This episode aired a few years ago and it’s being re-released today. This episode is all about chilling out and getting your calm on. These are time-tested methods I’ve used in my own life when the poop hits the fan (or I’m frazzled); my coaching clients have also had good success with these suggestions. Try one or more of these methods and let me know if they work for you too!

This episode aired a few years ago and it’s being re-released today. The pet business coaching client I’m working with on this episode is Alexis, the owner of Hand and Hound Pet Sitting. After ten years of pet sitting for neighbors and friends, Alexis Campbell turned her side job into a full-fledged business in 2019. Hand and Hound Pet Sitting serves clients in the Phoenix area, and strives to be “like your neighbor, but with more credentials,” making relationships with families and their pets. In 2021, Hand and Hound hired their first employees, and doubled their revenue. Now at 8 part-time employees, they are hoping to expand even more in 2022.  Like many pet business owners, Alexis is feeling very overwhelmed, and this coaching session is all about how she can best deal with the overwhelm. I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy this coaching session with Alexis.

In this podcast episode replay from a few years ago, you’ll meet Cora, a pet business owner navigating the impact of depression and anxiety on her pet business and her life When feeling well, Cora is high-energy, responsive, and prompt with billing. However, during depressive episodes, she feels physically and mentally blocked, causing client communication and routine business tasks to stall for weeks at a time. As you listen, I want to emphasize that I, Kristin Morrison, am a business and life coach – not a medical professional or therapist – the session is designed solely to help Cora manage her business operations during low periods, not to diagnose or treat her condition. Anyone struggling with anxiety or depression is strongly encouraged to seek help from a medical professional. This episode highlights the reality of running a business while living with a mental health condition. Thank you to Cora for her courage in speaking up, to give a voice to the many pet industry entrepreneurs facing similar challenges while also helping all listeners build deeper empathy for invisible struggles.

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! Visit prosperouspetbusiness.com/breathwork to find out more to secure your spot – and start breathing your way to more freedom in your body, mind and spirit.

Abby runs a dog walking and pet sitting business with a co-owner. In this coaching session, Abby discusses challenges in growing her pet business. She’s expanded the client base by taking on clients outside the original area and have tried low-tech advertising methods like door hangers and lawn signs, with lawn signs being particularly successful. But when it’s snowing in Buffalo, New York, lawn signs are not an option! Despite efforts to increase word-of-mouth referrals and collect reviews, they haven’t seen noticeable results. In this session, pet business coach Kristin Morrison shares some low-cost and no cost marketing ideas with Abby – ideas that you can use in your business too!

This episode is about something no one glamorizes when running a pet business: the messy middle. This can often look like confusion, second-guessing, restructuring, and uncomfortable change. If you’ve ever questioned your pricing, outgrown clients, rewritten your offers, or wondered whether you’re cut out for this at all – this episode is for you. Social media shows the butterflies. It rarely shows the goo. But that dissolving stage? That’s where real transformation happens. If your business feels like it’s falling apart right now, take this as your reminder: you’re not behind, broken, or incapable. You might just be in the goo stage – and that’s exactly where becoming begins.
