I get asked so many times if I’ve ever felt burnt out? And the answer is- Yes.

There are some days that completely destroy me mentally and physically. And then the following days just repeat, it can be so draining.

but I’ve come to realize that even on the hardest days the smallest of wins Matter, because they still Matter🐾🤍

Yes, my life has not been easy, but I have been so INCREDIBLY BLESSED with the people in my corner. They see me, they know me and they’re the reason I keep going. They’re the reason I can continue to reset and show up to work every day.

if you ever feel like you’re on the edge of burnout, take a step back and remember what grounds you. Find your inner circle that will keep you safe when the world around you makes you feel like you’re not🤍

I love what I do and I pray that I can do it for as long as I possibly can 🐾🤍🩺

I do miss esp the impactful moments but I haven’t been in the field for 3 years now. Idk if my heart can handle it anymore

I took a break from the treatment area. Worked reception the past month or so. Stepping back there..I feel so refreshed, and back brought back to reality. It can be a circus back there. Different struggle up as receptionist though haha

I’m definitely burnt out and idk what to do. Compassion fatigue is hitting and I hate that I just don’t have the patience anymore for anything. I have a 2 week vacation in 1.5 months and I’m hoping that helps… I’m just trying to make it till then

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable, powerful post. It’s hard to see those happy smiles and all to be grateful for on hard days! You are worthy and appreciated in the silence and I hope you feel celebrated and loved in the noise and chaos! 💜

It's so easy but it doesn't happen. All that's needed is good people, colleagues, management and clients. And if you want to be fancy owners with insurance.

My recent video I created was about this very topic. Thank you for being a voice for the future of vet med. We can’t sustain if people from the outside can’t see what’s happening on the inside. Thank you thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
