EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: THE SECRET OF SUCCESS SERIES Veterinarians, technicians, and other animal care professionals are widely known as highly empathic. Being able to understand the feelings of others helps us establish stronger connections with both colleagues and clients, which in turn increases compliance and improves medical outcomes. But empathy is a double-edged sword. How do you tap into that empathy, day after day, without getting an emotional overload? And what if you simply can't empathize, either because you can't relate to the situation or you disagree with it entirely? Today we’re welcoming back Amy VanDeWater of Glue Veterinary Coaching, who’s back to continue our emotional intelligence series. In this episode, we’re picking up with EQ skill number three: Social awareness. Listen in as Amy explains what social awareness is, describes why it's important in a veterinary setting, and offers advice for managing your own emotions that result from being aware of everyone else's. ✱ Got two minutes?

If you’ve tuned in to the evening news over the last few months, you’ve heard that xylazine has made its way into the U.S. illegal drug supply, causing horrific side effects and even deaths in humans… and putting xylazine in the spotlight for both state and federal legislators. Earlier this year, Ohio was one of the first states to make xylazine a Schedule III controlled drug. How has this affected the licit use of xylazine in veterinary medicine? On today's show, OVMA Executive Director Jack Advent joins us to explain. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit ⁠www.fullyvettedpodcast.com⁠. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode! ⁠Subscribe to email alerts »  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fully-vetted/message

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously claimed that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. In other words, our significant relationships have a great impact on—and can even be the determining factor—in our future success... or lack thereof. But how true is it? In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Jennifer Quammen and Ryan Smith of Veterinarian Coaching. They join us to discuss their take on Jim Rohn's theory, which involves intentional selection of five specific types of people, with the goal of maximizing your personal and professional success. As your life and career evolve, so too does your dream team. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit ⁠www.fullyvettedpodcast.com⁠. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode! ⁠Subscribe to email alerts »  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fully-vetted/message

Everyone knows the stereotype: "Dogcatchers" are portrayed in movies as evil villains that snatch up lost animals, drag them to the pound, and lock them away in a cold cage, never to be seen again. Sound familiar? Though not used as much nowadays, the old-fashioned term has had a lasting negative impact on the animal control profession and the public's perception of it. In this episode, we are joined again by Daniel Ettinger, the animal control supervisor for the Summit County Colorado Sheriff’s Office and host of the Animal Control Report podcast. He’s on a mission to change public perception about the notoriously misunderstood field of animal control. Listen in as Daniel gives us a sneak peek into the life of an animal control officer, dispels some of the harmful myths, and explains the realities of the job, both good and bad. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit ⁠www.fullyvettedpodcast.com⁠. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode! ⁠Subscribe to email alerts »  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fully-vetted/message

In today's high-demand society, stress and anxiety have become more common than ever. Unfortunately, it's much easier to get it than it is to relieve it—for both pets and people. Tackling anxiety and depression is often a trial-and-error situation. For some, finding the right treatment is easy. For others, it's a long, drawn-out process that involves trying many different medications and tinkering endlessly with dosages. But there's another option. For Dr. Alexia Tsakiris, the answer is to look at the entire patient and all their symptoms—not just their stress: Environment, diet, gut health, age, and all the other big and little variables that could be contributing to their symptoms. Using this information, she then customizes an approach using a combination of herbs best suited to that whole patient. This holistic approach has guided her practice over the course of her career, leading to improved outcomes for both animals and their people. In the second part of our herbal medicine series, Dr. Tsakiris is back to offer some tips to practitioners who are interested in offering herbal medicine in their conventional practice. Where can you and your staff find reputable training courses? What are the legalities you need to be aware of? Tune in for the answers to these questions and more! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit ⁠www.fullyvettedpodcast.com⁠. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode! ⁠Subscribe to email alerts »  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fully-vetted/message

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: THE SECRET OF SUCCESS SERIES As we learned on the last episode, everyone has voices in their heads that influence their day-to-day life—for the better and the worse. Once we become aware of those voices and can identify who is speaking at any given time, that's when we can begin to implement the secret formula of life... in other words, find success, happiness, and fulfillment! Today, we welcome back Amy VanDeWater of Glue Veterinary Coaching for the second installment in our series on emotional intelligence, a.k.a. our ability to be aware of and manage our emotions and the emotions of others. She believes EQ is a superpower that can have a massive impact on our lives, and the sooner we learn to wield that power, the sooner we can achieve our heroic quest to find happiness, success, and fulfillment. In this episode, Amy defines the second tenet of EQ: Self-management. Along with self-awareness, this is the cornerstone of the secret formula of life. Once we have achieved self-awareness, we can use the formula to begin reprogramming our brain's default responses and gradually improve our experience. With a little bit of work, this can be the key to fulfillment, both professionally and personally! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit ⁠www.fullyvettedpodcast.com⁠. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode! ⁠Subscribe to email alerts »  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fully-vetted/message

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: THE SECRET OF SUCCESS SERIES Anyone who tells you they know the secret to finding success and happiness is either trying to sell you something or flat-out wrong. Everyone knows there's no magical formula for anything, let alone something as nebulous as personal fulfillment. Or is there? Today, we welcome back Amy VanDeWater of Glue Veterinary Coaching for the first installment in our series on emotional intelligence, a.k.a. our ability to be aware of and manage our emotions and the emotions of others. She believes EQ is a superpower that can have a massive impact on our lives, and the sooner we learn to wield that power, the sooner we can achieve our heroic quest to find happiness, success, and fulfillment. In part one, we lay the groundwork for Amy's "Secret Formula of Life" by digging into the concept of emotional intelligence, focusing on the first pillar of self-awareness, and introduces us to the inner voices that, if left unchecked, can sabotage every facet of life. Most importantly, she explains how to identify these voices in order to improve our experience, both at home and at work.  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit ⁠www.fullyvettedpodcast.com⁠. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode! ⁠Subscribe to email alerts »  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fully-vetted/message

2023 MIDWEST VETERINARY CONFERENCE PREVIEW SERIES You know the phrase: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Synergy is more than a corporate buzzword; the concept is the foundation of holistic medicine, which aims to treat the entire animal, rather than just the symptoms. Under the umbrella of holistic medicine is homeopathy, a system of medicine that is based on the principle that “like cures like.” In this episode, Dr. Christina Chambreau joins us to introduce us to the possibilities of homeopathic medicine. The owner of Healthy Pets, People and Planet, Dr. Chambreau is a co-founder of the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy and a recognized authority on homeopathic veterinary medicine. Listen in as she introduces us to homeopathic medicine and gives us a sneak peek into her MVC sessions, which offer an alternative approach to treating both animals and the planet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit www.fullyvettedpodcast.com. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode!

2023 MIDWEST VETERINARY CONFERENCE PREVIEW SERIES Just because things have "always been done that way" doesn't mean they should be. After all, the veterinary profession has changed dramatically in the 21st century; so too should the veterinary professionals who work in it. Tradition has its place and might be a great starting point, but things must continually be evaluated in order for the profession to thrive. Enter the "modern veterinary professional." This is a person who looks at the way things are and says, “Something has to change, it has to be now, and it has to start with me.” No longer do you need to be stuck, broke, and frustrated in your career! There are ways you can take back control and ultimately gain more time, more money, and more impact—both in your professional and personal life. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Quammen and Ryan Smith of Veterinarian Coaching join us to explore the paradigm of the modern veterinary professional. They offer a sneak peek at their MVC 2023 sessions, during which they'll dive deep into their model of the modern veterinarian and how you can make simple changes that will have a huge impact on your overall success. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guests, please visit www.fullyvettedpodcast.com. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode!

2023 MIDWEST VETERINARY CONFERENCE PREVIEW SERIES Scientific advances have made modern veterinary treatments very effective, but let’s face it: They don’t always work. You and your team can be doing everything right, but the patient just doesn’t improve. What do you do when conventional options have run out? For Dr. Alexia Tsakiris, the answer is to get back to nature. Her approach is to integrate herbs—along with other therapies, such as acupuncture—into traditional treatments to improve not just the symptoms, but the entire patient. This holistic philosophy has guided her practice over the course of her career, leading to improved outcomes for both animals and their people. In this episode, Dr. Tsakiris joins us as we continue our 2023 Midwest Veterinary Conference Preview Series. She shares how she went from a 100% conventional practitioner to an integrative medicine vet and offers compelling reasons for giving it a try. She also gives listeners a sneak peek at her sessions at the MVC, which center around the use of herbs and how any small animal practitioner can begin integrating alternative therapies into their everyday practice. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For show notes, a transcript, and to learn more about today's guest, please visit www.fullyvettedpodcast.com. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ✱ Never miss an episode!
