In a social justice movement where we work tirelessly for innocent sentient beings, it can be tempting to become martyrs that don't consider our own needs. But Dr Ishani Rao would argue that this isn't what is best for animals. Kate & Ant talk to the author of 'Choosing Compassion' (Mark's Pick of the week a couple of months back) about using self-care to harness the power of our incredibly motivated activist community.
