Doing It All, Taking It Day by Day, and Remembering It All Will Go On Without You with Katie Gries of Ochsner Park Zoo
Nov 09, 2023 Episode 19

Sometimes we are so heavily involved in our workplace role that we worry if they will be able to carry on without us when we need to take time away. Join me this week as I talk to Katie Gries of Ochsner Park Zoo.  A small facility, Katie is involved with almost every aspect as a Zoo Manager.  We talk about how guilt can set in when we feel like our absence is creating more work for others and worry how it impacts the animals in our care.  It can feel hard to step away after the birth of your child when so many living beings (humans and animals alike) rely on you!  Sometimes you just need to take it day by day and remember that it all will go on without you.
