In this episode of The Alternative Dog Moms Podcast, we sit down with dog trainer and educator Tori Mistick to explore the critical role of canine enrichment and engagement in raising emotionally balanced, fulfilled dogs.This conversation helps dog parents understand why unmet mental and emotional needs often show up as “behavior problems,” and how small, thoughtful changes to daily routines can dramatically improve a dog's quality of life.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction01:16 About Tori Mistick's 03:38 Limited podcast series about engagement06:37 Engagement in a multi-dog home09:24 Definition of enrichment10:26 Variety is important to dogs11:35 Food-based enrichment - treat trail mix14:11 Sound/music + engagement18:15 Enrichment + senior dogs20:41 Novel enrichment - The Bubble Machine26:34 Social engagement32:12 Understanding limits/boundaries35:05 It's not about trying them out / bonding+togetherness37:35 Enrichment is good for pet parents too39:40 Fetching a toy by name41:44 The importance of choice45:00 Dogs pay attention and learn from us all the time49:02 Hemangiosarcoma (another commonality)52:27 Wear Wag Repeat SocietyLINKS DISCUSSED:Dog Enrichment with Tori Mistick Podcast: https://wearwagrepeat.com/dog-enrichment-podcast/Tori's website: https://wearwagrepeat.com/Tori's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ToriMistickGet Tori's Dog Enrichment Activity Pack: https://wearwagrepeat.com/dog-enrichment-mental-activity-pack/Tori's Wear Wag Repeat Society for Petpreneurs: https://wearwagrepeat.com/society/Hemangiosarcoma Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1A3h25H92G/SOCIAL MEDIA:Kimberly: Raw Feeder Life, RawFeederLife.comErin Scott: Believe in Dog podcast, BelieveInDogPodcast.comRaw Feeder Life, Instagram.com/RawFeederLifeBelieve in Dog Podcast, Instagram.com/Erin_The_Dog_MomThanks for listening to our podcast.

Every human has core emotional needs. They are as essential as air and water. Yet so often, we convince ourselves they don't matter—that we'll be fine if they're not met, or that they don't even exist. The more we deny our emotional needs, the more disconnected and dissatisfied we feel. Ignoring them leaves us out of alignment with ourselves and unable to feel whole.In this episode, I explore what's lacking in the world of self-help, personal development, and even coaching: a genuine understanding of our emotional needs. This missing piece explains why so many people seeking growth and making real change in their lives still find themselves feeling a little bit empty inside. Today, you'll hear why identifying and tending to your emotional needs can make a profound difference in your journey, and the reason why we're so quick to ignore them in the first place.Learning to recognize and honor your emotional needs is essential for lasting transformation. At this level of self-knowing, my clients feel more confident, more trusting of themselves, and more grounded in their decisions. They lead their lives and businesses with clarity, and for coaches, it allows them to guide others through the same powerful process.Your emotional needs are not a weakness, but a gateway to self-knowing and true wholeness. When you pay attention and treat them as essential, you begin to fill the cracks in your foundation and build a life that feels full, grounded, and aligned with your purpose.What you'll learn:Why unmet emotional needs create feelings of emptiness and disconnectionHow mindset work can unintentionally cause us to minimize our emotional needsThe difference between self-responsibility and isolation when it comes to meeting your emotional needsWhy taking ownership of your emotional needs also means allowing connection and support from othersThe core emotional needs we have as humans and practical ways to begin understanding and tending to themYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireGet the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Traci Shepherd is our Red Temperament representative for this episode. What Are the Four Temperaments?For those who are new to the concept of the four temperaments, here is a helpful summary:Yellow (Sanguine): Speaks the language of people and fun – an extroverted, people-oriented personality.Red (Choleric): Speaks the language of power and control – an extroverted, task-oriented personality.Blue (Melancholic): Speaks the language of perfection and order – an introverted, task-oriented personality.Green (Phlegmatic): Speaks the language of calm and harmony – an introverted, people-oriented personality.Each temperament influences how we speak, listen, behave, and manage our finances.The Red Temperament: Driven and DecisiveReds are typically goal-oriented, confident, and solution-focused. They don't just talk about getting things done; they make it happen. In relationships, this drive often leads them to step in and take over when others hesitate. But that same strength can become a weakness if it turns into controlling behavior rather than collaborative leadership.The Red temperament often feels the need to fix things. This framework helps them see the strength behind that impulse and offers tools to balance their drive with empathy.Red Temperament and Money: It's All About the PlanReds tend to view money as a means to accomplish their goals. They prefer clarity, efficiency, and structure. But they may clash with other temperaments—for instance, a Yellow, who values fun, spontaneity, and experiences.Rather than labeling other spending styles as wrong, having this awareness can enable more honest conversations, especially in relational tensions within areas like finances. Strength with Compassion: Communication Tips for RedsReds bring immense value to financial decision-making. Their clarity of vision and drive for results help families and teams move forward. Reds are bullet-point, bottom-line thinkers, but that doesn't mean they've ignored the details. They're often 10 steps ahead.To foster healthier communication, Kathleen encourages Reds to:Pause before respondingAsk questions with curiosity (“What do you think?” or “How do you feel about this?”)Listen to understand, not just to replyThese simple shifts can transform conflict into connection.The Emotional Needs of a RedReds have core emotional needs that must be honored, especially in financial conversations:Loyalty—Knowing others have their back.Sense of Control—Either having control or trusting someone else is in control.Appreciation—Being valued for their strengths.Credit for Work—Recognition for their contributions.When these needs go unmet, Reds can respond with frustration or harshness. However, when those needs are met, they become dynamic and inspiring leaders.What to Remember if You or Someone You Love is a RedRemember that your wiring is a gift. But don't rush ahead. Bring others with you. It's not about controlling; it's about being prepared and feeling safe.And for those in a relationship with a Red? Remember, they're not trying to be harsh. They just want to know the plan.Want More?Reds are uniquely wired to be visionaries. When they lead with both confidence and compassion, transformation happens in conversations, relationships, and financial decisions.As we continue this series on temperaments and money, we'll explore how each personality type contributes to God-honoring stewardship. When every voice is heard, and every strength is valued, we grow not just in wisdom but in unity.Read Kathleen's full article on how the four temperaments shape our financial decisions in the latest edition of Faithful Steward.

BONUS: Nesrine Changuel shares how to create emotionally connected, delightful products! In this BONUS episode, we explore the concept of product delight with Nesrine Changuel. Nesrine shares insights from her extensive experience at companies like Skype, Spotify, Google Meet, and Chrome to help us understand how to create lovable tech experiences that drive user loyalty and differentiation. We explore the Delight Grid Framework she created, and discuss the importance of emotional connection in product design. We also touch on practical ways to incorporate delight into everyday product decisions. The Essence of Delight in Products "Creating emotional connection between users and products... What I'm usually vocal about is that it's not enough to solve functional needs if you want to create sustainable growth, and more particularly if you want to have your users love the product and create habits using your product." Nesrine explains that while most companies know how to solve functional problems, truly delightful products go beyond functionality to create emotional connections with users. This connection comes from anticipating user needs and surprising them on both functional and emotional levels. She emphasizes that delight emerges when users experience both joy and surprise simultaneously, which is key to exceeding expectations and building brand loyalty. Moving Beyond User Complaints "Most features that are built in products are coming from users' complaints... What I'm trying to be clear about is that if you want to build an emotional connection, it's about opening up a little bit more of your source of opportunities." Many teams focus primarily on addressing user complaints, which puts them in a reactive position. Nesrine encourages organizations to anticipate user needs by engaging with users in comfortable environments before problems arise. She suggests looking beyond direct feature requests and investigating how users feel while using the product, how they experience the journey, and what emotions arise during the experience. This proactive approach opens new opportunities for creating delightful experiences that users may not explicitly request. In this segment we refer to the KANO model for categorizing product features. Understanding Emotional Demotivators: The Zoom Fatigue Example "I tried to interview many users and realized that, of course, with the fact that we all moved into video conferencing, some demotivators started to surface like boredom, low interaction, overwhelm. There was a term that started to show up at the time - it's called zoom fatigue." Nesrine shares how her team at Google Meet tackled emotional demotivators by first deeply understanding them. By investigating "Zoom fatigue," they discovered through Stanford research that one major cause was the fatigue from constantly seeing yourself on screen. This insight led them to develop the "minimize self view" feature, allowing users to broadcast their video without seeing themselves. This example demonstrates how understanding emotional pain points can lead to features that create delight by addressing unspoken needs. The Delight Grid Framework "We want to delight the users, but because we don't know how, we end up only doing performers or hygiene features." Nesrine introduces her Delight Grid Framework, which helps product teams balance functional and emotional needs. The framework begins by identifying emotional motivators through empathetic user research. These motivators are then placed in a grid alongside functional needs to classify features as: Low Delight: Features that only solve functional needs Surface Delight: Features that only address emotional needs (like celebratory animations) Deep Delight: Features that solve both functional needs and emotional motivators She emphasizes that the most successful products prioritize deep delight features, which create lasting emotional connections while solving real problems. Detecting Opportunities Through User Journey Mapping "I use customer journey maps... One of the elements is feelings... If you do the exercise very well and put the feeling element into your journey map, you can draw a line showing peak moments and valley moments - these are pivotal moments for connecting with users at the emotional level." Nesrine advocates for using customer journey maps to identify emotional highs and lows throughout the user experience. By focusing on these "pivotal moments," teams can find opportunities to amplify positive emotions or transform negative ones into delightful experiences. She encourages teams to celebrate positive emotional peaks with users and find ways to turn valleys into more positive experiences. Real-World Example: Restaurant QR Code Payment "The waiter came with a note, and on the note, there is a QR code... What a relief that experience was! I've been very, very surprised, and they turned that moment of frustration and fear into something super fun." Nesrine shares a delightful dining experience where a restaurant transformed the typically frustrating moment of splitting the bill by providing a QR code that led to an app where diners could easily select what they ordered and pay individually. This example illustrates how identifying emotional pain points (bill-splitting anxiety) and addressing them can turn a negative experience into a memorable, delightful one that creates loyal customers. Creating a Culture of Delight Across Teams "It's very important to have the same language. If the marketing team believes in emotional connection, and the designer believes in emotional connection, and then suddenly engineers and PMs don't even know what you're talking about, that creates a gap." For delight to become central to product development, Nesrine emphasizes the importance of creating a shared language and understanding across all teams. This shared vision ensures everyone from designers to engineers is aligned on the goal of creating emotionally connected experiences, allowing for better collaboration and more cohesive product development.

As parents—especially when raising neurodivergent, gifted, or twice-exceptional learners—we are on the frontlines of navigating intense emotions every day. In the latest episode of the podcast, we dive deep into practical strategies for supporting kids' emotional health and building regulation skills that last a lifetime. Key Takeaways: Connection Over Correction: Before jumping into discipline, prioritize building strong, trust-based connections with your kids. A safe and validating environment empowers children to openly share feelings and seek help when things get tough. Normalize Emotions—For Kids and Adults: Regularly talk about emotions in your home, openly share your feelings (the ups and the downs!), and model healthy regulation techniques like deep breathing or taking breaks. Kids learn through what we do, not just what we say. Use Tools and Creative Outlets: Create “calm down” spaces, use feelings charts or check-ins, and encourage creative activities—like doodling or building with Legos—as healthy ways for kids to process and express big feelings. Progress in emotional regulation isn't linear—it's all about small wins and ongoing growth for both our kids and ourselves. If you're supporting kids who feel big, intense emotions, know that you aren't alone, and the work you're doing is foundational for lifelong success. Need more resources and encouragement? There are so many tools, from printable feeling charts to recommended books and calming activities, available online. Check out booklists for emotional intensity, anxiety, and anger in kids; explore the “zones of regulation”; and, most importantly, find a likeminded community for support. Your family isn't alone, and together, we can raise lifelong learners—and emotionally healthy humans—one regulated breath at a time.

It is said that death and taxes are inevitable but so is running into relationship sticking points. Sooner or later, every intimate relationship faces several challenging issues, and if the relationship is going to last, they must be handled successfully.   In the fourth episode of this 5-part series, the focus is on how to navigate the different emotional needs that often exist between partners. Though men and women are equal in value, they are very different, especially when it comes to their respective emotional needs. The difference in needs is the result of different personality types, attachment styles, and of course, masculine/feminine dynamics, and each of these issues is addressed in detail. Finally, the current perspective that relationships are “transactional” is discussed, and frankly, shredded.   If you want to be in a relationship that can go the distance, then don't miss this episode.   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 3 Books: ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.

Send us a textAbout the GuestCait Donovan is a burnout recovery expert, acupuncturist, speaker, and host of Fried the Burnout Podcast. With a background in Chinese medicine and a deep understanding of resilience, Cait helps high performers recognize, recover from, and prevent burnout by cultivating self-awareness, setting boundaries, and redefining success.About the Episode:In this episode, host Steve Mellor sits down with Cait Donovan to explore the concept of bounce back ability—a broader and more sustainable approach to resilience. Cait shares insights on burnout recovery, the importance of interoception (internal self-awareness), and how high performers can create a more sustainable path to success. She also explains why asking for help is the key to true resilience and why burnout prevention isn't always realistic.Key Takeaways:✅ Resilience alone isn't enough. True growth-ready individuals cultivate bounce back ability, which includes resilience, self-trust, surrender, grit, and agility.✅ Many high performers miss early signs of burnout due to low interoception (body awareness). The focus should be on recovery, not just prevention.✅ Foundational self-care (listening to your body's signals) is crucial. Simple habits like “pee when you need to pee” are game-changers.✅ Resentment highlights where your boundaries are being crossed and where you're neglecting yourself. Recognizing it can help you reclaim energy and focus.✅ True resilience isn't about pushing through alone; it's about increasing your resources through asking for help and building a strong support system.✅ Success isn't just about productivity; it's about maintaining energy, presence, and balance in all areas of life.Links and Resources

Failing to recognize your spouse's emotional needs is often the source of marital pain. Solomon recognized the Shulamite's beauty and told her that she was the most special woman to him. Every woman longs to feel beautiful and special. It's the most important emotional need that she looks to her husband to fulfill. A woman will fall in love and stay in love with a man who makes her feel beautiful. She longs to feel beautiful, special, cherished, and treasured. The Shulamite told Solomon he was strong and powerful. Every man longs to feel significant and receive their wife's admiration. God created men with strength and for strength. A man will fall in love and stay in love with a woman who makes him feel strong. The way to keep love alive in a marriage is to make emotional deposits in each other's lives. How a husband can meet his wife's emotional needs: 1.) Love her unconditionally. 2.) Compliment her openly. 3.) Cover her affectionately. 4.) Create special memories. How a wife can meet her husband's emotional needs: 1.) Respect him unconditionally. 2.) Encourage his conquering energy. 3.) Affirm his strengths verbally. 4.) Respond to him sexually. Men, we are the thermostats of our marriages, our wives are the thermometers!

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever wondered why your teen seems to reach for snacks—even when they’re not hungry? In this second part of our series, Leanne is back with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens to dig into the hidden emotional triggers that push teens toward food for a quick dopamine hit. They look at how stress, loneliness, boredom, and anxiety can morph into cravings that have little to do with actual hunger—and how you, as a parent, can offer them alternatives that truly soothe the root cause. Natalie and Leanne share brain-based strategies to help teens recognize what they’re really feeling, break the pattern of food-as-comfort, and practice healthier outlets for life’s daily challenges. From teaching emotional awareness to rewiring old coping habits, it’s not about willpower or “just say no.” It’s about giving teens the practical tools they need to handle stress without turning to the pantry.
