When Your Toddler Wakes You at 3am and You Record a Podcast Anyway
Sat Feb 07 2026
It's 4am and Candace's toddler just woke her up. So instead of lying in bed hoping to fall back asleep, she's recording this episode.
Because sometimes leadership shows up tired. Sometimes it's messy. Sometimes you just get it done anyway.
In this quick episode, Candace shares:
⭐ Why sometimes responsibility shows up at inconvenient times
⭐ Global Pet Expo announcements - where you can find (and celebrate!) with PBN
⭐ New keynote booking - she's speaking at the ODD Ball (Owners of Dog Daycares Conference) in January 2027 in Albuquerque, New Mexico
⭐ SuperZoo talks and in-person events at Dante and Dory's in Galesburg
The real message: Your brain doesn't clock out as a small business owner, and that's okay. Don't feel guilty if it's not perfect - just get it done.
Whether you're listening to this early in the morning or late at night or in between everything else you're carrying, you're not behind. You can get ahead whenever you can.
Sometimes building a business starts before the coffee even kicks in.
And P.S. She was able to go back to sleep after this recording and a few Slack responses to the team, lol.
