In this conversation, Allie traces her path from an animal-obsessed thirteen-year-old to a business owner mentoring other… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/w9cj9vu8m6fi877t/170-Bender-Allie.mp3) ## [169. Eileen Anderson, MM, MS](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/169-eileen-anderson-mm-ms/) _2026-08-11 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ Eileen Anderson resists easy labels—she’s a dog writer, a passionate amateur, and the person most likely to tell you that the product promising your dog silence during a thunderstorm is working against physics. In this conversation, Eileen shares how a difficult dog pulled her out of a doctoral program and into behavior science, why most sound-dampening products can’t deliver what they promise,… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/qjutk2vbyapu7isr/169-Anderson-Eileen.mp3) ## [168. Debbie Sheridan, UW-AAB](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/168-debbie-sheridan-uw-aab/) _2026-07-28 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ Debbie Sheridan has spent her career helping people understand fearful dogs—and unlearning the idea that "obedience" is the goal. As the owner of Debbie's for Dogs, a certified end-of-life doula for companion animals, and a dog bite prevention educator, Debbie brings warmth, directness, and a deep respect for what dogs are actually communicating. In this conversation, she talks about the message… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ddnq4zeetfmzjzrj/168-Sheridan-Debbie.mp3) ## [167. Liz Clarke](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/167-liz-clarke/) _2026-07-14 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ Liz Clarke spent decades zigzagging through careers — nursing, witness care, celebrity coaching, travel — before a week in Bulgaria stretched into three months and a street dog named Kathleen changed the direction of her life. Now the founder of Kathleen's Paws, Liz supports animal rescuers and expats in Bulgaria through advocacy, education, and the kind of behind-the-scenes work that frontline… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ckcdbnztv8ntnveu/167-Clarke-Liz.mp3) ## [166. Jenny Roberts](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/166-jenny-roberts/) _2026-06-30 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ Jenny Roberts has spent years doing the invisible work that holds a veterinary practice together. As a customer service representative (CSR) at Partners Animal Hospital of Asheville, she's the person who answers the call when someone's pet might be in crisis, who notices the doctor hasn't called back, who makes sure the schedule doesn't quietly implode. In this conversation, Jenny talks about what… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/cbhnesx3y9v3w75y/166-Roberts-Jenny.mp3) ## [165. Valerie Bogie, MSSW, VSW, FFCP](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/163-valerie-bogie-mssw-vsw-ffcp/) _2026-06-16 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ Valerie Bogie spent sixteen years training animals in zoos and aquariums before a convergence of burnout, a cross-country move, and a chance connection led her to veterinary social work. Now she splits her week between animal behavior consulting at a board-certified behaviorist practice and her own business supporting veterinary and pet professionals navigating caregiver burden. In this… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/kwpifyrc2earfztj/165-Bogie-Valerie.mp3) ## [164. K. Holden Svirsky, CTC, CSAT](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/164-k-holden-svirsky-ctc-csat/) _2026-06-02 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ Holden Svirsky came to animal behavior sideways — through a layoff, a shelter volunteer shift, and the slow realization that what she'd studied about human learning applied just as well to dogs. Now a behavior consultant and longtime shelter professional, she chairs the Pet Professional Guild's Shelter and Rescue Committee and thinks carefully about what sustains people in this work over the long… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/qmuebw9tgfutpfsw/164-Svirsky-Holden.mp3) ## [163.

In this conversation, she talks about carrying old cases in your heart, the particular loneliness of a field where there's often no one to debrief with, and why "forgive yourself" might be the… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/pgmx2bkm72rqsf7u/163-McCue-McGrath-Melissa.mp3) ## [162. Morgan Jenkins, FPPE](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/162-morgan-jenkins-fppe/) _2026-05-05 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ When things are going badly, it sometimes helps to remind ourselves that “this, too, shall pass.” The flip side of that, of course, is that the good times pass as well. That can seem depressing at first, but what if instead it was simply a reminder to really soak up those good times while they’re there? That’s the philosophy of dog trainer Morgan Jenkins, who finds encouragement from remembering… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/4iy7psuujdcrtrr6/162-Jenkins-Morgan.mp3) ## [161. Kim Brophey, CDBC](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/161-kim-brophey-cdbc/) _2026-04-21 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ “Be kind” is the kind of advice we hear so often that it seems almost trite. But what does it really mean to be kind and why does kindness suddenly seem so much more important than ever? How does kindness look- to others, to animals, to ourselves? Dog trainer Kim Brophey believes in the power of kindness and giving people grace. Not only does she believe in it, she’s developed a whole system… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/zisp2j94psqhrmsz/161-Brophey-Kim.mp3) ## [Earn crypto for idle GPUs (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/T7Cki6nM3TY4) _2026-04-21 · **Sponsored**_ Run one CLI, host Qwen/Llama/Mistral, and earn BTC, ETH, SOL, or USDC ## [160. Lili Chin](https://unleashedatworkandhome.podbean.com/e/160-lili-chin/) _2026-04-07 · UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar_ Lili Chin didn’t set out to be an animal artist—she set out to be an animator. But a crisis with her own dog drew her into the world of dog training and animal behavior. From there, one thing led to another and suddenly she found that she was the “go to” person for illustrations of animal body language. Now, her adorable drawings can be found in books, posters, and brochures, helping people… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/w9a8jtsyryrit5nx/160-Chin-Lili.mp3)
