Everyone Wants to Name the Dog is an unforgettable journey through life's twists and turns, guided by humor, resilience and the power of saying "Yes, And..." With sharp wit and grounded wisdom, Judy explores the lessons tucked inside everyday moments, whether standing up to adversity, navigating a male dominated industry, or embracing the absurdity that shows up when you least expect it.

These essays weave together triumph and failure, heartbreak and laughter, vulnerability and strength. Judy moves effortlessly from the spontaneity of improvision to the joy of photography, from the chaos of parenting to the gritty, character-building world of scrap metal and on being a girl. Each story is told with honesty and reflection, offering insights that feel deeply personal yet universally relatable.

At its heart, this book is about finding meaning in the unplanned and unexpected. Life rarely follows a script, but through collaboration, faith, curiosity and a willingness to stay open, we can uncover purpose in places we never thought to look. Judy's experiences remind us that even in the messiest moments, there is room for connection, growth and laughter.

Listeners will see themselves in this book. Their struggles, their joys, their questions and their own unfolding story. Everyone has one.
