Bonus Episode: Burnout and the Parts of Vet Med Nobody Prepares You For with Dr. Gunila Pedersen, MRCVS
Veterinary medicine can feel emotionally exhausting in ways nobody truly prepares you for. In this candid conversation, veterinarian and colleague Dr. Gunila Pedersen and I explore the hidden realities behind veterinary burnout, including perfectionism, difficult client interactions, leadership challenges, emotional trauma from cases, and the pressure to always “get it right.”
Together, we’re sharing personal experiences from practice, the mindset shifts that helped us recover from burnout, and why learning boundaries, communication, and self-trust can completely change the veterinary experience.
This episode is an honest look at the emotional weight veterinary professionals carry and a reminder that you are not failing just because the profession feels hard.
