In this episode, Kathy Stevens discusses:

* Finding the touchstones in your life to bring you back to your best self.

* The story of her greatest teacher, a sheep named Rambo, convincing a pig that life was worth living.

* The gift that animals offer humans.

Key Takeaways:

* At sanctuaries, it's not just the humans who help animals heal: other animals have an important role as well.

* Pigs are fastidious animals: their penchant for mud is to prevent sunburn, keep the bugs off, and keep cool with their lack of sweat glands.

* Connecting deeply with animals during uncertain times is a healthy way to stay grounded.

* Find the things that give you joy.

“I wouldn't leave a plant behind, much less a highly aware, sensitive, and intelligent animal dependent on humans for his very survival." – Kathy Stevens
