SO, if you like this format (AND if you have thoughts to add!) let me know and we will do it again and potentially throw in some guest comments or questions! This one is made for you! Just remember... there's no right answer and these are just the opinions of three ladies in three different areas of equine medicine at the moment.If you want to get involved in chats like this while also learning amazing content from well being and personal development speakers, make sure to join us in October at the Sustainability in Equine Practice Seminar and Retreat!...Connect with us! www.SEPseminars.com Stacey - thewholeveterinarian@gmail.com Misty - mgray@rosepointdvm.com Kelly - info@starwoodveterinaryconsulting.com....Support the show Connect with Stacey or find more from The Whole Veterinarian!www.thewholeveterinarian.comIf you want to have a small part in supporting the production of the show, click here to Buy Me A Coffee!IG @thewholeveterinarianListen on your favorite podcast player hereThank you for your time and support!

Make the Most of Your Veterinary Career (While Maybe Still Getting Peed On!) featuring Dr. Mike Bugg
If you've ever wondered what the heck you're doing here in vetmed, then this episode is for you. We get to dive deep with veterinarian and author, Dr. Mike Bugg, about his new book, You're Gonna Get Peed On:  How Veterinarians Can Keep Their Dream Job From Becoming a Nightmare While Working Less and Earning More. I can't recommend it highly enough - so make sure to check it out and don't miss the awesome bundle of goodies that he is giving away on The Veterinary Project website until the end of April!...About Michael Bugg, DVMDr. Michael Bugg is a full-time real estate investor and veterinarian with over a decade of clinical experience in veterinary medicine. After graduating from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2008, he practiced as a mixed-animal veterinarian before shifting to a small-animal general practice.Like many of his colleagues, Michael struggled with the unique demands of veterinary clinical practice. Overwhelmed and burned-out, he often felt as if his career was spiraling into a nightmare. He struggled to get ahead financially despite the long hours he spent at the clinic. His entire life was impacted by his career stress—so much so that his wife gave him the moniker Miserable Mike. This, along with working amid the early 2000’s financial crisis and witnessing once-retired veterinarians picking up shifts, motivated Michael to take back control of his life.In 2012, Michael and his wife, Rosalie, began building their real estate portfolio while working in their respective careers. Eventually, this real estate portfolio allowed Michael to cut back his veterinary hours to part time. In 2018, he decided to take the leap into real estate investing full-time and explore new ways to be a part of the veterinary community.Michael believes that the greatest way veterinarians can combat burnout is by taking charge of their personal finances and aligning every aspect of their lives with their veterinary vision. He is the cofounder and cohost of The Veterinary Project podcast, which aims to help other veterinarians thrive in their careers and intentionally design more joyful, fulfilling lives.Michael lives with his wife, Rosalie, daughter, Riley, and son, Ethan, in Saskatoon,Saskatchewan, Canada.Learn more at his website, The Veterinary Project or follow him on Instagram!...Resources that we mentioned or used in this episode: You're Gonna Get Peed On by Dr. Michael Bugg The 5 Minute Journal from Intelligent Change The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Support the show Connect with Stacey or find more from The Whole Veterinarian!www.thewholeveterinarian.comIf you want to have a small part in supporting the production of the show, click here to Buy Me A Coffee!IG @thewholeveterinarianListen on your favorite podcast player hereThank you for your time and support!

Did you know that VIN Foundation has FREE student debt resources for ALL veterinarians?!
If you have student loan debt or are still in vet school, tune in to today's minisode! Dr. Rebecca Mears generously shared some amazingly helpful information with me recently, and I knew I had to share it with you all. VIN Foundation has a plethora of great information available to veterinary professionals for ZERO dollars :) ...Personalized help with student loans and repayment for veterinarians and vet students is completely FREE through VIN Foundation! This is done through an anonymous post on the student debt area of the VIN message boards. If someone is not a VIN member, they can create a free VIN Foundation login, which gives access to a small section of the message boards.  Posting anonymously allows for a thorough discussion without identifying information being shared and others can learn alongside at the same time.  If someone still has questions after a discussion on the message boards, additional help may be available through a phone/Zoom consultation, but it is suggested that a donation be made to VIN Foundation to help offset the time that goes into that session.  If you aren't a VIN member and would like to set up a VIN Foundation login do so here.  (This link can be used for veterinarians, vet students or pre-vet applicants!) If someone is looking for student loan help and isn't sure how to get started this page is really helpful. Filling out this Debt & Income Signalment provides the details needed to discuss a borrower's situation. There's also a special pre-vet area on the VIN Foundation Center. For those looking to learn more about life as a veterinarian, applying to vet school, or vet school student debt, they are encouraged to use the Cost of Education map on VetSchoolBound.org and the Apply Smarter message board.  ...Find out more about The Whole Veterinarian at our new website!Instagram: @thewholeveterinarianFacebookEmail: thewholeveterinarian@gmail.comSupport the show Connect with Stacey or find more from The Whole Veterinarian!www.thewholeveterinarian.comIf you want to have a small part in supporting the production of the show, click here to Buy Me A Coffee!IG @thewholeveterinarianListen on your favorite podcast player hereThank you for your time and support!

No Egos Allowed with Dr. David Stephens
Highlighting equine practices that are moving away from "traditional" equine veterinary norms is a way to bridge the gap that exists between younger and older veterinarians. We cannot hope to attract new talent to our pool of equine veterinarians if recent grads and students don't know that there ARE progressive practices out there. I'm excited to highlight a few of these practice owners over the next couple of weeks. To start off, please enjoy this discussion with Dr. David Stephens of Weems & Stephens Equine Hospital in Aubrey, Texas....Dr. David Stephens, DABVP graduated from Texas A&M University in 1990, which was followed by a one-year internship at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital.  Upon completion of a surgery residency at Oklahoma State University in 1994, he became a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (Equine) in 1995.
