I started this podcast in 2017 — not to shout into the void, but to start the kinds of conversations I wished existed. The ones that name the real reasons women feel off, even when they “do everything right.”
As a Projector, I lead with pattern recognition. As a Human Design + functional nutrition practitioner, I give language to what your body’s already been whispering.
This show is about unlearning the noise — and rebuilding self-trust, one episode at a time.

Episode 126: How Canine Companionship Can Have A Pawsitive Influence On Your Health & Wellness with Samantha Vaccaro
At the time of recording, I’m on Day 43 of sheltering-in-place solo, and I think by now we can all attest to how important social connections are to our health and wellness. For some of us, its even more important than a healthy diet, exercising or even sleep!
The only thing keeping me company is my puppy girl, Coco Pop! I am so grateful to have her with me because this experience would have been so lonely without her and I know many of you feel the same way about your pets as well.
Joining me today is Samantha Vaccaro. She’s a public health professional but she’s also known as Poppy the Doodle’s mom. We’re both crazy dog mom’s who have Instagram accounts for our doodles, Coco Pop and Poppy, and that’s how we connected.
In this episode you’ll hear us chat about:
How we’re each sheltering in place solo and how our puppy girls are helping us through it
How having a canine companion can teach us, humans, how to have structure, routines, and boundaries, which are pretty vital to our health
How our pups help us maintain social connections, especially as adults when its so harder to meet people and make new friendships
