Happy Vet Tech Week. I'm sharing some really insightful and helpful information for animal care technicians from an expert in the field, Dr. Kimberly Pope-Robinson, who has written an incredible book The Unspoken Life. We sat down to discuss what the Unspoken Life is like, how we can be more "spoken for" through self-care and filling our balloons, and go from broken and battered to resilient and rejuvenated.

Kim shared a TON of resources, so check her out at https://1lifecc.com/ to download free worksheets, watch free videos, and stock up on 1LifeConnected items to remind us that self-care is an important aspect of animal care.
