Is it impossible for veterinarians to aim for more balance? The Whole Veterinarian podcast helps to share experiences and start a dialogue about how we can grow as people and professionals. As a female equine solo practitioner, mother and business owner, I've seen the challenges that face us. I want veterinarians to learn to be happier, healthier, wealthier and more grateful for the lives that they've created. Together, let’s learn how to develop a life we love.

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast!
I love this podcast. I am not a veterinarian but heard about this podcast from my vet. I find that no matter what business you are in you will find valuable information in these shows that applies.
Dr. Cordivano has a calming, soothing voice and interview style that I love listening to. Highly recommend!
The whole vet covers the whole person on many levels
I love this podcast. Binge listened to all of the episodes while driving between farm calls. She has such interesting guests on and the conversations are great. Really looking to cover the whole human side along with being a veterinarian. Calf vet here and so many of these episodes hit the nail perfectly. I look forward to hearing the next episodes and I now share this podcast with any individual in the vet med world to guide and help them. Keep the awesome episodes coming!!!
Fantastic topics and host!
I like to think of The Whole Veterinarian as a podcast that addresses vets as “whole” people. We all know that we are more than just our careers, but our daily lives don’t always reflect that. Stacey’s interviews and topic-based episodes help to give us a broader perspective.
