In this episode, Teresa Miller, president of IndiePet and owner of Treats Unleashed, discusses the vital role of local pet retailers in building community connections. She shares insights into the challenges these stores face, including e-commerce competition and inflation, while highlighting how they can remain competitive through innovation and customer service. Teresa explains how IndiePet acts as a bridge between retailers and manufacturers to create sustainable industry growth. She also touches on the growing trend of cat ownership and the importance of fostering partnerships between independent pet businesses. Main Topics: The Role of IndiePet – Supporting independent pet stores and their impact on the pet industry. Challenges in the Pet Industry – Inflation, e-commerce competition, and shifting consumer trends. Community Engagement – How local pet stores foster relationships and support pet parents. Retail Trends & Innovations – Exclusive products, pet product rotations, and service expansions. Partnerships with Pet Businesses – How pet sitters, trainers, and groomers can collaborate with retailers. Main takeaway: “Neighborhood pet stores are more than just retailers; they're gathering places where pet owners connect, learn, and support each other.” In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel disconnected, but independent pet stores, pet sitters, and dog walkers play a vital role in bringing pet lovers together. These businesses aren't just about products and services—they help foster relationships, educate pet parents, and create a support system for those who want the best for their pets. As pet sitters and dog walkers, we have a unique opportunity to be connectors in our communities. We're the trusted professionals who see pet parents daily, hear their concerns, and can introduce them to local pet stores, trainers, and groomers who align with their needs. We can help pet owners find the best products, discover community events, and connect with like-minded pet lovers who share their values. From breed meet-ups and pet adoption events to sharing tips on the best local pet-friendly spots, we have the power to shape a thriving pet community. By partnering with independent pet stores, we strengthen these essential small businesses and create a network that benefits pets and their families. About our guest: Teresa Miller is the owner of Treats Unleashed, a chain of independent pet stores with 19 locations between St. Louis and Kansas City, with more on the way. She began her career in the banking industry before transitioning to a tech startup in New York City. In 2002, she founded Treats Unleashed, which has grown organically into a trusted resource for high-quality pet products, customer education, and community partnerships. Beyond building her business, Teresa is deeply involved in her local community, volunteering with the Bi-State Pet Food Pantry to help provide pet food to owners in need. She is also a strong advocate for women-led businesses, actively supporting Mastermind programming for early-stage women entrepreneurs. On a national level, Teresa collaborates with the National Retail Federation (NRF) as an advocate for small retail businesses. Most recently, she worked with NRF to support the Credit Card Competition Act, introduced by Senators Roger Marshall and Dick Durbin in 2022, aimed at increasing competition and reducing swipe fees for businesses. As the president of IndiePet, a trade association dedicated to supporting independent pet retailers, she continues to champion small pet businesses, fostering connections between retailers and manufacturers to ensure industry growth and sustainability.

This was a fun episode for me for lots of different reasons. The first reason, I spent a lot of time over past episodes talking about cognitive-behavioral therapies, in essence, if you will, the more top-down approaches for the treatment of chronic pain as well as other health conditions. Being a physical therapist, I work with both the mind as well as the body. I want to turn some attention toward more of the embodied therapies, more of the bottom-up approaches, and how they can have a very positive influence and impact on someone's pain and their overall health. In this episode, we are going to discuss awareness through movement and how the Feldenkrais Method can be used as a tool for pain management. My guest for this episode is Professor Teresa Miller. She is the Founding DPT Program Director at St. John's University, a graduate of the American Physical Therapy Association Educational Leadership Fellowship, and a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. She is an Associate Professor Emeritus from State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, where she taught physical therapy for years. Dr. Miller received her PhD in Physical Therapy from Temple University, her MS in School Psychology, a BS in Physical Therapy, and AIS in Physical Therapy Assisting. In this episode, we discuss what is the Feldenkrais Method, how it is developed, what are the guiding concepts of a Feldenkrais lesson, how Feldenkrais can help those managing chronic pain and how to find a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. A little FYI before we begin this episode, Dr. Miller was one of my professors of Physical Therapy at the State University of New York Health Science Center, Brooklyn way back from 1995 to 1997. I consider her a colleague, a mentor, as well as a friend. It was lots of fun for me to do this episode with her. It takes you back in time a little bit too when I was a student and reviewing some of the work that she did, which is groundbreaking. Feldenkrais was not so popular in 1995 when I went to PT school. She was one of the first people to introduce me to more of the mind-body as well as embodied approaches to treating pain. I want to thank her for her time and for joining us for this episode. I know you are getting a lot out of it. I especially want to thank her for her leadership and bring some of these mind-body approaches into my personal practice as a PT but also into the profession and providing evidence for it. Without further ado, let's begin and meet my good friend, Teresa Miller. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://integrativepainsciencinstitute.com/
