Surprise, surprise! Baby Caras number two is on the way. Callan is now officially going to be a big brother. We are so excited and so grateful for all the love and support we’ve received after announcing this on Instagram.

It’s been a little while since we’ve had a strictly business-focused podcast, so we decided to change it up today and talk about how to grow your business. As business owners, we often get stuck in the rut of running our business instead of working on growing it. This tends to happen for one of two reasons: first, we don’t know what to do to grow our business; or second, we aren’t taking the time...

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking all about influencers, specifically, whether the influencer era is over.

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking about what your dog’s horoscope says about them and maybe what it says about you. Whether you believe in horoscopes or not, this was, to say the least, a funny topic. We also take a tangent to talk about the stories we choose to tell ourselves and the ones others have told us about ourselves. It’s wild how those stories can shape our perceived re...

Today’s episode of Life Unleashed was sparked by a conversation we had this past weekend at a baby shower. Everyone there was around our age, but almost none of them want kids. That got us thinking… there are probably a lot of people who feel the same way about having a dog. So in today’s episode, we talk about our observations on why not everyone wants to own a dog or have kids. We also share our...

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking all about the pros and cons of our decision to downsize Tails Up, Pup. A little over a year ago, we made the tough call to move out of our retail office space and bring the business back into our basement. Now that we’ve had time to reflect, we’re sharing the real impact that decision has had: the good, the bad, and everything in between. If you...

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one dealing with something, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re continuing a conversation sparked by one of our recent Questions of the Day that we ask daily on Instagram. We’ve been doing the Question of the Day for over six years now and have had a lot of great ones—but this most recent question about frozen bananas sparked so much discussion, we knew we had to keep it going. We also dive into some other weird and...

If you haven’t heard yet, Ensley is pregnant! We’re so happy for her and Paul. She asked us to put together a gender reveal box for them, and we’re so excited for them to find out what they are having. We’re also talking about a fun and much-debated question of the day - if you could have any animal as a pet, what would you choose? So get ready for another fun, exciting, and slightly random episod...

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re sharing some life updates and reminiscing about our childhood dogs. We’re doing this in honor of Danielle’s childhood dog, Harley, who just passed away. Our dogs bring us so much joy—they’re truly part of the family—and losing them is never easy. It’s often heartbreaking, sometimes even traumatic. But today, we wanted to honor Harley and share some stori...

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking all about how to stay motivated. We’re getting deeper into 2025, and let’s be honest—some of the goals we set for ourselves back in January may be slipping a bit. So we thought it would be a great time to revisit those goals and lock in for the rest of the year. When it comes to accomplishing anything, having motivation is incredibly helpful—but...

We both share our opinions on this topic and explain why we feel the way we do. Do we agree with each other… or not? You’ll have to listen to find out. There’s no right or wrong answer here—we can only speak from our experience and perspective so far—but we...

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking about things we think are normal… but we’re pretty sure are not.   Is wearing shoes in the house normal or not? Should you have the password to your significant other’s phone? Should married couples share their finances or keep them separate?   These are just a few of the things we’re diving into. So join us for another fun episode of Life Unleas...

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking about burnout. It’s something most of us face at one time or another, and it can be really difficult to push through. Depending on your situation, it can last for what feels like forever.

In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking about the struggle of trying to balance everything—while also raising a child. We know we’re not the only ones who find it hard to juggle it all. Between parenting, work, seeing family and friends, and finding time for hobbies, it often feels impossible to do everything—or at least do it all well. So today, we’re diving into how we handle the ine...
