Mothering Wildlife
Telling the stories of moms who work in zoo, wildlife, vet, and conservation organizations. Working with wildlife brings a unique set of challenges for working mothers. Join me weekly as I interview moms working primarily in the zoo field as we discuss their journey as moms, navigating the mental, emotional, and often physical challenges that come with caring for wildlife and caring for kids.

Moms Helping Moms Across Species - How One (Human) Mom's Tea Became an (Ape) Mom's Treasure with Cindy Cossaboon of the Denver Zoo
It doesn't matter if you're an orangutan or human mom, all moms need a little bit of help sometimes. When an orangutan at the Denver Zoo started showing signs of discomfort associated with early pregnancy, a fellow (human) mom stepped in to help. Join my guest this week, Cindy Cossaboon, and I as we talk about how a tea she drank in early pregnancy was also useful for one of the orangutan's at the Denver Zoo.
