In this episode, I talk about the benefits animals can have for someone suffering from stress or anxiety, and anyone on their healing journey. Animals, and more specifically dogs, have been a huge part of my healing journey. Over the last 6 years, my dogs have shown me what it means to give unconditional love and acceptance. They have been my friends, my motivators, my caretakers, and have given me so much perspective. 

I wanted to share my story to show how impactful and meaningful an animal's' presence can be in your life. Science itself says that animals are beneficial to not only your mental health but your physical health as well. Being around animals can decrease your blood pressure and stress levels almost instantly.
