Listen Later

What if burnout isn’t failure—but your first clue that something better is calling?
In this soulful episode of The Dog Who Asked for More, Em sits down with Jess, founder of Pupsibilities, who left behind a “dream job” in chiropractic care to build a business that supports rescue dogs—and her own healing. This is a story about listening deeply, choosing differently, and finding a new kind of success.


In this episode:

  • Why burnout might mean you’re meant for more

  • How rescue dog advocacy helped shape a new mission

  • What it really takes to start over with purpose


If you’re dreaming of a more meaningful path—especially one with dogs—this episode will show you what’s possible when you finally say yes.
