Description

In this episode, Kathy celebrates the connection between women and their dogs as a source of strength, vulnerability, and empathy.    This unique approach draws from the power within, taking the focus away from outdated approaches of power-over and dominance to one of collaboration and connection. By fostering a partnership with our dogs, we are showing them the respect they deserve, and contributing to a new age of leading with love and empathy.    Kathy shares her big “why,” and her inspiration to help dog moms to experience a full and happy life that brings them closer to their dogs. She talks about the true meaning of power and why it doesn’t mean what we’ve been conditioned to think it does.   If you’re ready to be inspired, and proud to be a dog mom, this is the episode for you!   In this episode:   We are healing from generations of cultural and societal conditioning and working towards a more cooperative way of living with our dogs. By partnering with our dogs we can support them to be respected members of the family and the planet. Our sisterhood celebrates a connection with our dogs that is rooted in strength, vulnerability and empathy. Power has been historically defined in terms of strength and dominance, but now it is shifting toward our ability to achieve purpose and effect change through collaboration, connection, empathy, and love. Quotes:   “Our sisterhood celebrates a connection with our dogs that is rooted in strength, vulnerability and empathy.”   “We are healing from generations of cultural and societal conditioning of ‘power over’ and working towards a more cooperative way of living with our dogs.” “Becoming the badass, strong, soft, and wholehearted human that we are meant to be is inspired by our love for dogs.”   “Understanding the power of collaboration, connection, empathy, and love is the key to leading way to living in harmony with our dogs, and with each other.”

Welcome to our podcast where we dog moms discuss modern, enlightened dog parenting! Each week, we’ll take a dive deep into the human-dog connection and explore strategies that will inspire you to create connection and cooperation with your dog...no obedience training needed! We meet up at the intersection where training and behavior meet Heart and Soul...and where we leave behind the 'power over' obedience training paradigm we inherited and lead the way to an enlightened 'power with' approach. Join us for an inspirational and educational journey as we explore what living in cooperative partnership with our beautiful dogs looks like in real life. Brilliant Partners are kind, loving, calm, clear, confident, and cooperative ... and when WE learn how to be a Brilliant Partner, our dogs do too. Kathy Kawalec is an author, writer, the founder of Dancing Hearts Dog Academy and creator of the Brilliant Partners Academy, The Foundation Formula, Herding Partners Academy, and Creative Alchemy Passion Plan.
