Wednesday 3rd June 2026 @ 4pm GMT We have the lovely Jo joining us for our next cuddle corner session: Who is Jo? I am a writer and ex magazine journalist, who went from interviewing A-list celebrities to helping street dogs in India. I am a trained coach specialising in wellbeing and mental health and I am passionate about supporting women who work in the animal welfare space. I am the author of nine women fiction novels and I currently write a Substack newsletter called A Year of Ghosts, an irreverent look at anything spooky, silly and spiritual. I am the proud Ambassador for the Tree of Life For Animals in Rajasthan, India, where I visit yearly to cuddle orphaned puppies and drink lots of chai. What we will chat about: Looking after your wellbeing and mental health in the animal welfare space/how to avoid founder burnout. Effective storytelling for small charities and or/ how to build effective revenue models if we have time Where you can find Jo. Instagram @jocarnegie1

I know how fast the world moves, and for those of us who carry a lot of responsibility for the animals, it’s easy to get to the end of the week without ever really stopping. I’m curious—how are you actually doing today? Not how you’re "managing" or "getting on," but how you are feeling in yourself? I’ve been doing some work this week on how I process the heavy stuff that comes with rescue, and I’m finding that just taking a moment to name what I’m feeling makes the load feel a little lighter. New lesson incoming on how you can do this too…. If you have a moment, I’d love to hear one thing that’s sitting on your heart, or even just one small thing that brought you a moment of peace this week. I’m here, I’m listening, and I’m so glad you’re in this little corner of the internet with me. 🤍

Hi everyone! I am so thrilled to announce our very first Cuddle Corner call. The purpose of these calls is simply to remind you: "You are not alone." We have the perfect guest to guide us. Nicola Trudy is a Bodywork Practitioner who has a special gift for supporting people experiencing burnout and overwhelm—the "deep feelers" among us. If you carry a lot emotionally for the animals you serve, this session is a safe space for you to land. Session Focus: Big Hearts, Burnout, and the Wisdom of the Body Nicola will guide us through a short, seated embodied practice. It’s very gentle and designed to help us connect safely with our body and breath. • Please bring: A clean tennis ball 🎾 (we’ll use it to explore releasing tension). You can still join and practice without one! When: Wednesday 29th April @ 6pm GMT Where: Online. Remember: Zero pressure. Camera/mic off is 100% OK. Just come as you are. The recording will be added to the Library afterward for anyone who can’t make it live. See you there! Liz & Kathleen
