After Hours: July 24
After Hours Episode #108: In this episode of After Hours, it’s just me, Shannon Wynings, talking about how our mindset and energy affect every dog we work with. I share my thoughts on staying present at the grooming table, giving each appointment a clean slate, and handling challenging moments without carrying stress from one groom to the next. I also talk about upcoming grooming shows, a few personal lessons I’ve learned lately, and simple ways to bring more calm and consistency into both work and everyday life. It’s an honest conversation about the things that often happen behind the scenes but have a big impact on the dogs, our clients, and ourselves.
