After Hours Episode #81: In our latest episode of After Hours, I’m getting real about something we all need but rarely make time for—protecting your energy. I talk about what it really means to grow, set boundaries (yes, even at work), and take care of yourself without guilt. I open up about some of my own challenges with burnout and learning to hold myself accountable. Plus, I’ve got a simple challenge for you: just 10 minutes a day for you. I’ll even walk you through a quick five-minute grounding meditation you can use to start or wind down your day. No fluff—just real talk, personal stories, and practical tools to help you show up as your best, most grounded self for your clients, the pets you care for, and most importantly, yourself.
