Prepare to be floored by this week's guest.. Liz McInnes joins Marnie for a wild ride into her life, including growing up with a schizophrenic mom, navigating Crohn's disease, and trying to find her way without a dad. But have no fear, because Grandma was here. Liz discusses the challenges she faced by her family dynamics, the importance of self-care and boundaries, and the positive relationships that have entered her life (mainly dogs & Frazer of course). She also discusses the tough decision to amputate her dog's leg due to bone cancer last year.
We dive into how she started her own business, Bad Dog, the cutest pup store in Tofino, and the joys that came with working her way there. Liz shares her perspective on mental health, anxiety medication, and the importance of listening to your body. She also touches on the dog culture in Tofino & the intricacies that come with it.
This episode is one of resilience, and finding your place in the world. I find Liz's story incredibly relatable, and am so grateful to have gotten to know her so much better through Giddy Up!
