In this episode, I talk with animal care professional, Tiffany, AKA Hunt For A Keeper. She discusses compassion fatigue in the animal care world and how it needs to be addressed. She talks about symptoms and how you can deal with compassion fatigue. We also talk about what it’s like being a zookeeper and some of the harsh realities like the low pay and struggle to find personal and work life balance. This is a MUST-LISTEN!

Episode #113: Penguins To The MAX

In this episode, I interview “Penguin Lady” Dyan Denapoli. She’s a penguin expert, TED speaker, and author. In the interview, Dyan goes into detail on how at the age of 30, she decided to drop everything and start working with penguins. It’s a really inspirational podcast that I know you’re going to love!
