We head over to Mexico for a chat with Dr Alexia Mellor. Alexia is the founder of Mystic dog Mama, she is a mum to rescue pup Lucky, a Reiki master, an aspiring canine nutrition professional, an animal communicator and is a firm believer that dogs are our healers. She is also the host of the Mystic Dog Mama podcast which is born out of the desire to create a beautiful community for dog moms to learn so much about our dogs. Today we're going to talk a little bit about the human + dog connection, how we can best nourish our dogs and ourselves and how to walk the spiritual path with your dog. Alexia believes our dogs are our mirrors, they choose us and are always showing us what we need to work on.

We head over to Colorado for this episode. Maggie is so kind to share with us her story of  being in a  toxic relationship from the age of 24. Having no idea what a toxic relationship looked and felt like, she wants to talk about this today because she wants anyone who is listening to this to know you are not alone, there is life after this kind of relationship and when you leave you can have the life you have always wanted and deserved.

Maggie had to loose everything that she had worked so hard for - to then reclaim who she was and who she is meant to be. I also share a bit of my insight and experience of what life looked like for me in a toxic relationship.
