#179 Leaving Your Mistakes Behind

The Joyful DVM Podcast: Empowering Veterinary Professionals

In this episode, Dr. Cari Wise explores the topic of mistakes and how they can hinder our progress if we don't learn to release them.

Dr. Wise explains that mistakes should not define us or restrict our potential for the future. Instead, they should be viewed as opportunities for growth and learning.

She emphasizes the importance of forgiving ourselves for being human and not carrying our mistakes from one experience to another.

Dr. Wise challenges the concept of imposter syndrome and encourages listeners to leave their mistakes in the past and not allow them to define their identities or limit their potential.

She discusses the negative effects of carrying the weight of mistakes and urges listeners to let go of the shame and regret associated with mistakes while also suggesting listeners replace the word "mistake" with "lesson" to foster a culture of compassion and support for ourselves and others.
