In this episode I share the Key To Freedom, and explain how most of us are going about it all wrong... and creating unnecessary suffering for ourselves in the process.

Many of us dream of experiencing more freedom in our lives and we work really hard to create or obtain the variables we believe make freedom possible.

The truth is, we're going about it all wrong.

Freedom isn't something we achieve through action. 

It's not dependent on the perfect work schedule, the absence of work, the presence of large sums of money in the bank or a healthy retirement account.

It's not contingent on the people we work with, the family obligations we're under, or even our personal health.

So if you're working really hard to create freedom, and believing it's never going to be enough... you'll never be free... well, you're right. 

But don't despair! The path to creating freedom for yourself is much easier than the path you've been on. In this episode I explain why, and how to move forward the right way for yourself.

Veterinary Professionals are NOT mentally unstable. This profession does not attract, or create, the crazies! 

Entertaining either of those beliefs is not useful... and has the potential of turning into it's own self-feeding vortex.

No Thanks! 

In this episode I dig into the factors that contribute to the wellbeing challenges we experience:

1. Compassion-Driven personalities
2. Personal Insecurities
3. Academic Culture of Bullying

I also explore why we are MORE POWERFUL than all of that combined!

We are taught that if something feels bad, then we shouldn't pursue it. Although that may make sense in some circumstances, most of the time it holds us back from taking the actions we need to take to stay in alignment with ourselves, and move toward our goals and dreams.

In this episode I explained why Right decisions sometimes feel sooooo terrible, and shared a recent experience that helped me untangle this dichotomy in a tangible way. 

I also shared why it is essential that we follow through with our "right decisions" even when it feels terrible is exactly what you need to grow your self confidence and move toward your dreams.

By nature, veterinary professionals tend to be very compassionate… at least outwardly so.
We also tend to be very judgmental when it comes to ourselves.
Despite what we may believe, this self-criticism is not self-contained.

In this episode I explore how the lack of compassion we have for ourselves is impacting the compassion we are able to extend to others and share four indicators that help us see where we have opportunity to create more acceptance for ourselves.

We are greatly influenced in veterinary medicine, and in life, by the people we spend time with. Whether physically, or virtually, the impact is real.

In this episode I explore the negative impact we experience in our lives and careers from  mentors we don't choose for ourselves.

I also walk through a process for evaluating the impact of the influencers in your own life.

It's not uncommon for veterinary professionals to realize years into their careers that something is missing in their lives. 

The veterinary career has become all consuming in regard to focus, time and energy, resulting in a life that is tethered and disengaged. 

This lack of progress in our lives is fueled by two different things that keep us stuck... and they're sneaky. 

One is a commonly practiced behavior, the other is a pattern often awarded. Neither, however, are useful in helping us continue on our life journey. 

In this episode I discuss the two sneaky patterns that keep us stuck, and what we can do about it.
