Bethany and Kait are back with coffee, chaos, and a brutally honest conversation about what it actually feels like to be a dog trainer. It starts light - sleep scores, smart rings, and why Kait’s RingConn (named Brenda) acts like a bullying fitness coach while Bethany’s Oura basically rewards couch time.
