Ever feel guilty for working too much, missing walks, or not giving your pet enough attention? You’re not alone. Pet parenting struggles like guilt, burnout, and overwhelm are more common than most people admit. But what if guilt isn’t the real problem?
In this episode, I’m joined by Sheryl Green, speaker, author of You Had Me at No, and recovering people-pleaser who helps others set healthy boundaries without drowning in guilt. Together, we dig into why guilt shows up for real pet parenting, what it’s trying to tell you, and how to finally release it for good.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
• Why “vague expectations” make guilt feel endless—and how to define “enough” for yourself
• The difference between real guilt you can act on and the kind you can let go
• How to replace guilt with self-compassion while still being a responsible, loving pet parent
Your pet doesn’t need you to be perfect, just present.
