This Wednesday, I’m delighted to be joined by author, journalist and wellbeing coach Jo Carnegie for a conversation that I think will resonate deeply with many people working in animal welfare. Jo went from interviewing A-list celebrities and writing bestselling novels to spending time helping street dogs in India. Today, she is passionate about supporting the wellbeing and mental health of women working in the animal welfare space. Together we’ll be exploring: • Looking after your wellbeing while caring for others • Recognising and preventing founder burnout • The emotional realities of animal welfare work • Effective storytelling for small charities and rescue organisations • Building sustainable support and funding models Animal welfare can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be emotionally demanding. This session is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and gain practical tools to help you continue doing the work you care about—without losing yourself in the process. 📅 Wednesday 3rd June 2026 ⏰ 16:00 GMT 📍 Inside Kathleen’s Paws Rescuers Sanctuary Because caring for animals starts with caring for the humans behind the work too. #AnimalWelfare #CompassionFatigue #RescueCommunity #AnimalRescue #KathleensPaws
