The Positive Vet Nurse

In this episode, I share with you a bit about a difficult experience I have had recently and how I got out of the funk. I will help you to come back to yourself after having a tough time using my 'back to me in 63 challenge plan'. You can follow it along or you can come up with your own, though I hope you find inspiration from this episode.

Who are you when you’re not working?

In this episode, we’re talking about career identity, self-worth and why it’s so easy to let your job become a huge part of who you are, especially in veterinary.

You can love your career and still be so much more than what you do for a living.

In this episode, we're getting into self-doubt — where it comes from, why it can be particularly prevalent in veterinary, and the sneaky ways it can show up in practice.

We'll talk about perfectionism, comparison, unattainable standards, impostor phenomenon and some of the neuroscience behind why our brains can be so bloody good at spotting everything we think we're doing wrong.

I'll also share some of my own experiences of self-doubt, including when I first started The Positive Vet Nurse and wondered whether anyone would actually care about what I had to say.

And, most importantly, we'll get practical. I'll take you through an exercise to help you uncover where some of your self-doubt comes from, challenge the beliefs underneath it, and create a more helpful way of thinking about yourself.

So many veterinary professionals have passions, skills, and niches that extend beyond their day job, but knowing how to turn those ideas into real opportunities can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I’m sharing practical tips on how you can start small, grow your visibility, and create projects that truly light you up.

We’ll cover:

• How to get clear on your passion and niche

• Simple ways to start sharing your expertise

• Who to reach out to for opportunities (and how to do it)

• Why consistency is key to building trust and authority

• How to create your own opportunities when they don’t already exist

Whether your passion is behaviour, wellbeing, nutrition, or something totally unique, this episode will help you see how to take the first steps toward turning your ideas into something more.

And if you’re ready to go further, I’m running the Confident Content masterclass, a mini group coaching session designed to help you get clear on your next steps and bring your passion projects to life.

Here in this episode I talk to you about my DO's and DON'Ts of creating veterinary content! This is through observations I have made over the years and mistakes I have seen people make and I don't want you to be one of them! I also talk about my biggest icks and share those with you.

If you're interested and want to learn more about how to create amazing content to help you get paid for your veterinary passions, join the Confident Content Masterclass - currently it is on the early bird offer!

In this podcast I talk to you about how I went from posting messy Canva graphics with a handful of followers to building a platform that’s created real opportunities. This podcast is about sharing the ups and downs of content creation, confidence, and how you can use social media to open doors you never expected.

In this episode, I’m answering your confidence questions- from how to prove you’re confident (spoiler: you don’t need to) to how I handle being around outspoken colleagues without shrinking myself.

I’m also sharing my thoughts on body image and how I’ve learned to manage those struggles while still showing up fully in my work.

We’ll talk about finding your voice, holding your space, and making progress in your career, even if you’re working full-time and trying to break into a new niche like exotics.

This is a real, honest conversation about self-trust, mindset shifts, and why true confidence doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful.

Ever feel like you’re giving your all at work, at home, online and it just goes unnoticed?

In this episode, we’re talking about that quiet sting of feeling unappreciated, and why so many of us crave validation more than we realise.

I’m sharing personal stories from my own career when it felt like no one noticed the extra effort, and how easy it is to start tying your worth to external recognition (especially in a field like vet med).

We'll dive into why validation-seeking shows up, how to spot it, and the mindset shifts and practical tips that helped me stop chasing approval and start celebrating my own quiet wins instead.

If you've ever thought, "What’s the point if no one notices?" this pep talk is for you.

In this episode, we’re tackling that relentless voice in your head - the inner critic. You know, the one that tells you you’re not good enough, smart enough, or capable enough. But what if I told you that silencing it isn’t about fighting it but understanding it?

I’ll walk you through how to put a name and face to your inner critic, separate it from your identity, and approach it with compassion rather than resistance. Because beneath the criticism is often a protective instinct - one that we can learn from instead of being controlled by.

If you’ve ever felt held back by self-doubt or imposter syndrome, this episode will give you the tools to shift your perspective and regain confidence in yourself. Let’s rewrite the narrative together!
