Celebrating the Life-Changing Connection Between Dogs and Their Humans with The Dog Mum
In this very first episode of The Dog Mum, Aneka shares her heartfelt journey of transformation through her beloved French Bulldog, Chubbs. She recounts a challenging period in her life marked by severe health issues, anxiety, and depression, during which Chubbs entered her world and became her source of motivation and healing. The episode explores the profound bond between dogs and their owners, highlighting how Chubbs inspired her to reclaim her life and ultimately led her to create the Cuddle Club, where therapy dogs bring joy and comfort to various settings.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The journey of healing and personal growth can be significantly influenced by the presence of a pet, as illustrated by the profound impact Chubbs had on the speaker's life during a challenging time.
Owning a dog can provide a sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to engage in activities and routines that promote their well-being, even when they feel unwell or overwhelmed.
Aneka transitioned from a career in the entertainment industry to working with therapy dogs, aiming to create positive experiences for others by sharing the joy and comfort that dogs can bring.
The podcast will explore the bond between dogs and their owners, highlighting how this relationship can enhance health and happiness, and foster a sense of community among dog lovers.
The focus of the podcast is to celebrate the unique bond between dogs and their humans, sharing tips, stories, and advice that emphasise how dogs contribute to making us better individuals.
BEST MOMENTS
"I honestly believe that Chubbs saved my life and want to dive into what exactly that means and how a dog can save a person's life."
"Even on the days when I literally had zero energy, I still had to get up for him."
"I wanted to turn my pain into purpose, something positive, and create a space where people could experience what I had with Chubbs."
"Every single time, I see the same thing. People light up, they laugh, they relax. They just feel better."
"This is about celebrating the bond we have with our dogs and how they honestly make us better humans."
