Episode 55: “Music, Community & Felines” with Bobbi Heller—Music by Todd Lowry

In the latest episode of The Celebrate Happiness Roadshow podcast, we are talking with Bobbi Heller, who was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and came to the US to study at the California Institute of the Arts, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in music. She next worked in the entertainment industry and she founded her own film distribution company.

Bobbi and her husband moved to Santa Fe New Mexico in 2000. With her love for cats, she founded Felines & Friends New Mexico in 2002, and is the Executive Director.

Bobbi also co-hosts the weekly radio show and podcast Pet Chat with Murad & Bobbi, which will reach its 200th episode milestone in spring 2026. Throughout the show, Bobbi, along with Murad Kirdar, Director of Community Engagement at Española Humane, provide ongoing information on all things pet-related to the broader community and beyond.

 

Check out this uplifting episode in which Bobbi discusses her love of music and animals, cats' particular relationship with sound and vibration, the concept of "working to live" rather than "living to work", and the importance of community in one's life.
