#165: Do your past mistakes haunt you? (Let’s stop fearing your past.)
I posted a reel the other week that got a big reaction. It said that what’s making us nervous is our fear of repeating the past. This hit home with a lot of folks so I thought I’d unpack it this week and give you some ways to turn those thoughts to the positive!

#163: When the energy goes off the rails. (Get back on track fast.)
The energy we bring when we compete or even pick up a leash is critical to our success. After all, our dogs are brilliant at picking up on our energy! Yet even with the best of intentions, “stuff” happens and we will find ourselves needing to get ourselves back in the right state quickly. This episode is pulled from the Q-Membership where we spent a month last summer getting our energy on point - Enjoy!

#162: Getting your motivation back. (Or not.)
We think we have to be motivated in order to pursue our goals, but that’s just not true. We need discipline when our motivation inevitably wanes. Motivation is emotional. Discipline is rational. Still, life is easier (and more fun) when our motivation shows up to the party.

#161: Two words: Of Course. (Plus, Moxie does her weaves!)
Thanks to a question submitted, I bring you the full report of how Moxie did her weaves in public and what that meant for me in terms of mindset. Then I give you a new phrase to incorporate into your visualizing and general goals prep. You might be surprised to learn why it works SO well!

#160: The power of simplifying. (Especially when your energy is in the tank.)
Let’s face it, we are not at 100% every single day - including trial days. For those days when you are just not feeling it, it’s okay to push through, but the best thing might be to simplify your goals and expectations. The same works if you (or your dog) is overwhelmed by an environment or otherwise can’t give it their all. Try it, you’ll like it!

Customer Reviews
Julie is fabulous!
Even if you don’t think that this podcast will help you, Julie gives it in bite-size pieces that you really can use. Plus, she has a easy voice to listen to, and a great way to present the information.
Mindset matters a lot!
This podcast considers what we tend to overlook, our mindset. If we are not in the right place mentally, that can affect what we worked so hard to achieve with our dogs. We are half the equation, and our dogs not only need our head in the right place to get us into the right events, but they need us to be strong mentally for them. They know when we’re off and that can make the team suffer.
Julie gives insightful, practical, and actionable advice on how to get our heads where they need to be for our team.
Exactly What I Needed
I discovered this podcast at just the right time. When I listen, it’s as if Julie is speaking right to me. She breaks things down in a very digestible, actionable manner. I walk away with ideas to implement from each episode. I love the humor Julie brings - a little levity to something that I can get a tad too serious about. Thank you Julie!
