EP 61 Inside Animal Shelters & How We Can with Sherr from LA ANIMAL SERVICES

I'm excited to speak with a dear friend of mine who is the very reason BOLT is in my life. Sherr has worked and volunteered in the Shelters in LA for most of her life, and has dedicated her life to speak for those without a voice. Some takeaways from today's Episode 1. Adopt don't shop - you can find your desired breed in a shelter 2. A pet is not a toy you can return when bored, it's a part of the family 3. Chip your dog and have him/her wear a collar with your important information on it, name and number 4. If you lose your pet contact the local shelter, flyer your neighborhood and town, reach out on facebook post on Lost and Found groups, shelters and rescues in your area 5. Spay and neuter your pets 6. A shelter pet is in danger of euthanization, young or old 7. Shelters are overcrowded , understaffed and overworked, it's a stressful environment for the pets 8. Fireworks are horrifying for the pets and the 4th of July is the biggest intake day of the year - hundreds of pets get lost due to negligence by owner - keep your pet inside, play loud music and make sure all windows and doors are locked. 9. You see something, say something 10. You find an injured pet or stray call the local sherrif and animal control 11. Support shelters if you can by donating and/or volunteering 12. Be mindful & remember together we can make a difference Book me for a house party to support a local rescue http://www.pinkstarmusic.com Shop in my store for products I trust and use https://amzn.to/4y0mvsK

EP 60 Trusting the Divine Redirection

In today's solo Episode I share my experience, how to stop forcing and start trusting in divine timing. We often get frustrated when things don't go our way, and try to force it when in reality it's the universe telling us something. Do you ever had it happen where the thing you planned fell through and what ended up happening was so much bigger and better than expected and you were actually grateful for the delay, the obstacle in the way? Trust the process. A great reminder to live in the moment and while strategy and planning might work, so does trusting your gut when things feel off. If you're enjoying this, share it with a friend, leave a comment and review on apple podcast. Enjoy your week and let yourself be reminded that you are exactly where you need to be and follow the whisper, the bliss. To work with me feel free to contact me via http://www.pinkstarmusic.com

EP 59 How the One I saved saved me - The BOLT Story

I remember it like it was yesterday when I met the one who became my everything. It wasn't planned and I had no idea that he would have such an impact on my life. I wake up everyday with a big smile on my face because of this goofy yet handsome boy named BOLT. There's a reason dog spells god backwards, they are saviors, rescuers pure love and light. I hope it resonates with you and makes you hug your pet a little harder, maybe rescue another or spread awareness about saving and protecting those without a voice.

EP 58 How to bring light into the world without drowning in the darkness

In todays Episode I'm sharing my struggle with wanting to help more animals but not being able to save everyone and sharing my solution, mission and how you can be part of this! I realized recently that my entire Facebook feed had become posts about lost dogs, abandoned animals, abuse cases, rescue emergencies... and while I care deeply about animals, I was starting to feel every day immersed in heartbreak, anger and frustration. My mission is to support rescues in effort to get more strays off the streets and shelter dogs off death row. Instead of drowning in the darkness, I bring the joy, the entertainment and fun. I'm starting to book house parties. An intimate, unique, magical and transformational night of music, story telling, connection and creativity. At every event, during the show my dress will be transformed into a piece of art - which you will be part of - and we'll auction it off to support your or my favorite animal rescue group to help save lives. Share this with anyone who loves music, community & pets.
