Behavior Has Made Me A Better Person

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in your job but don't have any idea what else you can do in veterinary medicine? Tabitha Kucera, RVT shares with us how she stayed in general practice too long.  She found a way to climb her way out when she realized that there are so many opportunities in this field and that we, as veterinary professionals, are capable of doing so many awesome things.  Tabitha spends her days helping pet owners and veterinary clinics save lives and improve quality of life by using the combined tools of behavioral modification and her motto "better living through chemistry". It took realizing that taking care of herself was important too for Tabitha to improve her own quality of life.  Tabitha shares with us how, once she viewed herself as a patient as well, she was able to start learning how to manage her own high functioning anxiety- by getting help.  Tabitha says it best - advocate for your patients AND advocate for yourself.

Om Podcasten

Vet Med After Hours podcast exists to inspire and empower veterinary support staff and professionals. Join us (a veterinarian practice owner and her client care specialist/clinic wellness coach) as we use candid conversations to give a voice to the people of vet med in a time when social media and the internet makes it hard for the public to see the person behind the medicine. We learn the stories that have built individuals into the compassionate, talented, strong team members that make this profession one that we love so much. Adversity, joy, tears, and success are experienced by each of us -you will find a bit of yourself in every episode. By knowing someone else shares your story, we hope that you feel empowered to inspire your teammates. We all share the ups and downs of this life and understand the roller coaster of the field - we will empower you to know it is okay to ask for help and to share your story as we normalize conversations about mental health and wellness. Our #vetyoumatter campaign will give you hope. Vet Med After Hours inspires, educates, makes you laugh, and starts conversations.
