Ever feel like you’re doing a ton for your pets, but nothing is actually getting easier? 

If you’re stuck repeating the same corrections, overcomplicating your routines, or carrying a low-grade stress cloud all day, this quick fix is for you. In this January Pet Parent Power-Up, I’m sharing the one question I use to snap out of autopilot and stop pouring time and energy into the wrong things: “Is this the best place to put my time and energy right now?” It’s simple, but it helps you spot what’s not working, choose a better option, and start today, so you feel relief fast.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• How to spot “time leaks” in behavior battles, routines, and worry spirals
• The 3-step reset that keeps you from overthinking the fix
• How to get a quick win today, even if you’re short on time

Send me your Quick Fix question, email me, or leave a voicemail on the website, and I might use it in a future episode.
