In this episode of Groomer Tales, I chat with Natascha Herdman, founder of PAWsparity, a nonprofit dog grooming school in Kansas City. Natascha transformed a simple phone call into a national movement, training individuals facing homelessness, addiction recovery, or incarceration to become professional groomers. We explore the challenges and triumphs of her mission, including the emotional stories that drive her work and her fight against government classifications that undervalue groomers' wages. Whether you're involved in the grooming industry or passionate about second chances, Natascha's inspiring journey showcases how PAWsparity is not just changing the lives of pets but also transforming people. Join us for this compelling conversation that highlights the power of compassion and community.
