What if one of the biggest things holding groomers back isn’t technique…

…it’s a constantly overwhelmed nervous system?

In this conversation, I sit down with Angela Orr, a pharmacist with 41 years of experience, to explore why stress affects the way we think, feel, perform, and even connect with the dogs in our care.

This isn’t just another interview. It’s a conversation about creating healthier professionals, healthier workplaces, and ultimately, better care for the pets that depend on us.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, burned out, anxious, or like you’re carrying the weight of everyone around you, this one is worth watching.

🎥 Watch the interview and let us know what resonates with you most in the comments.

✨ Angela will also be joining us as a featured guest at The Groomer’s Speakeasy Institute Retreat this October, where we’ll dive even deeper into these topics alongside Joey Villani and a small group of passionate groomers committed to growing both personally and professionally.

The best part of hosting events isn’t the education—it’s the people.

Watching groomers connect, learn, laugh, ask questions, and support one another is what makes it all worthwhile. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who spent the weekend with us. We’re already looking forward to the next one.
