Description

Today we’re pulling back the curtain. Stay with us, come closer, lean in and join us in this raw, honest, and vulnerable discussion. We pride ourselves in our authenticity and ability to bare it all on The Animal That Changed You, but this is admittedly a difficult episode because we’re facing the situation in real time. Because it’s controversial. Because it deals with matters of the heart weighed against matters of the head.Jenny shares with Katya the very hard decision she is tasked with making: euthanizing and putting down a puppy who proved to be dangerous. Who proved to bring with him a situation that could not be managed or controlled. What we share today is the tough reality that many in animal welfare have to face daily, that too many still don’t discuss. But we want to talk about it, about all of it - the guilt, the feeling like you’ve failed this animal, the shame, the relief, the strength, the crumbling, the peace. And we want to talk about it with you. It’s an emotional episode no doubt, but we want you to know that we’re here to hold space for anyone and everyone who has ever had to make an unfair choice about a life. You’re not alone, and we’re here to support you through our experiences, our coaching, our compassion, and our friendship. Let us know what you think. Let us know what you feel. Even if this conversation makes you angry, we want to hear from you and learn from you. We are in the world of loving animals together.Join The Animal That Changed You community on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook -- we're waiting to welcome you!
