#32: No Apology Needed: Not Knowing What the Vet Knows
Loving your pet doesn't mean knowing everything.
Another apology I hear way too often? Apologizing for not knowing something! You bring your pet in, get unexpected news, and suddenly you're drowning in guilt, thinking, "I should've known." But here's the thing: You were never supposed to know everything. Even veterinarians don't have all the answers all the time!
In this episode, we're diving into the emotional weight of not knowing and why it's time to let go of the guilt. We'll talk about how knowledge doesn't guarantee control, how we can shift from self-judgment to self-forgiveness, and why simply showing up for your pet is what truly matters. I'll also share a personal story about my own dog, Roscoe, and the unexpected lessons I learned when faced with the unknown.
If you've ever felt like you "should have known better" when it comes to your pet's health, this episode is for you. Let's unpack this together and learn how to move forward with compassion and curiosity.
Episode Highlights:
- 01:16 - Guilt from unwanted outcomes
- 03:16 - Seeking help for your pet is proof of love
- 04:07 - Knowledge doesn't guarantee control
