The Overwhelmed Vet Podcast

There are times when we make a mistake, and then there are times when we or our patients are just unlucky.If the consequences of that bad luck are negative, for example, if you did a procedure and there was a complication, then it’s NORMAL that we have a reaction to it.If you have a great fear of anything going wrong, or you’re in the midst of one of those situations, then listen to this episode for a way to get through it with the least amount of anxiety and beating yourself over the head for no reason.Take the Quiz!

Isn’t it funny how we’re so suspicious around scientific studies, and don’t just accept any pseudoscience crap anyone presents to us, but THEN, when it’s stories coming from our OWN brain, we just run with it?!“I failed to examine it properly the first time”“The owners would rather have someone else look at their pet”“I’m too slow at this (bitch spey/dental/consults)”In this episode 101 (!) of The Overwhelmed Vet Podcast I give you a structure to know if you’re just bs’ing yourself in the worst way, with tons of examples (and a few mistakes I made last week, so you can see you’re not alone). Hey!

We made it to 99! Let’s break down the three steps any vet needs to take to go from surviving to actually thriving — starting with two mindset shifts that sound simple but will genuinely change everything. And then I get into the structure: the two big areas you need to work on, and why most of us are doing it completely backwards.Here's a little teaser: one of the steps is realising that you are not that special and I say that with full love 💛If you've ever felt overwhelmed by where to even start — this one's for you.Hey!

You've just taken over a case. And what you're looking at… is a mess. Another vet's mess.Maybe it's steroids and NSAIDs prescribed at the same time. Maybe it's antibiotics thrown at a dog with diarrhea just because. And the owners are convinced their vet is God, while you're standing there thinking — how on earth do I work with THIS?In this episode I talk about what to do when you inherit a badly handled case — because there are two things you need to manage at once. How do you talk to the owners WITHOUT throwing the other vet under the bus, while still doing right by the animal? And how do you handle that frustration and powerlessness you're feeling inside?Because here's the thing — you don't know the full story. You weren't in that consult room. You don't know what pressure the other vet was under, and you don't even know if what the owner is telling you is the truth, because stressed and upset people don’t tend to remember accurately. I also share the exact phrases I use to change a treatment plan diplomatically, and how to keep your focus on the one question that actually matters: what is best for this pet, right now, with what I've got?Hey!

After this week of nights and coaching I’ve realised there are 6 very important points you need to know if you work in vet med, most around the word “Should”.Here’s the list of all 6, that I encourage you to have behind your ear/on your phone. I elaborate on them in this episode but remember this check list:1: “I should know this” No you SHOULDN’T. Don’t make it mean anything about you.2: “I should be able to resolve this on my own”. No. Be willing to be vulnerable, and show your weakness.3: “I shouldn’t feel like this”. Yes you should. Vet med gives us a WHOLE range of emotions, none of them are inherently bad unless YOU think so.4: “There should be THE right decision and I don’t know which one. And I should know”. There is no THE. 5: Trust your gut. Not the text book. Most pets haven’t read the text books.6: “It went wrong” Did it? Remember to evaluate PROPERLY.Go check out the course! Right here Hey!

“I’m not experienced enough".This is such a vague statement, because - enough for what? When ARE you experienced enough?How many procedures do you need to do to be experienced “enough”? Why?When I coach vets I so often see them being thrown around by random thoughts, and they react without any INTENTION behind their actions.It’s like saying “I should really lose some weight”. Ok, why exactly? How much? What are 3 things you can start doing right now? Or “I need more money”VAGUE statements will give you VAGUE results, and an unsatisfying life.This episode gives you a lot of examples of where we trip ourselves up and stay stuck because we lack intention behind our actions, and also burn ourselves out because of vague statements like “I need to study more”.Hey!

Sarah burnt out in 2004 and left vet med after having tried several modalities of veterinary practice. Since being a new grad she never felt she got a handle on it, and deeply believed she had to be right all the time in order to be a “good vet”. Like many of us (most?!?), she just didn’t feel she knew what she was doing most of the time, and it took its toll. After a 12 year break she realised she wanted to get back to being a veterinarian, and despite a lot of fear and self doubt she did so, with great success.So successful in fact, that she not only fully enjoys working as a GP, but also started coaching others that feel stagnant in their life and career. Join our conversation where you’ll learn why messing up your life might not be the worst thing, that your degree is never wasted, and that you can ALWAYS take a break from vet med and come back stronger than ever. Links: Website: https://www.sarahgarvencoaching.com/https://www.instagram.com/sarahgarvencoaching/linkedin.com/in/sarah-garven-1ba16a126https://www.facebook.com/sarahgarvencoaching/Hey!
