#142 (Human) Death in VetMed [TRIGGER WARNING]
Manage episode 381605982 series 2900678
Trigger Warning... this week on the podcast I tackled some very sensitive topics.
There are some hard truths in veterinary medicine about what we are doing as veterinary professionals that keeps us creating terrible experiences for ourselves.
When those terrible experiences compound, terrible things often happen.

The reason that we stay in positions that we actually don't feel aligned with anymore is from fear. Fear of judgment, fear of of isolation, fear of not being accepted, fear of somehow that means failure. We can't create better life and career experiences from fear.
You are perfect exactly the way you are. You have opportunity for growth and expansion and and experiencing things well beyond what you experienced in this current moment, %100. You have the right to goals and dreams and bigger things in the future, 100%. And you have the capability of creating all of it.
The bottom line is this... if we don't take personal responsibility for the role we play in creating our o
