• Episode 008: Behavior Isn’t the Problem, Expectations Are: Letting Dogs Be Unruly by Nature
    Dec 10 2025

    We'd LOVE to hear from you!

    In this powerful and hilariously honest episode of Unruly By Nature, Rachel, Sue, and Kim crack open one giant (and heated) topic: there is no such thing as a behavior problem — only a perception problem.

    Together they unravel the myths of “good dogs/bad dogs,” performance pressure, unrealistic expectations, and the belief that behavior is something to fix. The trio opens the conversation from a new perspective, exploring behavior as communication, how humans interpret and judge behavior through their own filters, and how slowing down changes everything.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    · Why dogs don’t actually know they’re “misbehaving”

    · The pressure to perform (for dogs AND humans)

    · How society decides what a “good dog” looks like — and why it’s flawed

    · Why recurring patterns are not regression, but feedback

    · The magic of finding your unique rhythm with your dog instead of copying others

    · Hilarious real-life stories involving reactive moments, gardens, wasps, and literal mud-dragging

    · Why nature (unruly, chaotic, alive) is the perfect teacher

    This episode is packed with insight, laughter, self-reflection, and the gentle reminder that you and your dog are allowed to be beautifully unruly and always (im)perfectly yourselves.

    Thanks for wandering the wild edges with us on Unruly By Nature.

  • Intuition, Accountability & Connection with Dogs — Why We Don’t Have a Clue (And That’s the Point)
    Nov 26 2025

    We'd LOVE to hear from you!

    In this soul-stretching episode of Unruly By Nature, Sue, Rachel, and Kim dive into a truth most dog guardians secretly feel but rarely admit: we don’t actually have it all figured out — and that’s the beauty of it.

    Together they explore how intuition, accountability, and feminine energy shape the way we relate to our dogs, ourselves, and the world around us. This isn’t about “fixing” dogs. It’s about feeling, listening, softening, and evolving — moment by moment, just like our dogs do.

    Inside this episode, you’ll experience:

    • Why the dog world is stuck in “masculine doing mode” — and why embracing the feminine intuitive side is essential
    • The accountability crisis in dog guardianship and how it affects our relationships
    • Why not knowing is actually a powerful, liberating space
    • Real stories of intuition, self-reflection, and the magic of pausing
    • How botanical synchronicities and intuitive communication show us that nothing is random
    • Why our dogs are our greatest mirrors — and our softest teachers

    Raw, wise, funny, and energetically rich, this episode invites you into a deeper way of seeing your dog… and yourself.

    Thanks for wandering the wild edges with us on Unruly By Nature.

  • Episode 006: Holding Space, Letting Go, and Listening Deeper
    Nov 12 2025

    We'd LOVE to hear from you!

    In this soulful episode of Unruly By Nature, Rachel, Kim, and Sue explore what it truly means to hold space—for ourselves, our dogs, and the unseen connections that guide us every day.

    Through deeply personal stories, they reveal how the need to “know why” often blocks our intuition, how dogs mirror our healing journey, and how listening without judgment opens doors to peace and trust.

    In this episode:

    • The power of holding space without trying to fix
    • What happens when we stop needing to “know why”
    • Lessons in trust, timing, and rest—from nature and our dogs
    • How to recognize meaning in everyday moments
    • The healing intelligence of the body and earth

    Whether you’re walking your dog or reflecting on life’s timing, this episode reminds you that healing begins when we stop pushing and start listening.

  • Episode 005: Ditching the Labels: Rewilding the Way We Speak About Dog Behavior
    Oct 29 2025

    We'd LOVE to hear from you!

    Words are powerful — and sometimes, they get in the way.

    In this episode of Unruly by Nature, we unpack the language that shapes the way we understand dog behavior — and ourselves. From the labels that box in our companions (“reactive,” “aggressive,” “trained”) to the quiet, energetic ways we communicate beyond words — through scent, intuition, energy, and presence — this is a conversation about listening deeper to our dogs and what they’re truly expressing.

    Join Kim, Rachel, and Sue as they explore the stories behind the words — from the humor of “bollocks” labels to a cowboy made of black pepper. Together, they reveal how ditching the labels and rewilding the way we speak about dogs can bring more curiosity, joy, and real connection — with our animals and with life itself.

    ✨ Expect laughter, grounded wisdom, and that familiar mix of soulful and slightly unruly honesty.
