You’re not just a dog owner—you’re a modern-day guardian.

And that comes with a different kind of responsibility… and a different kind of weight.

In this deeply honest episode, Adia explores what our dogs are really carrying—and how often, it’s not just theirs.

It’s ours too.

She dives into what decompression actually means, why behavior isn’t about obedience, and how the dogs in our homes are absorbing more than we realize. You’ll leave with grounded truth, emotional clarity, and practical shifts you can make today to lead your dog more intentionally.

Because when you regulate—you lead.

When you slow down—they can too.

And when you choose presence over performance, everything begins to change.
