Holy crap, woman. I agree with daroos: gold bars. And good wine. I can't tell how you feel about the charity work, but if you're getting to the point where it feels too much, then maybe it's time to start charging for some of that time. I think you're well-established and respected enough as a trainer now that you could do so without hurting yourself.
"I'm doing more charity stuff with dogs than I ever have. I give people with rescues 10% off (that's the majority of my clients, actually), I do free training for dog walkers in how to walk safely, now I'm hopefully teaching vets and techs what to look for and how to stay safe and how to soothe the dogs as best as possible in a bad situation. ***It's not a lot, but somehow, it seems like a lot.***"
First agree w/ N and D on both accounts. Second, you need to re-read the above paragraph as many times as it takes for it to sink in that YOU'RE DOING A FUCK TON!! And that's just the physical, hands-on stuff. It doesn't include all the phone calls you don't charge for, all the emails, all the chats *after* the dog training when clients have extra questions and keep you late. Give yourself some slack, Love. You're burning the candle at both ends, yet you only have one wic to burn.
