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.

My Job is Such a Huge Part of My Life, Could I Be a Mom and Do This Too? with Kaylee Franklin of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
As a working parent, you might have asked yourself the question, "Can I be a mom and do this job too?" My guest this week, Kaylee, asked herself that question before becoming a mom. It's a valid question to ask and one that is also tough to answer! Often, zookeepers have a reputation of living, eating, and breathing their career. Is there room in that world for another role?
Kaylee and I talk about this and so much more! Does raising baby animals help you with human newborn care? Is cosleeping a game changer for working parents? Is it hard to trust you intuition? Listen as we dive into these topics!
