#132 - Purposeful Chaos in Your Breeding Program
<p>I recently saw a license plate that read "ShipWrk" next to a sticker saying, "I run a tight shipwreck," and it really hit a nerve about how often we breeders wear our chaos as a badge of honor. In this episode, I'm diving into why chaos should be a temporary season for growth, not a permanent identity that keeps you stuck. I share my own recent "chaotic" month of travel and litters, and explain why I believe the best breeders aren't the ones who avoid the mess, but the ones who know how to turn it back into order. If you're currently feeling underwater, join me to learn how to stop just "surviving the wreck" and start building a program that actually supports your life.</p>
