Is it Selfish to Put Myself Before My Dog? with Karoline from Dog Mom Mentality

This week we had our first guest, Karoline from Dog Mom Mentality!! Karoline shares her journey of opening up about her mental health on social media, especially as it relates to being a dog owner. She provides tips on how you can prioritize your self care and mental health as a dog mom and how to set boundaries. We also talk about raising a dog with a partner and how to communicate more effectively together. We dive into how she turned Dog Mom Mentality into a business with a podcast, merch line and a new journal coming out, and go on a million other tangents in the process! Enjoy!
