About Vetted In Vet Med

Welcome to the Vetted in Vet Med podcast, where we keep it all the way real about life as two African American female veterinarians - the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. We are here to spill the tea on what it's really like behind the exam room doors, and trust us, it is not all cute puppies and kittens. From the emotional highs of saving lives to the heartbreak of euthanasia, and even to the days when we question everything, we're bringing you unfiltered conversations about the highs and lows of this profession. We'll talk about the emotional toll, the mental health struggles, and the burnout that so many of us vets face. Whether it's dealing with difficult clients, the financial reality of vet school debt, life outside of work, or the pressure of making life-or-death decisions daily, we're laying it all out. But we're not just here to vent -- we're also here to uplift, encourage, and educate. Whether you're deep in the trenches of vet med or dreaming of joining the profession, this podcast is your safe space to learn, laugh, and feel seen. We want to uplift, inspire, and remind you that you're not alone in this journey. We will take a dive into self-care, mental health resources, and practical life skills to help you navigate this career without losing yourself in the process. So grab your coffee, wine or whatever your drink of choice, and tune in and join the conversation. Because in this profession, we need to support each other, and that starts with honest, open dialogue.
