In this episode, I talk with Kim Castrucci, Curator of Animals at the Brevard Zoo,  about her journey to becoming an animal care leader — and how becoming a mom changed everything about the way she leads and lives.

Kim and I talk a lot about being a leader within the zoo field and recognizing that personal lives are important.  She discusses the challenges of navigating pregnancy and motherhood in a demanding field, the importance of supportive leadership, and the lessons she’s learned about flexibility, empathy, and trusting your team.

She also shares heartwarming stories about her spirited three-year-old daughter, Leah, her deep affection for Grevy’s zebras, and how her love for animals continues to shape her as both a leader and a parent, helping her to create a workplace where caregivers can thrive.
