What happens when women veterinarians stop chasing expectations and start choosing alignment? In this IRL episode of The Evolved Vets Podcast, Dr. Bethany Weinheimer and Dr. Anna Foster reflect on their time in Kauai, Hawaii, and unpack the biggest lessons from the first-ever Summer Evolution inside the Evolved Vets membership.

Recorded live during a veterinary CE retreat, this conversation explores authenticity, alignment, community, and how intentional change helps veterinarians build careers and lives that actually feel fulfilling. Bethany and Anna share real stories about rituals, coaching, manifestation, career transitions, sabbaticals, love, boundaries, and redefining success on their own terms.
