Podcasts about fear free

If you're a pet parent, you've doubtlessly had at least one stressful experience bringing your pet to the vet. However, we can all agree that regular vet visits are critical to maintaining your pet's health. So, what's the solution?One of the biggest themes I observed at WVC2025 was the reimagining of veterinary clinics and care models to create spaces that more comfortable for both pets and their parents. This transformation extends beyond architecture and interior design. Did you know KONG is now helping transform the veterinary experience? I had a chance to talk to Dr. Danielle Graziano, Head Veterinarian at KONG, about how they've launched new clinic kits designed by veterinarians to support fear-free handling and cooperative care.This is an ingenious adaptation of the brand's trusted pet products to turn the exam room into a more positive experience, providing vets with practical tools to reduce patient stress.In this interview, we explore:- How their spinning lick mats and specialized toys create positive distractions during exams and procedures- Solutions for both cats and dogs that respect their emotional wellbeing- How these tools integrate into clinics without requiring complete renovationsAs pet parents, we all know the anxiety our furry friends can experience at the vet. My dog, Peony, loves her Fear-Free certified vet but still gets nervous in exam rooms. KONG's approach addresses this common challenge with practical solutions.I'm excited to see more and more companies and clinics give thoughtful consideration to animals' emotional wellbeing. Kudos to Dr. Graziano and KONG!

"We have to stop the endless cycle. Everyone loves kittens, but the goal should be to make sure they were never born into suffering in the first place." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In this episode of The Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron welcomes Robin Post, an experienced Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and the 2023 recipient of the Linda Markland Outstanding RVT of the Year Award.

She dives into the challenges of managing feral cat populations, the necessity of spaying mother cats to prevent the endless cycle of unwanted kittens, and how her clinic is implementing Fear Free practices to minimize stress for cats undergoing surgery. Stacy and Robin also discuss the ongoing veterinarian and technician shortages, the increasing demand for TNR services, and the role technology—such as tracking devices and colony management tools—plays in improving feline welfare. Whether you're a seasoned TNR advocate or new to community cat care, this episode offers invaluable guidance on spay/neuter best practices, post-surgery recovery, and the evolving landscape of feline rescue efforts.

“Vi behöver erbjuda oss att finnas där och prata om det här, vrida och vända på saker!” Så säger Fear Free-certifierade veterinären Cecilia Palmers som är Milenes gäst idag.I avsnittet utforskas veterinärens viktiga roll som coach och stöd för dig som hundägare när du står inför olika beslut.

Hur avgörande själva beslutsprocessen är diskuteras också, från tanke till handling, samt den ofta ofrånkomliga känslan av skuld i vissa situationer och påminner om att det inte är fel att känna så.CITAT“Titta in i hundmunnen och tänk dig att det var din mun” (6:51)“Det viktigaste är att ni hittar en trevlig rutin tillsammans som är en höjdpunkt på dagen” (7:19)“Vi behöver ju skydda hundens livskvalitet men ägarens livskvalitet är ju också en grej” (12:05)“Det är ok att säga stopp och nej” (21:41)För mer inspo och potentiellt livräddande kunskap se föreläsningen FÖRSTA HJÄLPEN FÖR HUND med fear free leg vet Cecilia Palmers i Braver Dogs Målcirkel!

https://zencryardebrucke.com https://soundcloud.com/zeninamoment https://www.linkedin.com/in/zen-cryar-debrucke-07045166 https://www.youtube.com/@ZenCryarDeBrucke Zen Cryar DeBrucke is the founder of Smart Soul Academy, which makes accessible globally her seminal work on the Internal Guidance System® (IGS) that has made her an international sensation. A member of the illustrious Transformational Leadership Council created by Jack Canfield, uniting many of the world's top personal growth luminaries, Zen has worked with over 40,000 people, including training 4,000 master students, on the nuances of how recognize and act on the messages of their IGS to achieve a peak life in alignment with their life purpose. An internationally renowned inspirational teacher, speaker, author and executive coach, Zen's passion is teaching people to tap into their innate inner guidance to generate consistent, successful results in life. The result is replacing exhaustion, anxiety, fear and dread with ease, joy, flow and fulfillment. Zen's programs have helped thousands of people all over the world transform their lives for the better, with sustained positive changes in their business and personal lives. Her compassion radiates through her work, and her style is down to earth, practical, humorous and wise. Zen's international bestselling book, Your Inner GPS is an easy-to-read how-to on the way to let this inner wisdom guide you to success, and the Smart Soul Academy provides a deeper easily-accessible online guide to mastering this art. The key to Zen's success arrived when she decoded her own Internal Guidance System® and learned that everyone was born with a factory installed Inner GPS. In the beginning, she used it fuel her own success, as founder and CEO of one of the first Internet design companies in the world. The company grew exponentially, and worked with Fortune 500 companies, including Applied Materials, IBM, Electronic Arts, BP and VISA. After that firm dissolved in the dot-com collapse, she found herself filling the request of many of her fellow entrepreneurs and executives to advise them on how she was seemingly emotionally untouched by the rollercoaster they were experiencing. It was the springboard for her to become a full-time executive coach and IGS guide. She has since coached thousands of business leaders to use their IGS for success in every area of their lives. Zen's rise to fame and success capped a life that began in an abusive dysfunctional home, saw her experience sexual abuse at the hands of someone outside her family, forced her to seek emancipation at 16 years old, dropped out of high school and then struggled to make a living until she discovered her IGS. She went on to earn a degree in Global Politics with Mandarin Chinese and Minor in Art History from U.C. Davis, before stepping into the rise of the San Francisco, CA, digital companies in the mid 1990s and became CEO and a founding member of The Netkitchen one of the first usability and internet design firms in the world. Zen is a breast cancer survivor and busy home schooling mom, in additional to her Academy work.

Dr. Carol Reinero, an expert in respiratory diseases in small animals, discusses the rising popularity and associated problems of brachycephalic (shortnosed) dog breeds such as French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, and Pugs. She explains how their physical traits lead to a variety of health problems, particularly respiratory issues known as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and aerodigestive disorders. The discussion delves into how even though specific symptoms associated with brachycelpahlic breeds (including exercise intolerance, loud breathing, coughing after eating, excessive burping, flatulence, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea) are often considered “normal," these have serious long-term health implications and negatively impact a dog's quality of life. In addition, due to their compromised respiratory systems, these dogs are also increasingly susceptible to infections and severe manifestations of diseases like canine influenza. To combat these serious concerns, Dr. Reinero emphasizes the critical role of veterinary professionals in managing the complex health needs of brachycephalic dogs. By adopting Gentle Control techniques, implementing effective obesity management strategies, educating pet owners, and tailoring vaccination protocols to include low-volume preventive vaccines, veterinary professionals can significantly enhance the well-being of these beloved breeds. Additionally, the discussion delves into specifics of creating a positive and Fear Free veterinary experience that fosters better compliance with health recommendations and strengthens the human-animal bond. This episode is brought to you by our friends at Elanco.

Around two million people in the United states will be diagnosed this year with cancer. Taken together, each one of these individual life-changing diagnoses forms a part of an overall cancer care industrial complex which adds to up to an annual $75 billion sector of the national economy. And, like every other business heading into the second quarter of the 21st Century, cancer treatment is changing and advancing with the implementation of technology that includes AI.  In Baton Rouge, very few people are more familiar with the current state of cancer care than Sotirios Stathakis, Chief of Physics at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, and a radiation oncology physicist with more than two decades of experience in this highly technical field. Sotirios came to Mary Bird in 2023, and in his role there oversees the cancer center's physics and dosimetry teams. He also is involved in implementing new AI technology at Mary Bird to help improve internal processes, with the goal of improving both outcomes and the patient experience. Sotirios is a native of Greece who was educated in Canada and Scotland before returning to Greece to obtain his PhD in medical physics. Prior to his current perch in Baton Rouge, he served in a similar role at the University of Texas Health San Antonio Mays Cancer Center, an NCI-designated cancer center .   While cancer care is one of the fastest growing segments of our healthcare economy, another rapidly expanding field is pet care, which is growing by 7% a year. In cold hard cash, over the past 12 months Americans spent even more on pet care than cancer care: a whopping $80 Billion. According to numerous studies, we love our pets to the point where we'll sacrifice all sorts of other discretionary expenses to lavish our furry friends with whatever they need to be their best selves. Locally, Lauren Swartley is a hands-on expert on the subject of pet care. Lauren is the founder and owner of Lend A Paw, a premium dog walking and pet sitting company that is bonded and Insured through Pet Sitter Associates, and Pet CPR & First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross.  Lend A Paw is also the first and only Fear Free certified pet sitting company in Louisiana. Lend a Paw provides in-home one-on-one care for pets, with specially curated visits and software, so you're able to view your pets in real time.  Lauren founded the business in 2018, after she adopted a heartworm positive Staffordshire terrier named Hayes and fell in love with him and the cause. Despite advances in medical science and the onward drumbeat of AI, for reasons we probably don't totally understand, lavishing love on our pets reportedly improves our opwn health. In this win-win world Sitorios and Lauren have more in common than you might think at first glance. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Mansurs On the Boulevard.

Fear is often a shadow—looming large, yet without true substance. In our sermon series, "Shadow Warriors," we confront the fears that hold us back: fear of rejection, failure, and the opinions of others. Through practical, biblical teaching, we'll uncover the strategies to face these fears head-on and walk in the confidence and peace that God provides. Join us as we learn to overcome the shadows of fear and step into the light of God's truth.
