supporting petpreneurs—just in a more aligned way.
