Ever find yourself apologising before you even ask a question or share your thoughts? You’re not alone!
In this episode of Found It, Fetched It, host Jo Perrott is joined by LWDG Mindset Coach Emma Liddell to dive into why women often feel the need to play small—whether it’s in gundog training or life in general—and how we can break free from that mindset.
We’ll explore why fear and self-doubt hold us back, how societal pressures have shaped us to apologise for taking up space, and what we can do to change that. Emma shares simple, practical tips to help you find your voice, set boundaries, and build confidence—not just for yourself but for the future generations listening in. Plus, we talk about how your mindset directly impacts your relationship with your dog (and how to stop letting fear mess with your training sessions).
If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, fear of judgment, or just feeling “not enough,” this episode is packed with relatable moments and empowering advice. We’re here to remind you: you and your dog are already enough, just as you are.
