The Q: What’s your biggest takeaway from becoming a rescue parent? What have you learned?
Ever since I was first initiated into the rescue community it’s been a non-stop learning experience. I’m so grateful for the many people who’ve taught me what’s going on in the world AND for all the animals I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with.
I’m really excited to share what you’ve learned from your experience in the rescue world! I’m also thrilled to be sharing the mic with my season 3 co-host, Britany Felix, from the Living Unconventionally podcast.
But before we get to our conversation I just wanted to rewind for a second, because I kind of threw Britany into the show without an explanation, and I totally meant to give you one. If you’ve been listening since the 1st episode you already know that I intended these Q&U episodes to be unedited and “conversational” which I’m saying in air quotes, because I only ever intended to talk to myself in these shows. Of course, I’m actually talking to all of you, but it’s not much of a conversation if you can’t respond to me immediately.
It’s also not much a of a conversation if I prepare my answers, and, the truth is that, even though the Q&U episodes were a bit more casual, I was editing the shit out of them. I was reading your comments over and over again, and calculating my responses, and if I sounded awkward I’d just start over and delete the awkwardness… can you guys tell I have a love hate relationship with perfection? I want to be this perfectly real person, but there is no such thing. It’s an oxymoron.
The only way for me to stop being so conscious of how imperfect I am is to actually get into a real conversation, plus I figured you guys could use some new stories and a fresh perspective, and what better way to do that then bring on an adventurer who is passionate about the cause? Speaking of which, don’t forget to check out livingunconventionally.com to follow Britany & Brian’s RV adventures; every Friday is the adventure update, and I look forward to hearing this episode most of all each week.
So I hope you will enjoy our conversations and appreciate every ah, um, and like we stutter and stumble through… we’re keeping it real… listen in by hitting play above!
