You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup, But No One Slows Down

We say it all the time...you can't pour from an empty cup. So why does everyone in veterinary medicine keep pouring anyway?!In this episode, we get honest about burnout: what the early warning signs actually look like (cynicism, apathy, dehumanizing clients — and they're different for everyone), and why psychological safety through regular one-on-ones is your first line of defense.We also dig into the systems that actually support team wellbeing — staffing, charting support, structured space to process hard things — and why CSRs, technicians, and DVMs often need different solutions. People over profits, always.And then the harder question: are you taking care of yourself the way you take care of your patients? When did you last get your own bloodwork done?Host = Brenda Tassava Medina, CVPM, CVJ, MVLCEPanelists:Dr. Evan Ware, Practice Owner at Laveen Veterinary CenterJulie Squires, CCFP, CMLC, Rekindle SolutionsCarol Hurst, LVT, CVPM, CVJ, CCFP, Consultant at Encore Veterinary ConsultingResources mentioned:Compassion Satisfaction Accredited Workplace (CSAW) ProgramThanks for listening!Website: https://encorevet.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/encoreveterinaryconsultingInstagram: @encorevetconsultingLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/encore-veterinary-consulting
