October 14, 2025Not One More Vet: Behind the Brave Faces of Veterinary Care
Send us a text
This episode is for the ones holding it all together–until they can’t.
In honour of World Mental Health Day, I take us beyond the hero narrative to explore the emotional cost of care in international veterinary, wildlife, and conservation work. From compassion fatigue and burnout to moral injury and isolation, we’re pulling back the curtain on what this work really demands — and what it means to keep showing up anyway.
Featuring insights from Not One More Vet (NOMV), this candid episode weaves together personal stories, systemic truths, and field-tested strategies for staying afloat in a profession where care often comes at a cost.
