 October 1, 2024

Grief is a part of life for all of us, but–as too many pet professionals know all too well–there is a particularly deep strain of it that often runs through work with animals. That grief, and the toll it takes on on us–not just mentally and emotionally, but physically and even spiritually–is the reason so many of us become utterly burnt out.

Although she isn’t your typical pet professional, today’s guest has a deep and abiding love for animals and is intimately acquainted with both the joy and the grief that a life spent alongside them can bring. As a chaplain, grief worker, and strength coach, Dallas Rising spends her time helping others learn to process the emotional, spiritual, and physical ramifications of deep loss. Join us for a conversation about trauma, healing, finding the sacred, and experiencing joy.

Ready to reconnect with your inner wisdom?

If this conversation resonated with you, you're not alone in feeling caught between deep compassion for animals and your own exhaustion. I work with pet professionals who are ready to transform their relationship with themselves and their work—moving from burnout to sustainable success while rediscovering the joy that first drew them to this field.

Coaching

Whether you need clarity on something specific or want to explore deeper patterns, we can work together one-on-one. Many people start with a single 90-minute breakthrough session to experience how coaching can shift your perspective, then choose what feels right for their next steps.

Free Community Sessions

Every few months, I offer connection and learning opportunities where pet professionals can focus on their own needs, explore helpful concepts together, or simply connect with others who truly understand this work. These sessions are my gift to anyone in my email community.

Weekly Support

My Helping Yourself to Help Others notes offer gentle wisdom designed specifically for pet professionals—practical insights without overwhelm, because you deserve the same compassion you give to the animals in your care.
