Show Notes

When you're a devoted pet caregiver, it's easy to forget that caring for yourself is part of the job.

In this conversation, Gail and Karen reflect on the small but powerful rituals that sustain them—sniff walks, porch time, cups of tea, and the quiet presence of their animal companions. They also explore how grief threads itself through everyday routines when we’re supporting pets through illness or loss. What happens when the things that once soothed us—like evening cuddles or nature walks—are tied to a beloved pet who’s no longer there?

Join us for a thoughtful episode that invites you to reflect on your own self-care practices, and to notice the healing moments that might already be woven into your day.
