Clearly you are someone who is here to make their mark on this world. You do big work. You save or improve lives. You help provide a good death. That’s BIG work my friend. 

BIG work comes with BIG emotions. 

And those BIG emotions don’t always get the attention they deserve. The BIG emotions I’m talking about are grief, loss, sadness, disappointment, shame, regret and guilt. 

Working with animals puts you in close contact with all of these emotions. Let's talk about what to "do" with them.  Registration for my 6-month group program for women veterinarians, Living a Life You Love, closes on Friday, March 31, 2023. Click here for all the info. 

So many people are trying to create new results in their lives in an attempt to feel better about themselves. But it doesn't work that way. We don't get self-confidence from the results we create. We don't love ourselves more based on accomplishing things. New jobs, awards, promotions or smaller jeans don't create self-worth. 

In this episode, I'll tell you what does!

It's no coincidence that 60-80% of animal workers are introverts AND 60-80% of animal workers experience burnout. Now extroverts experience burnout too but I believe that as introverts we have to be very self-aware of what we need to recharge ourselves. 

In this episode you'll learn:

-what I believe we need to know as introverts around burnout

-the 4 kinds of introverts

-how to love, accept, understand and have self-compassion for who you are and see your introversion as your greatest strength and something that needs caring for a little differently than others

We all get overwhelmed from time to time. I've noticed that my susceptibility to overwhelm increases when I have other pressures in my life. Contrary to popular belief, overwhelm isn't caused by our to-do list or our responsibilities. That doesn't mean we don't need to take a real hard look at those things and perhaps decide to make some changes. In this episode I'll give you my top 8 tips for dealing with overwhelm.

Compassion fatigue and grief often go together. When we don't make space to feel our grief, we get filled up with no room left to care. Working with animals exposes you to a lot of grief because you are exposed to a lot of death. But death isn't the only source of grief. We can experience grief related to any kind of loss. 

Regardless of the kind of loss, if grief is present there are needs a grieving person has. They are as follows: 1.To have your pain witnessed 2.To feel your feelings 3.To release the burden of guilt 4.To be free from old wounds 5.To integrate the pain and the love 6.To find meaning in life after loss

"We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it." ~ C. S. Lewis Isn't that the truth? Forgiveness of self and others requires that we let go of something, something we've been carrying for a long time. Anger, hatred, regret or guilt are commonly what we're holding on to. And while we may be justified in feeling as we do, we are the only ones feeling those feelings. The person who hurt you isn't. So we get to decide whether we want to forgive ourselves for our mistakes and the mistakes of others.  Forgiveness isn't condoning. Forgiveness is for YOU.  In this episode I explore forgiving yourself and others and remind you that you never have to if you don't want to. You get to decide.
