Dear Newly Single Mom,

I know your world feels flipped right now.
Like everything familiar suddenly feels different.
The quiet at night is louder than ever.
The weight of every decision falls solely on you.
And you’re carrying so much that no one else sees.

This wasn’t the plan.
You didn’t picture doing this alone.
You didn’t ask to be both the comfort and the discipline, the provider and the protector, the soft place and the strength.

But here you are—still showing up.
Still loving deeply.
Still holding it together for your child when you’re quietly unraveling inside.

And maybe there are days you question if you’re enough.
If you’re doing it right.
If you’ll ever feel whole again.

But hear this:
You are already more than enough.
You are not broken—you are rebuilding.
And this season? As painful and lonely and exhausting as it is—it will not define you.
It will shape you.

You are creating a new kind of strength.
A new kind of peace.
A new kind of love between you and your child that will be built on resilience, honesty, and a bond that can’t be broken.

You may feel alone—but you’re not.
There is an entire army of mothers who have walked this road before you and are silently cheering you on.

Take your time.
Let yourself grieve.
And when you’re ready—rise.

Because this is not the end of your story.
It’s the beginning of your becoming.

Must read.

Dog trainers don’t possess any magic. What they do possess, if they’re good at their craft, is a highly developed set of skills. But remember, at one point they knew very little, and likely got into this line of work because they were struggling with their own dogs.

So what’s different between a skilled and knowledgeable dog trainer and a struggling owner? Yep, you guessed it, skills and knowledge.

These people that you now hire for help were once struggling much like yourself. What did they do? They developed within themselves—likely with the help of another dog trainer—what was necessary to be able to solve their problems, and now, with all that ability, they help others with theirs’.

But, and this is a big but, all they can do is help. They can share information, teach skills, coach, and root you on—but only you can put in the work to take what is being shared and make it something personal, integrated, and useful.

You don’t have to become a dog trainer, but you do have to become a skilled, and knowledgeable owner—to whatever extent needed to match your goals.

Otherwise you’ll have to settle for watching your dog “magically” excel with your trainer, and “mysteriously” deteriorate with you.

home/ private backyard OR public location that is pet friendly.🐾

For each client I require a consult before we are able to schedule a private lesson.
A consult consist of you/your family and I sitting down & talking, we will talk about the goals of training. While we are discussing goals, i will be accessing you, your family & your beloved pet- I do this to ensure I can help you & your family meet your training goals! After we finish the consult we can discuss private lessons.
For the 1st private lesson you will be given 10+ handouts all pertaining to the information & lessons I will give you. I will also give you a clicker to use for our ✨positive reinforcement ✨ training. For each private lesson after the first I will provide you with in-detail treatment plans and ample amount of education.
