Stop the Burnout Podcast

You can handle a crashing patient like it’s no big deal, but “Can I see you in my office?” has you convinced you’re about to lose your job and end up homeless on the side of the road with your pets.

Or a client questions your recommendation, and suddenly you’re overexplaining to prove you know what you’re doing. You crush a busy shift on Monday, then wonder why writing one record feels like climbing Mount Everest another day.

What the hell is going on?

In the final part of this neurodivergence series, we’re talking about why everyday interactions can feel so personal, why people can leave you completely drained, and why your capacity doesn’t look the same every day.

I’m sharing how these scenarios showed up in my own veterinary career, plus practical ways to ease the mental and emotional whiplash so you can do your job without feeling defeated and exhausted.

Whether you’re neurodivergent, neurotypical, or still figuring it out, you’re not going to want to miss this one!

Picture this: The phones are ringing off the hook, fluorescent lights are glaring overhead, someone’s trying to have a conversation with you while three other conversations are happening around you, and then add a barking dog to the mix. Why does every little thing seem to get on your last nerve so quickly?

In Part 2 of this series, I'm sharing more of the everyday frustrations I experienced in practice that I later realized were connected to my ADHD and autism, especially when it comes to sensory overload.

We'll talk about why certain sounds, smells, and environments can leave you feeling irritable, overstimulated, and completely exhausted, even when you can't pinpoint why (and yes, this can happen even if you're neurotypical!).

And more importantly, I'll share practical ways to recognize what's happening and reduce the mental and physical toll, whether you're neurodivergent or not.

You know those days in vet med when every little thing seems to drive you crazy, and by the end of the day, you're completely exhausted? You're not alone.

I'm sharing the everyday frustrations I (and many others) experienced that I later discovered were connected to my ADHD and autism and played a role in my burnout.

For over 40 years, I had no idea these seemingly normal struggles could be signs of neurodivergence.

From constant interruptions, last-minute schedule changes, mental overload, and the pressure to keep everything running smoothly.

Whether you've been diagnosed, never considered that you might be neurodivergent, or simply recognize yourself in these struggles, this episode will help you understand why certain parts of vet med can feel so exhausting and how to start working with your brain instead of against it.

We all know vet med is hard enough on a good day, but why does it seem like there are members of the profession who are making it harder for each other?

It can be tough to toe the line between wanting to stand up for yourself if you're being disrespected and then wondering if it will put a target on your back with others or your employer.

We're jumping into the reality of coworker and colleague conflict, including some stories from my own experiences, from rude comments and criticism to being undermined, misunderstood, or feeling like you're walking on eggshells around certain people.

Not only am I sharing how to tell the difference between something that is just irritating and something that needs to be addressed, but I’m also looking at how stress and burnout can shape the way we interpret those interactions.

You’ll have clear steps on how to decide when to speak up, when to step back, and when to stop giving someone else’s behavior so much of your energy.

You’ve spent years, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a ridiculous amount of blood, sweat, and tears getting here, so of course vet med can start to feel like your entire identity. And when you don’t know who you are without it, leaving can feel less like changing jobs or careers and more like an existential crisis.

This episode gets into the juicy details of how to tell if you’re truly done with vet med or if other factors are make leaving seem like the only viable option.

We’re getting into the specific and thought provoking questions you need to ask yourself before you make any changes, because “I need to get the hell out” and “I’m genuinely ready for something new” are not always the same thing.
