In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Sinnott, an award-winning dog and cat behaviourist who has been featured on BBC Breakfast, The Sun, and the Financial Times. After completing her training in clinical animal behaviour at the University of Edinburgh, Lisa has built a reputation as “animal mad but qualified,” bringing both passion and expertise to her work.
Lisa shares stories from her childhood, growing up in a loving family while navigating the challenges of an absent father, and the resilience she drew from her gran's influence. She opens up about the winding journey of figuring out her path in life, the inspiration that led her to start her own business, and the support network that helped her along the way. One of the themes that resonated most is the power of community. Lisa is proof that success doesn’t have to be a solo pursuit, by seeking guidance and leaning on others, goals can be reached faster and with greater strength.
This conversation offers practical advice for anyone considering pet ownership, insight into what it takes to build a career you love, and a refreshing reminder that resilience, support, and passion can carry you further than you might imagine.
