| 5/4/26 |  Wellness 3.0: Why You're Not Broken & Neither Is Your Dog with Nicole Barton | If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much,” too sensitive, or quietly carrying parts of yourself that long to be expressed - this conversation may feel like a remembering.What if healing isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you - but remembering what has always been true?In this deeply soulful conversation, I’m joined by Nicole Barton - healer, archetypal guide, and founder of the Archetypal Apothecary - to explore the concept of Wellness 3.0 and what becomes possible when we stop seeing ourselves as broken.Together, we journey into the world of archetypes, sensitivity, homeopathy, shadow work, and the symbolic power of the witch - not as a label, but as an invitation to reclaim the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to hide.Nicole shares her own path through chronic fatigue, burnout, and healing, and how those experiences became a doorway into understanding that our wounds often hold the medicine we are here to offer.This conversation explores what it means to come back into the body, to create safety within ourselves, and to reconnect with our own wildness - especially in a world that often teaches us to suppress it.And because this is Mystic Dog Mama, we also explore the mirror our dogs provide: how they reflect the parts of ourselves that feel too sensitive, too emotional, too much - and how healing ourselves can deepen the way we relate to them.In this episode, we explore:What Wellness 3.0 really means - and why healing isn’t about being fixedHow sensitivity can become a gift rather than something to overcomeThe archetype of the witch as a symbol of healing, intuition, and reclamationNicole’s personal journey through chronic fatigue, homeopathy, and archetypal healingThe connection between wounds, shadow work, and discovering your giftsHow our dogs often mirror the parts of us we’ve learned to suppressWhat it means to reclaim your own inner medicineConnect with Nicole BartonWebsite: www.nicolebarton.co.ukSecret Witch Show Podcast - www.secretwitch.co.uk Instagram: https:instagram.com/iamnicolebartonConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, First Light.

| 2/14/26 | Building Resilience for You & Your Dog, with Dr Kate Lund | Our dogs have a way of ushering us into the exact lessons we need.In this episode, I’m joined by psychologist and resilience specialist Dr Kate Lund to talk about what happens when the life we imagined falls apart — and how we build something meaningful on the other side.Dr Kate shares the story of her childhood diagnosis of hydrocephalus, the many hospitalisations that followed, and how her dog Peanut helped her cultivate courage, hope, and orientation toward possibility. Those early experiences inspired her life’s work supporting paediatric patients and families navigating illness, trauma, and profound change.We discuss why resilience is not toughness, positivity, or spiritual bypassing. It’s the set of skills, supports, and perspectives that help us optimise within the reality we are living.You’ll hear:✨ What resilience actually means in real life✨ Why we must move through difficulty, not around it✨ How strengthening our own resilience changes the way we show up for our dogs✨ The surprising ways dogs demonstrate resilience every day✨ How Dr Kate supported her own children through the terror of a lost puppy✨ How that experience led her to partner with her therapy dog Wally serving families at a children’s hospital in Seattle✨ Practical ways to build confidence and agency in kids and dogs✨ What it means to “find a new normal”✨ Why dogs so often arrive exactly when we need them mostI also share how Lucky has continually invited me to become more resilient — especially in the moments I doubted myself most — and how recognising his resilience changed our relationship.If you’ve ever wondered how to stay open-hearted while the ground beneath you shifts… this conversation is for you!.Connect with Dr Kate Lund: https://www.katelundspeaks.com/Connect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.comCome join my free Facebook group, FETCH First Light.

| 2/7/26 | The Medicine of Cats: A Conversation on Healing, Agency & Our Animal Guides, with Pam Roussell of Purrrfectly Holistic | What if our cats aren’t here to be “managed” — but to initiate us?In this episode of Mystic Dog Mama, I’m joined by Pam Roussell of Purrrfectly Holistic - holistic pet health practitioner and devoted Cat Mom, for a conversation that invites us to slow down, listen more deeply, and rethink what health really means - for our animals and for ourselves.Pam shares her journey from the fitness industry into holistic pet health, shaped by her own healing and profoundly catalysed by the loss of her beloved cat, Snow Bear. His passing became a threshold moment — one that called Pam into a deeper relationship with intuition, energetics, and the wisdom of the body.Together, we explore the medicine of cats - why it’s time to bring cats fully into holistic health conversations, and what they can teach us about curiosity, mysticism, and conscious care. We talk about the importance of getting to root causes rather than treating symptoms, the unique stressors many cats face (especially indoor cats), and how emotional, energetic, spiritual, and physical health are inseparable.This is also a conversation about agency - becoming your pet’s health advocate, trusting your intuition, and how learning to advocate for your animals inevitably helps you step into deeper advocacy for yourself.We touch on the shadow side of the holistic health world, the danger of “doing everything right,” and why asking why matters more than ever. Pam also reflects on the spiritual significance of ailments, the different roles cats and dogs play in our spiritual development, and what the astrological shifts of 2026 and beyond are calling forward in how we think about health, healing, and support.Pam also shares gentle, practical insights for supporting your feline companions, along with her own daily practices with her cats - grounding this expansive conversation in everyday devotion.If your cat feels like a teacher, a mirror, or a guide in your life, this episode is an invitation to listen.Learn more about Pam’s work: https://purrrfectlyholistic.comConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.comCome join my free Facebook group, FETCH First Light.

| 1/31/26 | What We Do with What We'd Rather Not See: An Experiment with Dog Waste with Cllr Gill Thomas | Dog waste is one of those everyday realities most of us would prefer not to think about. We bag it, bin it, and move on. But what if the way we currently deal with dog poo is part of a bigger environmental and cultural problem? And what if it could be approached differently?In this episode, I’m joined by Cllr Gill Thomas, a local councillor in Stroud and for litter and clean environment who is exploring an early-stage, experimental initiative to rethink how dog waste is handled - including the possibility of composting it safely and responsibly.Gill brings a background in the creative arts into her work in local politics, and that perspective shapes how she approaches complex, often uncomfortable issues. Rather than defaulting to enforcement or blame, she’s asking questions about responsibility, systems, and what becomes possible when curiosity leads the way.In our conversation, we explore:Why dog waste is more than just a nuisance - and its real impact on the environmentHow creative problem-solving can open new pathways in governanceWhat it means to take initiative without having all the answersThe early conversations Gill is having with scientists and researchersWhy pilot projects matter, and how local experiments can inspire wider changeThis isn’t a polished solution or a finished programme. It’s a live inquiry into how we care for shared spaces, how we relate to waste, and what regeneration can look like at a very local, very human scale.If you’re interested in conscious dog guardianship, environmental responsibility, and how meaningful change often starts with the things we’d rather not see - then this episode is for you.To connect with Cllr Gill Thomas:facebook.com/cllrgillthomasEmail: cllr.gill.thomas@stroud.gov.ukConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.comCome join my free Facebook group, FETCH First Light.

| 1/24/26 | Supporting Dogs Who Struggle with Handling: Consent-Based Bodywork Approaches with Lucy Tyrrell | Some dogs find being handled difficult.And for guardians who are trying to support them, that reality can feel confusing, limiting, and quietly heartbreaking.In this episode, I am joined by Lucy Tyrrell, a Galen Myotherapist and founder of Pawsitive Touch, for an honest, grounded conversation about consent-based bodywork for dogs — particularly dogs who are touch-averse, reactive, sensitive, or carrying trauma in their bodies.Together, they explore what it means to truly listen to a dog’s nervous system, how to move away from the idea that care requires compliance, and how guardians can support their dogs without pushing past their boundaries.As a mama of a dog who finds handling challenging, I know this episode will help other dog mamas who share the frustration of wanting to build a supportive care team, and feeling that some complementary therapies may not be accessible or appropriate for our dogs right now. Fortunately, as Lucy talks about positive and practical ways forward.This episode is for you if:Your dog struggles with being handled by othersYou’ve felt unsure or conflicted about hands-on therapiesYou want to support your dog’s body in a way that feels safe and respectfulYou’re curious about consent-based approaches to careYou want to learn how to do less forcing and more listening✨ Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where Lucy shares details about a special online workshop designed to help guardians learn powerful, practical, consent-based massage techniques they can use themselves to support their dogs at home.This conversation offers a different way forward — one rooted in trust, agency, and meeting the dog in front of you.To connect with Lucy and learn more about her upcoming workshop on Sunday, 8th February at 12pm UK time, email her at: lucy@caninetherapy.co.ukTo find a Galen Myotherapy practitioner near you:https://www.galenmyotherapy.com/teamFor more information on the Galen Myotherapy Distance Support Programme: https://www.galenmyotherapy.com/dspConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.comCome join my free Facebook group, FETCH First Light.

| 1/17/26 | The Healing Power of Presence: Why Slowing Down & Gentle Touch Matter More Than We Think, with Anja Žekelj | In this rich and soulful conversation, I’m joined by Anja Žekelj, founder of Wigglebeat, to explore what it really means to heal our dogs, and ourselves, when we move beyond fixing, forcing, or striving for perfection.Anja shares her journey of working with dogs and the evolution of her Herbal Ball Therapy, a gentle, deeply intuitive modality that supports the nervous system, circulation, and emotional well-being of dogs - especially those who are sensitive, aging, or navigating recovery.But this conversation goes far beyond any single therapy.Together, we talk about:What it looks like to follow intuition and inner guidance when caring for our dogs, and how to tell the difference between fear and true knowingThe challenges and shadows of the holistic dog world, including pressure, comparison, and the subtle belief that we should be able to “do it all right”Why healing is not the same as fixing, and how acceptance can be one of the most loving and confronting acts of careThe emotional complexity of supporting a dog through change, decline, or uncertaintyAnja’s deeply personal experience of caring for her senior dog after a stroke, and what that journey has taught her about presence, grief, trust, and letting goIf you’ve ever felt caught between your heart, your intuition, and the overwhelming noise of “shoulds” in the holistic space, then this episode is for you.To connect with Anja and learn more about her work, including her upcoming Herbal Ball Therapy workshop, visit her website:https://wigglebeat.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/wigglebeatConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, FETCH First Light.

| 12/13/25 | Breaking the Anti-Bacterial Spell: A New Way to Tend Our Homes & Our Dogs with Joe Flanagan | This episode is an invitation to rethink what “clean,” “healthy,” and “balanced” actually mean - for our dogs, our homes, and the wider living systems we’re part of.I sit down with Joe Flanagan, founder of Ingenious Probiotics, whose journey into the world of beneficial bacteria began in the most unexpected place: temperature control and air quality. What unfolded from there is a story that reaches far beyond products or protocols. It’s about remembering a way of living that honours life instead of fighting it.Together we explore the anti-bacterial paradigm so many of us were raised inside, and what really happens when we wipe life away… and the ways Mother Nature inevitably fills the vacuum we create.We touch on:🌿 Why bacteria aren’t the enemy, and how they actually support balance on every level🐾 Dogs as our early warning system (the “canaries in the coal mine” of our modern environment)🏡 Viewing the home as a living ecosystem, not a battlefield🧴 The quiet harm of chemical cleaning products and the pressure to sterilise everything💧 How probiotic cleaning supports harmony, not domination✨ Why animal lovers are often the ones leading the ecological shift🌍 Wholeness as a practice 💗 Making choices from love rather than fear, for ourselves and our dogsWhat Joe shares isn’t about buying another thing. It’s about a deeper remembering:*that nature is not something to overpower,*that our homes are living systems,*and that our dogs are guiding us toward a more life-affirming way of being.If you’re longing for a gentler, wiser, more connected approach to health - for yourself, your home, and your dog - this episode is for you!Connect with Joe Flanagan:https://ingenious-probiotics.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/ingeniousprobioticsConnect with me:https://mysticdogmama.comhttps://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join FETCH First Light - my sanctuary where soulful dog mamas like you find clarity, confidence, and connection https://facebook.com/groups/fetchfirstlightDisclaimer: The information provided is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease, or replace medical guidance.

| 12/5/25 | F.E.T.C.H. First Friday: A Winter Reflection for You and Your Dog | In this final FETCH First Friday of the year, I’m coming to you solo with a gentle winter reflection for you and your dog. There are some exciting developments unfolding behind the scenes, and even though I’m here alone this month, I’ll be sharing more with you soon.Inside this episode:• Winter as a Sacred PauseWhy the darker months call us to slow down, rest, and tend to our inner roots, and how our dogs naturally model this seasonal wisdom.• The Water Element + Kidney Support (TCM) Simple ways to nourish the water element in both you and your dog, including warming foods, broths, lifestyle shifts, and energetic themes of the season.• A Season of ReleaseAs we move from a 9 year into a 1 year (and toward the Year of the Horse in February), this is a natural time to acknowledge what we’ve shed, and what we’re still ready to let go of with gratitude.• Not “New Year, New You”Why I follow the seasonal wheel instead of rushing into resolutions, and how January can become a month of deep rest, clarity, and seed-planting.This episode is an invitation to enter winter with softness, presence, and trust — in yourself, your dog, and the slow magic working beneath the surface.Connect with me!Instagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaWebsite: https://mysticdogmama.comDisclaimer: The information provided is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease, or replace medical guidance.

| 11/29/25 | Beyond the Power Animal: Rethinking Soul Dogs, Spirit Guides & the Medicine of Every Being with Deb Matlock | In this second conversation in a series with Deb Matlock - a spiritual ecologist and guide in embodied, Earth-rooted spirituality, and the founder of Wild Rhythms - we move beyond the idea of having one power animal or soul dog and into a more expansive, reciprocal relationship with the wild world. We explore how connection is our birthright, why your dog is walking beside you on your unique spiritual path, and how every being in your life carries its own medicine. Together, we dive into intuition, ceremony, meaning-making, and practical ways to open the door to the more-than-human world — without cultural appropriation and without getting lost in rules. If you’ve ever wondered how to deepen your spiritual relationship with your dog, the land, or the beings you meet along the way, this is your permission slip.Topics We Explore:What “empowered spirituality” really meansWhy our dogs walk with us on our personal spiritual pathsRethinking power animals, spirit animals, and soul dogsHow to honour your own ancestry and lived experienceWhy seeking just one special guide can limit your spiritual growthHow to validate your own intuitive experiences and simple, practical tools to check in with your intuitionMentioned in this episode: Emily Esfahani Smith, The Power of MeaningConnect with Deb MatlockWebsite: https://wild-rhythms.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/wildrhythmsConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.comCome join my free Facebook Facebook group, my sanctuary where soulful dog mamas like you find clarity, confidence, and connection https://facebook.com/groups/fetchfirstlight | — | ||||||
| 11/22/25 | Re-Membering Kinship: Wild Rhythms, Dogs & the More-Than-Human with Deb Matlock | In this episode, Deb Matlock, a professional nature-based spiritual life coach and a nature connection practitioner and educator for more than 25 years, and I explore what it means to live in deeper relationship with the more-than-human world. We talk about wild rhythms, junction points, and the moment we’re living in - a moment when old systems are falling away and new forms of kinship are calling us forward.Deb shares how her childhood bond with her dog Jenny, and a lifetime of connection with animals and the outdoors, led her into environmental education, life coaching, and nature-based work. Together, we look at kinship as re-membering - bringing the members back into a world shaped by extractive models - and what shifts when we understand “community” as all beings, not just humans.We explore communication with other species, reimagining ceremony, and creating the kind of inner spaciousness where wisdom can land. We sit with the hard, beautiful questions too: What does it mean to be human among so many beings? Why are our particular dogs with us? How do we bring our wild soul forward and be of service to the highest good each day?We also touch on how AI might offer new perspectives on interdependence - and how empathy, when allowed to lead, changes everything.This episode is an invitation to remember that there is no real disconnection, only the perception of it - and that every relationship, especially the one with our dogs, can guide us back into the wild web we’re already part of.Connect with Deb MatlockWebsite: https://wild-rhythms.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/wildrhythmsConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.comCome join my free Facebook Facebook group, my sanctuary where soulful dog mamas like you find clarity, confidence, and connection https://facebook.com/groups/fetchfirstlight | — | ||||||
| 11/15/25 | Samhain, Story & the Spiritual Dog: Reconnecting with the Magic of Irish Mythology with Jen Murphy | What if the stories of our ancestors are still shaping us - and still shaping the dogs who walk beside us?In this Samhain-timed episode of Mystic Dog Mama, I sit down with Irish mythologist and anthropologist Jen Murphy, founder of The Celtic Creatives. Rooted in her grandmother’s storytelling and decades of study in Celtic mythology, anthropology, and Jungian psychology, Jen helps people remember their shining soul by bringing ancient wisdom into modern life.Together, we explore:🌑 What it means to be a modern mystic🔥 How Irish myth and folklore reconnect us to our roots🍂 Samhain and the Celtic Wheel of the Year - and why this season matters✨ Simple, meaningful ways to honour the seasons in everyday life🐾 The mythic role of the hound and how dogs guide us spiritually🌙 Dreamwork, archetypes, and living with a story that supports your soul💚 Re-centring the sacred in the ordinaryThis conversation is rich, warm, and rooted in belonging - a perfect listen as the veil thins and we turn inward with our dogs curled at our feet. 🐕✨Jen Murphy is an Irish mythologist, anthropologist and founder of The Celtic Creatives. A Dubliner born and bred, from the time she could talk, Jen's grandmother Frances O'Sullivan filled her ears with tales from Irish myth and folklore, fuelling a now 40-year fascination with the stories of her lineage. Jen's apprenticeship to following her soul's breadcrumbs has guided her formal studies in Medieval Irish and Celtic Studies, Anthropology, and Jungian Psychology. Jen supports people to remember that they have a shining soul, to dream Celtic spirituality into their modern lives by making the Celtic soul a living aesthetic—centring the soul in the everyday experience of life—through mythwork, dreamwork, and the body.Connect with Jen Murphy:Website → https://www.celticcreatives.com/Substack → https://celticcreatives.substack.com/Instagram → @celticembodimentConnect with me:Website → https://mysticdogmama.comEmail → alexia@mysticdogmama.comInstagram → https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join our F.E.T.C.H. in Action Live Cookalong happening Saturday, November 29th from 10am-1pm UK time!
