The Weight of Responsibility (and the Longing for Ease)

🎙️ Episode 2: The Weight of Responsibility (and the Longing for Ease) with Elliot Goodwin, Practice Owner In this raw and honest coaching conversation, I speak with Elliot Goodwin — a veterinary surgeon, business owner, father of two, podcast host, and (as you’ll hear) someone who carries a lot on his shoulders. Elliot opened his Vets4Pets practice at just 25, and has run a 7-day service ever since — and that’s just one piece of the puzzle. We explore themes like: ➡️ The mental load of always being the one who holds everything together ➡️ How over-functioning can become a coping mechanism — and eventually a trap ➡️ The power of naming what’s unspoken, and what can shift when you do ➡️ Choosing a new compass: what if “easy” could be your guide? This session is less about tidy answers and more about revealing patterns — the ones we repeat because they’ve served us… and the ones we might be ready to outgrow. 💡 As you listen, you’ll hear my coaching commentary layered throughout the session, giving you insight into how I’m guiding the conversation and why I ask the questions I do. ⏱️ The intro runs to about 4 minutes, so if you’re keen to get straight to the session, feel free to skip ahead. That said, I’d really encourage you to listen — the intro offers important context for the episode and for the wider purpose of this podcast. Whether you’re a leader, a practice owner, or someone just trying to keep all the plates spinning — this episode is an invitation to look at your relationship with pressure, responsibility, and the stories you carry about what it means to lead well. 🎧 Mentioned in this episode:  Elliot’s podcast: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5qLj6J0T00T0FzuyhwFmiH?si=b59ddb248a524100">The Vet With Pets</a> My leadership scorecard: <a href="https://rachael-bqchoktp.scoreapp.com/">How Sustainable Is Your Leadership Style?</a> Free webinar replay: <a href="https://www.simplyveterinarycoaching.com/webinar-invisible-load-of-leadership">The Invisible Load of Leadership</a> Book a Leadership Reset Call: <a href="https://calendly.com/rachael_simplyveterinarycoaching/speak-to-rachael">Schedule here</a> 🫶 Enjoying the podcast?

One Foot in the Clinic, One in the Dream

🎧 Episode Title: One Foot in the Clinic, One in the Dream 🟡 Guest: Laura Mairesse, vet, conservationist, podcast host, and passionate advocate for animal welfare and sustainable ecotourism. Description: In this first episode of Lead Without Losing Yourself, you're invited into a raw and real coaching conversation with Laura — a vet and visionary who finds herself pulled between the safety of her clinical work and the call of something more. This isn’t an interview. It’s an unscripted, unpolished, real-time coaching session that explores what it means to honour your energy, identity, and purpose in the thick of modern veterinary life. We explore: 🟢 What happens when your passion outpaces your capacity 🟢 The quiet toll of holding it all together 🟢 The tension between meaningful work and the need to earn a living 🟢 How to reconcile two powerful (but seemingly opposing) parts of yourself Toward the end of the session, you’ll hear an NLP-based coaching intervention that helps Laura integrate these parts and access a new, more compassionate perspective. 🎙️ Laura is also the host of her own podcast, Vet Vibes — be sure to check it out! Laura’s post-session reflection: After listening back, Laura said she felt deeply moved and finally understood what her body had been trying to tell her: that burnout was closer than she’d realised. This session helped her reconnect with self-compassion and recognise the importance of slowing down to truly lead herself first. Want to be coached on the podcast?
