When last did you experience unconditional love? Jodie Diegel is the President and Founder of the Soul Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy Program, which features Chicagoland’s most experienced and comprehensive animal-assisted therapy teams — including registered therapy dogs, miniature therapy horses, and miniature therapy donkeys!

Their mission is to enrich lives by promoting the love and healing of the animal-human bond, while advocating and promoting animal therapy standards. This is a truly delightful insight into the inner workings of an animal therapy non-profit. From their reach in the community (visiting schools and hospitals), to the training that is required to be an animal trainer, all is discussed and explained by Jodie. 


Please be sure to listen to this animal-focused episode of Chicago Business Review, if only to hear Jodie describing a miniature pig walking down the aisle — not to mention miniature horses and donkeys, as well as how you can volunteer and support Soul Harbour! 


Joy, love, and laughter abound in this lighthearted and soulful conversation about animals and their unconditional love. Please join Young Lee, your host, and his wonderful guest, Jodie Diegel.





“We are advocates for our animals. And when we go out we have these relationships with them. You can’t just be on the other end of a leash, right?” ~ Jodie Diegel
