Tell Us What You Think

📝 Summary

As we step into the holiday season, I’m feeling especially grateful for community, connection, and the feeling of truly belonging — both in my personal life and in the world of veterinary medicine. In this episode of Tails of Truth, I open up about a big, heartfelt update: I’ve found a veterinary practice to call home.

JoJo and I explore what it means to trust your gut in a profession that’s rapidly changing, why community matters now more than ever, and how the challenges of the pandemic reshaped the veterinary landscape. From relief work drying up for me, to the loneliness of jumping clinic to clinic, to the joy of finding a supportive, aligned environment — this episode is all about alignment, intuition, and honoring the work you’re called to do.

We also talk candidly about the growing demand for holistic care, the emotional cost of losing community during COVID, and the unique pressures female veterinarians face while balancing career and family. Whether you’re in vet med, love someone who is, or simply appreciate candid and vulnerable conversations — we hope this one will resonate.
