Learn how to tackle the overwhelm, difficult clients (and colleagues!), emotional toll, high expectations and the general craziness we all experience in vet med.
Your host Gunila Pedersen is a Small Animal Veterinarian working in ER and also a Master Certified Life Coach. She burnt out after owning her own clinic, and managed to find the way back through life coaching.
Today she shares insights, relatable topics, tactical advice and the tools and inspiration that will help you fall head over heels in love with vet med again just as she did.

Ep. 81: 6 very important points: “should” you?
After this week of nights and coaching I’ve realised there are 6 very important points you need to know if you work in vet med, most around the word “Should”.
Here’s the list of all 6, that I encourage you to have behind your ear/on your phone. I elaborate on them in this episode but remember this check list:
1: “I should know this” No you SHOULDN’T. Don’t make it mean anything about you.
2: “I should be able to resolve this on my own”. No. Be willing to be vulnerable, and show your weakness.
3: “I shouldn’t feel like this”. Yes you should. Vet med gives us a WHOLE range of emotions, none of them are inherently bad unless YOU think so.
4: “There should be THE right decision and I don’t know which one. And I should know”. There is no THE.
5: Trust your gut. Not the text book. Most pets haven’t read the text books.
6: “It went wrong” Did it? Remember to evaluate PROPERLY.
