This week’s episode is a special one! One of my best friends and fellow Perfectly Imperfect Pups board member, Nicole M., took the reins and interviewed me about, well, everything. From the highs and lows of running a rescue to my favorite type of movies, no topic was off-limits.

We laughed, we reflected, and we got real about what drives me—whether it’s my passion for saving dogs or finding joy in everyday moments. This candid conversation offers a peek behind the curtain of my life, giving you a deeper look at the person behind PIPs.

Tune in for a fun, heartfelt, and honest chat that might just surprise you!
