The Truth of Loving Animals: Intimate Conversation with Kathy Stevens of Catskill Animal Sanctuary
Today is episode # 200 and I have the most special guest on with me, the Founder and Executive Director of my “happy place” Catskill Animal Sanctuary (CAS). More than 300 rescued farmed animals call CAS’s 150-acres “home”. I couldn’t be more delighted to invite you into this intimate conversation about my favorite topic, animals.
In this episode we discuss:
-How Kathy went from high school English teacher to animal sanctuary founder
-How she navigates compassion fatigue
-What our food industry doesn’t want us to think about…the animals
-Why she believes loving animals isn’t enough
-The most profound thing she’s ever learned from an animal
