#7: The 5 Domains Map: A Path to Self-Care Sustainability

Pets Teach Love with Dr. Whitney Keller

Discover how your emotions can be the key to finding sustainability.

Ever feel like the word “sustainability” is thrown around too much? I totally get it. But what if I told you sustainability isn’t just about hugging trees or keeping up with the latest eco-trends? It’s something you can find through your emotions and actions, and something you can start practicing today. This podcast episode outlines a map for finding self-care sustainability and explores the impact on your mental and emotional health.

We’re talking about how to approach everything from nutrition and health to your emotional and mental state, using your own values and resources. And speaking of emotions? They aren’t the bad or wrong—they’re actually your best tool to figure out what’s working and what isn’t.

Episode Highlights:

• 1:24 What is sustainability?
• 2:27 The 5 Domains framework
• 5:03 Mental state & Areas of Control
• 6:51 Reframe: use this map for your pets, too!

If you’re ready to find a sustainable rhythm for both your life and your pet’s, get comfy and listen in!
