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!

If you need a dose of inspiration, hearing Silva Martin tell her story will help you pick yourself up and dust yourself off. She and her family have been through some amazingly difficult times and have only come out stronger and more resilient on the other side. Thanks to my dear friend for sharing her struggles with us.

Leadership in Vet Med. Dr. Amy Grice has so much amazing insight to share on becoming a respected leader and mentor while carving out a wonderful lifestyle for yourself. Check her out in Episode 6 as we revisit some episodes from Season 1 this week.

What do you do when you need to reset or reframe? It can be really hard to bounce back when things don't go as planned (just ask my 5 year-old🤪🤯!) I'm interested to hear if you have any specific techniques to share.

HAPPY EARTH DAY 2021! Do you need easy tips to create a more sustainable lifestyle? Would you love to do more for the planet but have no idea where to start? In this episode I'm speaking with Brandy Heyde Montague. She's the host of the @foranimalsforearth Podcast, which is all about sharing simple and actionable tips on how to change your lifestyle in a way that betters both animals and the environment.

Excited to dig into ways to help animals AND the environment this week! You can learn a little here but you'll learn even more on Thursday when this week's episode with @foranimalsforearth drops.

Sometimes I get so caught up in the grand scheme that I forget to appreciate the little things.

Let's grow together.

Take a #walkinmyshoes.

You get to hear from Dr. Danielle Alleman today as we discuss how boundaries, and lack thereof, can contribute to the major burnout epidemic we have happening in #veterinarymedicine right now.

GET READY to talk all things wellness with @empathos.vet on Thursday! I finally got to spend some time with Dr. Danielle Alleman and we had a blast. You'll hear about boundaries, self-compassion and a few reasons why veterinarians are really set up to burn out. It's a good one🥰

How do your boundaries hold up against the daily requests of #veterinarymedicine?

I really enjoyed these two episodes focusing on becoming a better leader. Very different perspectives and a bit of a time investment but well worth it! Thanks to Isaiah (@isaiahd_vwm) for the Randall Stutman recc when he was on TWV last month!

Two super short podcast episodes to check out from @tenpercenthappier and @tedtalksdaily. No excuse not to listen and gain a little perspective on how your life as a white woman is remarkably different than those of our Black counterparts.

You will hear unique perspectives in both of these podcast episodes, but I took several ideas away from both interviews.

We've all got to start somewhere, right? 2018 was the year that it became clear I was failing miserably at running my "life." I was doing a half ass job being a business owner, an average job of being an equine vet and mom and a terrible job at taking care of myself and my relationships. It took a lyme disease diagnosis, an emergency appendectomy one hour after cooking an entire thanksgiving meal and the loss of a friend's child to shake me out of my everyday grind.
