I love my nights as a vet but my body, brain (and hair!) not so much 😂

Did you know?!?

MOST veterinarians worry about not being good enough once in a while (or all the time!), no matter how experienced they are.

And you can’t tell just from looking at them! And neither can others when they look at you.

You are likely 1) judging yourself much more harshly than anyone else and 2) not being evaluated all the time even if your brain thinks so.

Notice when your brain starts worrying, and remind it of these two things. What if you’re actually much better than you think? And 
 what IS good enough?

But first of all, know this:

We ALL feel uncertain of what we’re doing, and of our decisions, most of the time.

We just don’t tend to share that, because we think that other vets DO feel certain, and so there must be something wrong with us, and we’re afraid to be found out.

There’s so much freedom in accepting that certainty only appears in a limited number of cases (and I’ve got to be honest, even when I’ve BEEN certain, I’ve been proven wrong afterwards 😂), so we can understand that it’s not WRONG to feel it.

You might ask “but if I can’t be certain, doesn’t that mean I might make a mistake and harm the animal/disappoint the owners?”.

Yes. Making a mistake in this profession is ALWAYS possible, AND we can’t ever avoid it 100%. It comes back to:

- Do your best, always, with what you’ve got available (information, finances, tools, experience).
- Accept you’re not God, so you can’t know everything nor save everyone
- Love and accept yourself despite not being perfect.
- This means, especially, NOT beating yourself up with the whip of hindsight.

I’ve created a little email course to help you with this, especially for vets who are dreading going to work in the morning. You can find the link in my bio and it’s 17$.

Veterinary Medicine: Keep going until you’re a shadow of yourself. Then leave, hating the profession and with your self worth in pieces. OR


Set boundaries, and fast!! Don’t let all the little things slide until you can’t even breathe.

Boundaries for your management, for the clients, for your colleagues and .. yourself!

Setting boundaries is the KINDEST and most respectful thing you can do for everyone involved.

They allow you to stay in the profession in a way that you can still be you, have a life and not feel overwhelmed and frazzled just trying to decide what to have for dinner.

If you’re like I used to be; a total people please and an inability to say no, THIS is a whole module in my Happy in Vet Med course.

A participant’s mum said to her: “you’re so much happier and calm now, you should have done that course YEARS ago”.

Don’t wait years. Your ability to be happy as a vet is within reach, right now. And when you sign up for the course you get full email support with me, a whole coaching session to work on the thing you struggle most with, AND, bonus! If you decide to sign up for coaching with me you get a discount for the value of the course as it is included in my coaching. Win-win!

You can find the link with all the info on my website or DM me and I’ll send it directly to you so you can check it out đŸ„°

“There is still so much uncertainty in my day
.”

These are the words of a vet who’s 4 years in and wants to leave the profession. She feels behind, like she should somehow be further along by now.

Most of the vets that I know that have left clinic talk about this uncertainty they’re so glad they don’t have to feel anymore. It’s like a constant, crippling undercurrent of “What if I’m wrong? Should I have taken that test instead? Do I need to operate, and how long should I wait before making the decision? Should I call the owner now or when I know a bit more?”

But you know what the only problem is here? What’s REALLY stressing vets out? Is that we THINK we should feel certain. That if we were really good vets, and at the level we “should” be, then we WOULD feel certain most of the time.

And you know another thing? I’m 22 years in, and I DON’T feel certain most of the time. AND, furthermore, the times where I DO feel certain, in hindsight I’m still wrong sometimes.

Sidenote: There are times when I seem to get everything right, I get a bit cocky, I start assuming things instead of staying humble and starting with the basics every time, and THEN I make a mistake that humbles me again.

Certainty doesn’t mean anything about you as a vet. In this profession, there are so many crazy things that influence our cases, and so many unknown factors; What did they eat, and when? Was he run over? Is she coughing or retching at home? Was it a seizure or a syncope? What does the owner mean when they say “floppy”?

And all the things that are going on inside the animal that we just can’t know, what’s happened in their past (is it a rescue?), and now add the owners whole education, culture, habits and finances in.

We’re not God; we can’t know everything and we can’t save everyone. But somehow, subconsciously we beat ourselves up for this. Intellectually we OF COURSE know no one is perfect, but in practice? Most of the vets I speak to (and the version of myself from 6 years ago) believe the uncertainty they feel means there’s something wrong with them, that they somehow don’t really belong and that all other vets are always much more certain than themselves.

Well, now you know! They’re not!

I’ve created a little email course for the vets that are dreading going to work partly due to this constant anxiety inducing uncertainty, so if you’d like some (not too overwhelming) help with this you can get it here for 17$:
