I had the honor of giving the keynote presentation at the Colorado State University Annual Conference for Veterinarians this weekend. I had such a good time engaging with attendees. I'm very encouraged by the response from the vet community. We know there's an opportunity to have more physically and emotionally resilient vet professionals and teams. It's the work I LOVE to do! My question to the Vetspan Collective community is, do you see yourself as a veterinary athlete? We know the physical and emotional demands are high in vet med. Do you spend time outside of work training for those demands?

A reminder: https://www.dvm360.com/view/reducing-physical-strain-in-veterinary-medicine Years ago I was a bike racer ("roadie") and our team motto was "make practice harder than the games". Our training rides were at a level of intensity that was harder than actual races. Once it came time to compete, we knew we were more than ready. Want a clinic day to feel less demanding and exhausting? Prepare accordingly. Free resources are in the community Classroom. You got this!

Whoa! I am coming back up for air after going deep into my YouTube vids over the years. In 2015 I founded a rehab and performance practice, MoveMend. In doing that I dove into YouTube and other platforms to share my expertise. I also shared what was NOT my expertise, which happened to be speaking on video! Talk about humble beginnings (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73GBZIdHQTs). Since that 2016 video I've done hundreds of YT videos, including for my coaching business and podcast Healthspan Digest, and more recently for Project Vetspan. I share this mostly because I'm both laughing at some of my old content as well as appreciating that we are all a work in progress. We learn, evolve, change, and generally bump along doing the best we can. I hope you take a few moments and appreciate the changes you've had in the past decade. There are more to come. This community, along with my Project Vetspan (https://projectvetspan.com/) coaching is all about making the best of today and evolving for tomorrow. If you want a resource to help you on your journey let me and the community know. We're all in this together. Onward! (image is from my 1st clinic buildout in 2015)

Do you have an interesting course or podcast coming up or one that you found helpful (in the personal wellness space) that you'd like to share? I just presented a webinar for VETgirl on micro-habits to improve physical and emotional resilience in vet med. This weekend I'll be presenting at the CSU Vet Conference on "The Veterinary Athlete: The Vetspan Blueprint for Career Durability". My podcast co-host @Jennifer Edwards has a presentation tonight, March 4, "Sustainable Wellness by Design" (register here: https://www.nhvma.com/page/Webinars). What do you recommend?
