  • Ep. 86: Living in the future
    Jan 19 2026

    I want you to be aware of a trap we tend to fall into as humans, and as vets we’re even more prone to it.

    It’s a trap that keep us forever in a spin we can’t get out of; a spin that keeps us busy and incapable of ever reaching happiness and fulfillment, as vets, and as humans.

    Tune into this episode, and see if you can recognise where you’re at in this story.

  • Ep. 85: Creating safety for yourself
    Jan 12 2026

    The world can be a scary place sometimes, and the veterinary profession is not exempt. Most of the time, however, our fear isn’t really based on something actually happening, right now, but more around the IDEA of it.

    Whether it’s Trump trying his seemingly best to start a (few) world war(s), or you’re about to do a bitch spey on a fat labrador, it can feel scary and out of control.

    In this episode I want you to learn how to create safety in your own body, so you don’t have to live constantly scared and anxious - because apart from the health consequences of having adrenaline and cortisol playing catch in your body 24/7, it’s just not much FUN.

  • Ep. 84: How inadequate are you?
    Jan 5 2026

    Let’s start out 2026 strong, getting rid of ANY feeling of inadequacy you may feel around being a vet

    A lot of us just take some cases and use them against ourselves as proof that we’re inadequate, that we’re not good enough, basically a bit useless as vets (especially compared to others).

    I want you to listen to these two cases I bring today, and see where you may be doing the same thing, feeling inadequate for really no reason at all!
