MEET STACEY
hey there!
LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
Fueled by equal parts coffee and passion, I spend my days managing horses who like to hurt themselves and kids who do about the same thing.
I am a woman, wife, mother, equine vet and continual learner. I have realized that by focusing on my personal development, rather than just my professional CE, I have been able to get back to a place of happiness within veterinary medicine. I hope to share resources that will allow you to do the same thing.

Building a brand for your veterinary clinic or for yourself personally is a daunting task. And like today’s guest mentions in the episode, you are building a brand whether you like it or not, so why not be in charge of how people see you? Danielle K. Lambert shares many more vetmed marketing gems in today’s episode.
If you have student loan debt or are still in vet school, tune in to today’s minisode. Dr. Rebecca Mears generously shared some amazingly helpful information with me recently, and I knew I had to share it with you all. VIN Foundation has a plethora of great information available to veterinary professionals for ZERO dollars!
Let’s be honest. We need to make a profit to keep our practices open. But what is the cost of running a veterinary business without taking your team’s wellbeing into consideration? Today you get to hear the numbers when it comes to recruitment, burnout, staff turnover and all things workplace wellbeing. Mr. Matthew Salois, PhD is an economist who is deeply involved with the people side of veterinary medicine. That might sound like a surprising mix, but Matt provides a valuable and deeply knowledgeable perspective for our veterinary industry.
In sharing her path from burned out surgical resident to thriving house call concierge vet, Dr. Eve Harrison highlights a fundamental truth – veterinary medicine can truly be whatever you make of it. We talk a lot about the logistics of screening clients as she describes the strict boundaries around her practice culture, but in doing so, we are given an opportunity to see the real life effects of being in the driver seat of your own life and career. There’s much to glean from this conversation, even if you aren’t a mobile veterinarian. And for my equine colleagues, listen up – we can definitely stand to take away a few pointers from this chat!
I have really enjoyed this podcast so far. Your advice is useful for all walks of life, not just veterinarians. It’s a nice way to unwind and reflect and get quiet during a busy week.

We run on coffee and kind words. If you like the show, it would mean the world to us if you leave a review. It really helps others to find the show and gives me a big boost of motivation when I hear from you.
