Episode Details

Building your life around your dog can feel completely right and still leave room for the question you don’t always want to ask: Did I make the right call?

Big decisions rarely come with proof that everything is going to work out. When your work, finances, routines, and future have all been shaped by the dog beside you, even seeing those choices pay off doesn’t always make the uncertainty disappear.

You'll hear:

• Why loving the life you built doesn’t automatically stop you from questioning the decisions that got you there
• What happened when the parts of my life I was most afraid to rely on became the things that carried me through
• Why uncertainty doesn’t necessarily mean you chose wrong, even when there’s no guarantee about what happens next

Press play if your dog has changed the direction of your life and you still sometimes wonder if you got it right.
