When the world feels heavy — or your dog’s health or behavior challenges have you running on empty — how do you find your calm again?
This episode is your reminder that your dog doesn’t need you to be perfect; they need you to be present.
We’re rethinking self-care as something deeper than bubble baths and timeouts — it’s an energetic reset that helps both you and your dog feel more grounded and connected. In this episode, we’ll learn simple, free exercises to do right now — no equipment or experience needed.
Raechel Winters shares why self-care is essential for dog moms and walks us through a powerful yoga breathing technique you can do anywhere, anytime. (19:21)
Neurosomatic intelligence practitioner Sofia Ejaz explains the mind-body connection with two easy nervous system exercises (you’ll just need a cloth and a straw) (36:30).
Writer and breathwork guide Katya Lidsky opens up about her unexpected lessons from dogs and breathwork — and guides us through an exercise we can do alongside our dogs (1:14:25).
Whether it’s the chaos of the world or the stress of caring for your dog, this episode will leave you feeling more grounded, present and deeply connected — to yourself and your animals.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
