In this crossover episode with the Paws and Reward Podcast Sarah and Marissa sat down to chat with writer, speaker, educator, and overall lovely human Emily Nagoski to talk about the cycles emotions take in our bodies and why it matters for our dogs and ourselves. Emily is the co-author (with her twin sister Amelia Nagoski) of the book Burnout: the Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, which should be on every dog trainer’s shelf.
