This is essential for feeling fulfilled, confident and truly motivated, for any human, AND, as vets we tend to push it aside more than anyone else.

It's been one of those slightly frustrating night shifts.

Where you're just constantly doing little things, not really getting to a full diagnosis on anything and no satisfying life saving operations.

Some of the patients just seemed to be ticking over, band-aiding them without feeling we really and fully helped them.

And this is my face at handover, trying to remember what cat had what blood results as 3 of them were strikingly similar, and the bright awake day team taking over were just talking too much for my liking (there's a certain grumpiness after 13 hours of feeling you're walking through mud 😂).

But here's the thing.

The handing over cases all neat and tidied up in a bow is the EXCEPTION.

The rush and satisfaction of a dramatic save is so cool, and also doesn't happen so often.

The grind, the feeling you're not doing much, that you're actually not completely sure what's going on with your inpatients and it feels like you're not in control - that's NORMAL.

That's medicine.

And especially when you're dealing with patients that can't talk, some owners that maybe speak another language, other owners don't have that much money for the tests you'd like to run...

And you're expanding a width the size of Texas of variety of species, ages, breeds and conditions.

Remember none of this means there's anything wrong with you, nor that you're not doing a good enough job.

Vet med is messy.

And even when it feels like you're spinning your wheels you're actually doing a LOT for those that can't speak up for themselves, and for the humans that love them.

Just don't expect it to be linear, clean, consistent, or structured.

Have a great day everyone, I'm going to bed 😮

✹ By the way, these concepts are some of the things we will be addressing in The Thriving Vet Collective group calls, with real examples from peers just like you! ✹

We start on the first of October, and there's still one of the first round of founder's spots open đŸ€— Check it out here: https://gunilalifecoach.com/thriving-vet-collective

I am so bad at running it’s not even funny.

Considering I do both Muay Thai and CrossFit regularly, you’d think that running would be a piece of cake.

But alas, this is my face after 3,5 km jogging at 7 mins 30 sec/km on a flat surface next to the beach 😂

I look startled because I was, again, surprised at how quickly my body goes “NAY!” when I optimistically start plodding along at the start of the run thinking “I’ve got this”.

It is a great reminder that we don’t have to be good at everything.

That we can be mediocre at something and it doesn’t mean we’re mediocre as a person.

That we don’t have to be perfect at everything in order to be worthy.

People that are better runners than me are not better people.

Now apply this to veterinary medicine ❀

You never know what's behind a smiley face.

I'm genuinely having a nice relaxed time at the beach today, 3 days before going back to the UK for my week of crazy night shifts.

Years ago, I would still be smiling, but inside the anxiety was eating away at me.

I'd be worrying about cases that might not have gone so well, or worried I'd have to see patients I wouldn't be able to diagnose, or about being judged, and what ifs...

The problem with all of us smiling away and never telling others what's going on, on the INSIDE, is that we all think everyone is doing so much better than us.

Everyone else seems so put together and happy, so surely I'm the odd one out?

I shouldn't be feeling like this.

I'm inadequate.

I don't really know what I'm doing and it's terrifying to have to hold it all together, with the constant threat of "being found out".

On one hand, I wish l'd known from the get go that I was indeed NOT the odd one.

On the other hand, it's made me so, so prepared for speaking to other vets and knowing that no matter what they're showing me, their inner story is very likely highly different.

And it's made me a very good coach for vets that feel like l used to.

Do you know the relief of realizing you're not the weird, underprepared vet you thought you were?

Do you know the relief of shining a light on that inner shame of never being enough, and see that it was actually never truth?

And that EVERYONE ELSE FEELS THE SAME?

That's why I created The Thriving Vet Collective.

A group coaching program where for one hour a week you can either surface your own worries and issues and be coached on them, being an example for others, or see others do it, and be inspired.

We start on October the 1st, and there's 2 spots left for founding members at 19$/month.

Don't stay in the shadows, thinking you're the only one that's not smiling on the inside.

If you always find yourself saying yes to extra shifts/that-extra-consult-at-the-end-of-the-day-that-nobody-else-wants/a hen's do involving rubber d*cks-hairbands that's absolutely not up your street (nothing wrong with it if it IS your jam, yay!), or doing the shopping when you're already worn out and you REALLY wanted your partner to do it ...

Then you suffer from a lack of ability to set boundaries, and you are likely experiencing a lot of resentment, exhaustion and stress because of it.

Good news 🎉 đŸ„ł!!!

You were not BORN like this, and you can absolutely unlearn those old people pleasing patterns, and learn how to set and uphold firm boundaries in a way that's going to free up so much time and brain space for you that you can't even begin to imagine it.

I say brain space, because the amount of energy we spend on regretting and mulling over the stuff we didn't really want to do in the first place could light up your city's Christmas tree in the central square.

The thing is, setting boundaries is uncomfortable. If you're not used to it, then first of all you likely don't even know it's a possibility, and as soon as you think about it, you feel edgy and get a knot in your stomach.

That's why, in order to learn to master boundaries, you need to learn

1) Where are you not setting them, and where would you LIKE to set them

2) Be able to notice the discomfort when you want to say "no", and be able to break through that without collapsing upon yourself

3) Realise the consequences of NOT setting them, and have a clear picture of how amazing your life will be once you own and establish them đŸ’Ș

And I'm here to help you do exactly that!

Come to my workshop “Boundaries: The complete framework for veterinarians.” On Thursday the 8th October CEST/5pm UK/12 PM ET. Price: 25$, and you can sign up HERE​:

Have you ever worked or are you working in a clinic under poor management? Then you know EXACTLY how frustrating it can be!

In this episode 109 of The Overwhelmed Vet Podcast I take you through a process that helps you see what choices you have, maintain your wellbeing and how to:

Fight for systemic changes (e.g., staffing, protocols) by communicating needs clearly, but remain emotionally detached from the outcome to avoid disappointment

Set firm boundaries regarding work hours and schedules, informing management of necessary boundaries rather than asking for permission

Basically, the whole framework to be able to thrive in a poorly managed practice - if you CHOOSE to stay.

Or watch on Youtube:https://youtu.be/9NaYm3GZzJ4
* If you’re a leader, then check out the webinar on how to become a good veterinary leader (in collaboration with South Coast Veterinary Management Solutions) so your employees don’t need the framework in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIsbHhnXO-o.
In this episode I also present to you my BRAND NEW MEMBERSHIP The Thriving Vet Collective: The weekly coaching programme that makes it possible to enjoy the life you worked so hard to create.
Every Thursday you get an hour to bring whatever’s happening in your life, in and out of the veterinary clinic.

I’ll teach you how your brain works, why you feel what you feel, and what to do about it. You can get coached. You’ll watch others get coached.

And over time, the constant second-guessing and brain spin will quiet down; you’ll feel calmer, more confident in your decisions, and able to enjoy your life again.

Right now you can sign up at founder’s rate, locked in, as long as you’re a member. Founding member pricing is limited: the first 10 members join for $19/month and keep that price for as long as they stay. The next 10 join at $39/month. After that, membership is $59/month. Join here: https://gunilalifecoach.com/thriving-vet-collective

I am also starting up almost-monthly webinars; the first one is “Boundaries: The complete framework for veterinarians.” On Thursday the 8th October CEST/5pm UK/12 PM ET.

When the woman next to me in the airport asked what I do, and I said I’m a vet, she said, like so many people do:

“That must be such a difficult job, so much sadness when people have to put their pets to sleep”

And it just came out of me:

The sadness is going to happen anyway - I’m just there to help make it less hard

And that’s the thing about being in the veterinary profession.

We can’t cure them all (like the splenic mass I was 100% in on rushing to theatre last night, until chest x-rays showed a snowy night), but we can, and do, but only always, make it just that little bit less hard.

Less suffering. Less pain. Less confusion for the owners, less guilt.

Don’t forget this when your brain wants to beat you up for not achieving the perfect diagnosis, treatment, outcome.

The in between, the “what if”, the “maybe one day”, “I really should” - will s***f the light out of you.

Notice how easy we fall into feeling a little bit uncomfortable and disgruntled every day of our lives, as opposed to going through the discomfort of change for a brief period of time.

Whether that’s the discomfort of a physical change of finding a new job, or the inner work it takes to find worth and joy in what you’re doing right now.

Where do you find yourself in this moment? What’s stopping you from changing?
