We'd LOVE to hear from you!

Here we go again! Happy Groundhog Day week!

The same lessons, the same cycles, and the same reminder that nothing here is broken.

Groundhogs are the ultimate symbol of cycles, repetition, and the opportunity to do things differently.

As we step into a numerology 1 year, marking the beginning of a brand-new cycle, we’re revisiting one of our earliest conversations on Unruly By Nature: Episode 4, the last episode before the podcast officially became a podcast.

This discussion feels just as relevant now as it did the first time around.

In this episode, Kim, Rachel, and Sue explore a deceptively simple question:

What is truly meaningful about working with dogs and their people?

From there, the conversation spirals (in the best way) into curiosity, connection, essential oils, embodiment, and the familiar human habit of trying to fix what we don’t yet understand. Through stories about Angelica root, lemon, fennel, animal behavior, and everyday moments with dogs, the trio reflects on how meaning reveals itself when we stop pushing against life and start listening.

This episode is a reminder that:

• Not everything uncomfortable needs fixing
• What irritates us often carries intense wisdom
• Curiosity opens doors control never will
• Growth happens in cycles and not straight lines

So if you’ve ever felt like you’re reliving the same lesson (with your dog, your work, or yourself), this Groundhog Day (week) rerun is your sign:

You’re not stuck. You’re cycling toward deeper understanding.

Thanks for wandering the wild edges with us on Unruly By Nature.

We'd LOVE to hear from you!

In this episode of Unruly By Nature, Kim, Rachel, and Sue explore the subtle yet powerful ways words, nicknames, tone, and energy affect our dogs, our relationships, and ourselves.

Starting with the question of how dogs respond energetically to nicknames, the conversation expands into a deep exploration of empathy versus sympathy, nervous system regulation, embodiment, fear, and how meaning is created through experience.

Through personal stories involving dogs, dreams, illness, fireworks, and essential oils, the trio reflects on what happens when we stop trying to fix, override, or label experiences, and instead learn to listen, witness, and allow.

This episode invites listeners to become more aware of how intention, language, and presence shape emotional safety, healing, and connection for both humans and animals.

We'd LOVE to hear from you!

In this episode of Unruly By Nature, Kim, Rachel, and Sue reflect on the teachers, mentors, animals, and experiences that shaped the way they work with dogs, people, plants, and life itself.

From pioneers like Caroline Ingraham, Carolyn Myss, Sarah Fisher, and Cathy Skipper, to the animals who challenged conformity and demanded curiosity, this conversation explores what it truly means to learn, evolve, and step into your own way of doing things.

The trio discusses courage in the face of pushback, blending science with intuition, honoring those who came before us, and releasing the need to conform to rigid systems. Woven throughout are reflections on rebellion, experimentation, mentorship, naming animals, essential oils, and trusting what resonates.

This episode is an invitation to honor your influences, question authority with compassion, and give yourself permission to follow the path that feels true — even when it’s unruly.
