Meet Hazel. 🐾
By day 2 I was quietly questioning everything. I’d rearranged my entire work week, reduced my availability for the first two weeks and honestly my nervous system felt it.
But here’s what I noticed. As I was outside more, playing and training her, I was building capacity. And so was she. As she settled into her new rhythm, so did I. Five days in and she’s toilet trained, sitting and dropping on command and finding her independence.
When your world changes and your business needs to shift with it, there is a big lesson in that.
Space is safe. Balance is a must. Recalibrating a new way is okay.
You don’t get to skip the recalibration period. You just have to stay consistent and trust that the settling is happening even when it doesn’t look like it yet.
Small dog. Big ripple. She came exactly when she was meant to… even if she does want to chew on my feathers 😂🐾
