• Ep. 33: This job is a prison
    Dec 16 2024

    Do you feel trapped in vet med?

    Are you dreading the start of the week, wishing you could do ANYTHING else than working in a clinic?

    Have you half heartedly tried to look around for something else but -

    1) there doesn’t seem to be opportunities for you out there or

    2) you do NOT have the energy or enthusiasm to make plans and really go for it?

    A vet reached out to me about this, and ended the message with “this job feels like a prison”.

    This is NOT what I want for you, my friend in vet med ❤️

    Whether you’re so desperate as this vet, or you’re just slightly dissatisfied with your current job, you should have a listen to this episode.

    Because we only have one life.

    You have a TON of options in and out of vet med to be as happy as Larry.

    You just need to be able to cut through the c**p, and in this episode I help you shake it off!

  • Ep. 28: Bad reviews and cyberbullying.
    Nov 11 2024

    Do you loooove getting good reviews and positive feedback?? Cards and chocolate??

    Me too! Who doesn’t???!!!

    However … In this podcast episode I explain the danger of relying on external validation and positive feedback in order to feel good in our vet career.

    Because what happens when the reviews are negative - or the extreme, we’re subject to cyberbullying??

    Listen in to learn how you can avoid the world crashing down around you when suddenly the world seems against you and you start doubting yourself and where you belong.

    Don’t rely so much on other people’s opinion about you that it counts more than your own opinion about yourself.

    It’s dangerous, and in this episode you’ll learn why, and how to avoid it so you can navigate safely in the veterinary waters.

  • Ep.27: Does perfectionism make you a better vet?
    Nov 4 2024

    Do you need to be a perfectionist to become the best vet you can?

    I’d argue no, because there are THREE main ways perfectionism can be debilitating and it’s vital you know about and can recognise them.

    This way you don’t fall in to the same trap as so many other vets before you, burning yourself out and feeling terrible about your “professional weaknesses”

    There is only one mindset from which you can afford to be a perfectionist, and in this episode you’re going to learn the difference so you can be honest with yourself and recognise if you’re on a slide to burnout OR becoming the best version of a vet you can.

  • Ep 26: How to cope with failure. Story of the balloon dog and doomed German Shepherd.
    Oct 28 2024

    Right up until the day you leave vet school you can avoid the feeling of Failure by studying more and working harder.

    That doesn’t work in the real world. Failure is GUARANTEED along the way.

    Now how do you cope?

    You’re a clever cookie, so you likely never got to experiment failure before.

    Therefore you don’t learn to cope with the feeling, and never get used to it.

    This is DEVASTATING for a perfectionist personality and will drive you into the ground, because you won’t be able to cope, and will feel even more of a failure because you don’t know how to handle it.

    In this episode I explain what happens to us when we fail in the clinic, with real stories from my vet life, and I give you my top 3 points to learn how to deal.

    Fear failure no more!! And never again feel you’re alone with this struggle.
