Caffeinators, you'll want to tune in for this one! We first started talking with Erica Emmett over two years ago about being a guest on our show, and as always, life happens. We finally got to record this episode, and it was fascinating to hear the professional path she's taken in the two years since! She's started Fyr Consulting which focuses on individuals and team coaching for veterinary professionals. She's been in vet med over 25 years and she draws on her experience to make the teams she coaches even better! We're so glad it took us 2 extra years to connect because we got to learn about Fyr, which we wouldn't have previously. Sometimes things just work out!

Caffeinators, welcome back to Mental Health Awareness Month! We're continuing this mini-series with Julie Morse-Elliott, RVT, VTS(ECC). She's had a long career as an RVT and is now pursuing registration as a professional counselor to aid those working in veterinary medicine. She is also in the midst of starting a foundation with a goal to provide free counseling to those that need support after experiencing workplace related trauma, and will be heading up the veterinary division of the foundation.
This was a fascinating discussion to learn about the process and what the future may hold. Both of these episodes this month were great examples of RVT's finding a new passion later in their career, yet finding a way to make it fit under the veterinary umbrella and blaze a new path from which we will all benefit. These episodes are not to be missed!

Caffeinators, it's already May and if you've followed us for a while, you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we dedicate our May episodes to mental health issues in our profession. This year, we have two awesome episodes for you-each featuring an RVT, both from Canada, that are pivoting in their careers from clinical medicine to supporting veterinary workers in the area of Mental Health.
First up is Kathleen Dunbar, RVT, VTS(Clinical Practice-C/F). She has a Masters Degree in Social Work and is working to become a veterinary social worker, as she has worked in the mental health field for 25 years alongside her veterinary career. Her passion is death, grief, and end of life support and provides both individual and group support for pet parents and veterinary team members throughout the east coast of Canada. This was a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion you don't want to miss!

Caffeinators, pack your bags and fasten your seatbelts. We're going to where the water spins backwards. We're headed back to the Southern Hemisphere, specifically New Zealand! We met a wonderful Kiwi at IVECCS last year, Ashleigh Walsh, at the AVECCTN pinning ceremony. When we learned she was there from New Zealand we knew we had to have her on as a guest. It took until THIS WEEK to figure out the logistics as she's 19 hours and 16 hours ahead of Jeff and Dave, respectively. What an awesome conversation! We learned some things that blew our minds-did you know New Zealand doesn't have snakes? We talked so much about what it looks like to become an RVN in New Zealand, the fact that Ashleigh is the FIRST VTS(ECC) there, the profession and so much more. This episode is so much fun. Come for her accent, stay for her knowledge. We really enjoyed this one and we hope you do too!
