Sandra Schmidt is an animal psychologist, a science writer, a voice for the animals, a steward of the planet and she just may be one of the most inspiring people we’ve ever spoken to on this here show. Growing up in a city in Serbia, now living in a tiny town in Germany, she fully embraces what a close friend once told her, “Hey Sandra, you were born to be different.” Her hope is that she can spark someone, anyone, everyone to make better choices and small but mighty changes for the planet. And she’s doing this through her website where she shares all her thoughts and knowledge, sarahmaxresearch.com. We talk about neighbors and community, wasps and spiders, and how simply walking in the forest can reset and reconnect us to what matters most: each other and the planet we share together. Sandra also has one of the best laughs of any good guest we’ve had on so far and we all need more laughter and light in our lives.
