  • Up level your dog knowledge

    As a dog owner, I want the best for my little guy. He’s my everything! But sometimes general nutrition isn’t enough. Tuning into the spiritual side to nourish is a new direction for me, and I’m really stoked to learn more. This show highlights actionable ways to do this with a blend of woowoo and reality. Its addicting and I’m so glad to have found it!

  • Insightful, inspirational, and informative

    I have a challenging dog and for the past 2 years I have listened to a ridiculous amount of dog behavior podcasts. I was so focused on traditional training until I came upon this podcast and this has really inspired me to slow down, consider other ways of helping my dog, and focus more on our connection. It has also opened my eyes to more natural ways of living my own life and raising my children. Alexia is so kind and lovely. She always takes the time to answer questions and offer support and I... more

  • Great content

    I just found this podcast and I’m really enjoying it. I am a certified professional dog trainer, and also run a dog rescue.

    I deeply believe that we need to connect with our dogs and nature, get off our phones and see the sentience and beauty. This podcast has great content that speaks to the nature connection

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Revisited: Samhain, Story and the Spiritual Dog. Reconnecting with the Magic of Irish Mythology with Jen Murphy
Q: What role does Irish mythology play in guiding the modern mystic today?
The discussion centers on myth as a soul-centered pathway, with Jungian and apocalyptic imaginaries, emphasizing that mythic images and archetypes become living, practical guides for daily life and leadership in a changing world.
Revisited: Samhain, Story and the Spiritual Dog. Reconnecting with the Magic of Irish Mythology with Jen Murphy
Q: How can we integrate feminine leadership and the energy of Samhain into everyday life?
Jen explains Samhain as the start of the year and a time to enter the darkness first, nourish via journaling and dream-work, then emerge with sunrise into a more masculine daily rhythm, using the season as a framework for leadership and personal transformation.
Revisited: Dampness - The Hidden Pathogen You Need to Know About with Dr Neal Loh
Q: What are some other concepts within TCM that you feel are helpful for people to know to better understand how energy flows through the body?
From the TCM lens, the body is a balance system; stagnation, heat, or cold tilt the seesaw, creating conditions for disease. External winds can cause skin itchiness, while internal wind reflects deeper circulatory issues and can manifest as neurological symptoms; dampness is the dominant pathogen, leading to skin issues, gut problems, and stubborn yeast infections. Diet, blood quality, and emotional balance all influence this balance.
Revisited: Redefining Reactivity, Recognizing Trauma in Your Dog with Dr Laura Donaldson
Q: How do we shift from labeling a dog as 'reactive' to a more productive understanding and response?
Labeling reduces complex behaviors to a single noun and obscures underlying needs. A better approach asks what relief the dog seeks and why the behavior is happening, often due to neuroception of danger and amygdala hijack. This reframes responses from suppression to addressing root causes and safety, using grounding, safe exposure, and collaborative problem-solving.
Revisited: Redefining Reactivity, Recognizing Trauma in Your Dog with Dr Laura Donaldson
Q: Could you talk a little bit more about trauma in dogs and how you define it, especially when it might not be obviously extreme?
Trauma in dogs can be present even without obvious catastrophic events; it encompasses deep emotional learnings stored in the body, with coping mechanisms that arise to keep the dog safe. Trauma is not just an event but a process that shapes perception and behavior, often manifesting as hypervigilance or avoidance. Understanding this reframes behavior from 'naughty' to a meaningful survival strategy, guiding more compassionate, informed responses.
