The Joyful DVM Podcast: Empowering Veterinary Professionals

In this episode Dr. Wise emphasizes the importance of recognizing that every person involved in veterinary medicine, whether they are professionals or clients, has their own personal lives and experiences that can impact their interactions.
She explains that it is easy to become offended or frustrated by the choices and behaviors of others, but it is crucial to remember that their actions are a reflection of their own emotional state and circumstances.
Dr. Wise suggests that instead of judging or becoming frustrated with clients' decisions, veterinary professionals should understand that everyone has their own challenges and focus on taking responsibility for their own wellbeing.
By not taking things personally and approaching interactions with intention, our days can become more enjoyable and fulfilling.
