1-800-GOAL-DIGGER An English Goal Digger Production

I am a changed person. Yes, a dog changed me. I am officially a bona fide dog mom, fur mama, mother of the howlhold. I know you are probably wondering where I’ve been. I am safe. Thank you for your concern. I have just been so preoccupied by raising my pawpect little fur baby. 



And to re-introduce the 1-800-GOAL-DIGGER show to you all, this episode is going to be a little different. You guys and gals never complained about my monologue, but truth to be told, I’d like some variety for your pleasure. I interviewed my first guest. Natasha, the Founder of Ween and Co, a dog friendly social club.



We chatted about the highs and lows of being dog parents, sharing insights and lessons we've learned, and how our furry babies have totally changed our lives. Plus, Natasha spilled the beans on her journey to kickstart Ween and Co – it's a tale of passion, determination, and a whole lot of doggy love. 



Have a listen.

I have double standards. When I talked to you guys in episode 14 about Simon Leviev, the Tinder Swindler guy who pretended to be a diamond dealer, a billionaire businessman, conned multiple women he met on Tinder saying his life was at risk from enemies in the diamond trade, I was livid. But that’s until I discovered Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey, the woman behind the Anna Delvey Foundation, ADF. See time codes and show notes below:

I dished out my husband in the last episode "A Valentine's Day Special" saying that he asked for gold stars when he does anything around the house, or that he can't read the room or speak my love languages. I was frustrated okay? In episode 15 of 1-800-GOAL-DIGGER "Love Is Finding Myself", I redeem myself by sharing a story of our first trip together to Mexico. While waiting for our fight coming back to Canada, I realized I lost my Customs Form, which is an absolute requirement for departing Mexico. My husband didn't lose his cool.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Valentine’s Day?

Teddy bear, chocolate, or 999 roses bouquet?

I just had a random thought, what if Tinder or Netflix crashed on Valentine’s Day?

Oh and the real holiday is actually February 15, because all the chocolates are 70% off!
