EBD255 Cultivating Connection, Strength and Empathy

In this episode, Kathy celebrates the connection between women and their dogs as a source of strength, vulnerability, and empathy.    This unique approach draws from the power within, taking the focus away from outdated approaches of power-over and dominance to one of collaboration and connection. By fostering a partnership with our dogs, we are showing them the respect they deserve, and contributing to a new age of leading with love and empathy.    Kathy shares her big "why," and her inspiration to help dog moms to experience a full and happy life that brings them closer to their dogs. She talks about the true meaning of power and why it doesn't mean what we've been conditioned to think it does.   If you're ready to be inspired, and proud to be a dog mom, this is the episode for you!   In this episode:   We are healing from generations of cultural and societal conditioning and working towards a more cooperative way of living with our dogs. By partnering with our dogs we can support them to be respected members of the family and the planet. Our sisterhood celebrates a connection with our dogs that is rooted in strength, vulnerability and empathy. Power has been historically defined in terms of strength and dominance, but now it is shifting toward our ability to achieve purpose and effect change through collaboration, connection, empathy, and love.
