Are you fed up with the way that equine practice has been run for the past... forever? In this episode you will hear the plans for an exciting new equine-focused seminar.

You and I are where change starts. I am hopeful for a brighter future in veterinary medicine.

Pay attention to what brings out the best in you. Cultivate that and then let go of what is no longer serving you.

Dr. Lillie Davis is on the podcast today sharing very personal stories and amazing advice. I thoroughly enjoyed our chat and I hope you do, too. Thanks again @drlilliedavis! 🥰

Summer School is in session when the June newsletter comes out tomorrow. Find it at the link in bio and then go sign up if you want to hear about all the latest goodies from The Whole Veterinarian. I swear I only email once a month, and sometimes they even arrive on time😁

You might call yourself lucky, but you're probably not giving yourself credit for all the hard work that came before the luck.

You are responsible for your successes. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise and make sure to find a community that supports you.

Have you evaluated your vet school loans recently? If you have, or will have, any student debt, you need to check out this episode. @financialcoachmeagan (Meagan Landress, CSLP) proposes a different way to think about federal student loans when considering an income driven repayment plan. She and @studentloanplanner help tons of vets make a specific plan for their loans.

Amber LaRock, LVT (@vettechandtravel) joins me in this episode to tell her story of alcoholism and mental health struggles. She credits her sobriety for the amazing life she's living (she's currently volunteering in Thailand!) and she is an absolute inspiration. Check it out wherever you listen to podcasts or at the linkinbio.

None of us are perfect. We can, however, utilize our weaknesses as areas of growth if we're willing to examine them.

You have the potential for greatness. What's in the plans?!

You can be adaptable. This profession requires it of us. Both @truenorthdvm and @vet_redefined have wonderful stories that highlight how adapting to new avenues has allowed them to sustain their love of veterinary medicine. Check them out on this episode and also check into their newly available Advanced Vets Academy.

Burnout? Overwhelm? Disillusionment? How can this be what I worked so hard for?

You may feel a little stuck in this veterinary profession. Many of us are feeling burned out and overwhelmed. What you might not realize is how well-prepared you are to adapt and create a life you love within veterinary medicine. It might not be the exact path you always thought you'd take, but there's definitely a path for you. You just need to be willing to get creative and find one that fits.

More inspiration to dig deep into personal well-being from @dr.quincyhawley of @get_motiveted. Check out the rest of his advice wherever you listen to podcasts or at the linkinbio.

This quote so succinctly sums up many of the scary transitions in life. Whether you are just starting your first job or internship, trying out a new surgical procedure, adding your first associate (like me!!!), having a child or even just working on your own personal growth, it never feels comfortable. It's also never easy. I'm here to tell you that it's almost always worth it. Do the hard thing.

LOVE this definition of emotional well-being from Renee of @get_motiveted! I had an amazing chat with Renee and Dr. Quincy Hawley about all things personal development and well-being on this week's episode! They are huge supporters of all of us in #vetmedicine so make sure to give them a follow! Check out the episode at the link in bio or wherever you find your podcasts.

You have people rooting for you in this profession. Today's podcast guests are two of those people. Renee Machel and Dr. Quincy Hawley founded Get MotiVETed with the goal of ending burnout for veterinary professionals. They are creating amazing resources to help you develop a life where you are thriving in vetmed, not just enduring vetmed. Link in bio to listen!

Do you have a plan to work on something for yourself this week? I'd love to know what your personal goals are!

Julie Squires will teach you the important difference between compassion fatigue and burnout. She is an amazing resource for our veterinary profession. Check out some of her wisdom in this episode of The Whole Veterinarian podcast and you can also check out her podcast @rekindle_juliesquires!
