Ep 45: Burnout is NOT a Badge of Honor

What this episode covers

This week we are talking about burnout. Specifically the type of burnout we experience from the hidden messages that we receive as veterinarians. Internalized messages like we have to save every pet. We cannot turn a client away. It is my job to make sure that every animal is seen. To be a good doctor, I need to place the needs of everyone else and every animal out there above the needs of myself. To be valuable and worthy I need to say yes when I really want and in some cases need to say no. Often these ideas are presented to us as being noble and good. And we are awarded these metaphorical "Badges of Honor" for coming in when we're sick. For working when we have a family emergency. For always saying yes. For constantly staying late. And even for accepting salaries and wages that do not support our lives. But beside these metaphorical badges - what do we actually have to show for all our sacrifice? Because the truth is, at the end of our lives, there is no badge of honor for being burned out. Five Fundamentals Workbook - Never feel burned out again! Let's connect!
