Will you believe in yourself? Â Will you say your idea out loud?
When I started writing about non-clinical careers in vet med, it was an idea I kept quiet in my head for a LONG time. Â To be honest, I was so shy about the idea, about standing out or being a tall poppy that for a long time I just researched it, getting deep into articles about how to build a website and blog. Â Imagine if I had never done anything? Â I’d have missed out on a lot of cool things.
Why is change so hard to make happen?
I remember how “easy” it was for me to set my mind to applying o vet school. Â It was arduous, and hard to study that much, but I did it with relative ease. Â As one of the co-captains of my household, I want to re-distribute chores with my kids, and I’ll be honest, the task seems as hard as hiking the Himalayas in high heels.
As a mom, professional, and CEO, I’ve felt like I was on the edge of managing way too much many times.  Life can be overwhelming, and I know I’m not alone. At those times, I’ve made changes.  Big ones.Â
Changed jobs. Â Got help. Â Been blunt.
If this has ever been you, or if you’re at that breaking point where you feel stuck and unable to continue, Â riding a wobbly bicycle on the edge of “this is way too much”…. Stop your scroll. Â
Come back to me. Â
