Stories that Empower


Oct 8, 2018

After Carlyn's divorce, she experienced insomnia, anxiety and depression. Initially, her affair with "Ben & Jerry" (as in the ice cream) helped her deal with it. It was actually her strong and deep relationship with her pets that helped her cope, deal, recover and heal. Carlyn is one of the leading experts on animal human health connections. Her advice to those experiencing a loss: become mindful and express gratitude. Carlyn shares this wisdom to pet owners: let's adjust our mindset to we are the guardians of these animals, our companion animals are so much more than pets, they can be our best health and wellness allies, helping us be more mindful and improve/transform our lives.
