Thrive DVM Podcast

This week's episode is an EPIC interview with founder of Resilience Rising Vet, Dr. Jacqui Horner.

Resilience Rising Vet's mission is to bring awareness to mental health and equip veterinarians with resources for wellness and to help veterinarians build resilience. In light of global events surrounding COVID-19, I can't think of a better person to interview to give us all some advice on cultivating wellness and resiliency.

This interview is SO impactful, and we have very candid and vulnerable conversations surrounding topics including anxiety and depression, so if you're someone struggling with either/both, I want you to be forewarned that this could be potentially triggering.

Jacqui is an epic human, I hope you LOVE this episode and find so much value in our conversation!

You can find Jacqui on Instagram @resiliencerisingvet and at her website Resiliencerisingvet.com ! If you love this episode, don't forget to share on your IG stories and tag myself @_lo.curtis and Jacqui!

You can't go a single day without hearing the term "self care" - but is self care selfish? What's the difference? I'm here to say there not at ALL the same thing. This week we're unpacking the difference between being selfish and practicing self care (with a bonus blip about self sacrificing). Remember - you can't pour into others if your cup is empty!

Have you heard of the concept "work-life balance"? Of course you have - it's all over the place these days! Have you found yourself executing it poorly and then feeling like sh*t because of it?

This week we're talking about why I actually think it's a MYTH and what I recommend instead! And I have a feeling you're gonna dig it!

So - it's MATCH DAY in the veterinary world! A day that can bring a sense of elation or dread and disappointment & I wanted to talk about it! This week's episode you'll hear about my experience in the SCRAMBLE and my take on why I'm actually grateful for this experience!

No matter if you matched or didn't match, if you weren't even in the match, or if you're not even in the vetmed world - I hope you dare to be BRAVE and know that I am so PROUD of you for doing so!

In this episode we're talking with Sarah, the new grad vet!

Sarah graduated in 2018 from Ontario Veterinary College and started practice in Small Animal practice in January 2019. Sarah and I dive deep into some of the most important lessons she's learned in her first year of practice!

Sarah opens up in a really authentic way about the hardships of achieving goals in veterinary medicine and being a veterinarian, but through the lens of POSITIVE SOLUTIONS for moving through the hardship and growing into a stronger, more resilient human and veterinarian.

This conversation will serve to remind us all that we're not alone in our struggle, but we are in control of how we move through it.

Major topics we cover in this episode include:

• PERSONAL growth necessary for PROFESSIONAL growth
• How FAILURE can actually SERVE you
• GROWING through the challenges we face
• Giving the negative voice in your head a NAME and disassociating with her
• The SKILLS that will serve you MOST
• Navigating the client RELATIONSHIP
• Increasing CONFIDENCE

As you can tell - it's an epic conversation & I hope you love it! Don't forget to tag me @_lo.curtis and @thrivedvmpodcast AND Sarah @thenewgradvet!
