In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation with Angela Schneider, the remarkable woman behind Big White Dog Photography and One Last Network. Angela’s life, shaped by the companionship of her beloved dogs Shep and Bella, led her to establish businesses that empower women to find their unique place in the world, with their pets by their side. After experiencing personal loss, Angela embarked on a new mission - becoming a certified grief coach and pet loss grief companion, stepping up to fill a gap she noticed in the pet industry. We delve into a truly heartfelt discussion exploring how Angela has discovered profound meaning in her own experiences of loss. We discuss the power of storytelling in her work as a pet photographer and grief educator, and the healing potential of professional pet portraits. Angela generously shares personal, often vulnerable, stories that have shaped her life and career. For all petpreneurs out there, Angela shares valuable insights into the role of pet loss grief counseling in our industry. She shares why joining One Last Network and embracing grief training could revolutionize your service, giving you the tools to support your clients in their toughest times and ultimately, reach more people. This is a conversation that’s full of wisdom, passion, and a deep love for pets and their profound impact on our lives. I hope you enjoy it.
