“Quiet quitting” has gone viral. This week we examine what “quiet quitting” really means, how it's actually been around for a long time (thank you, Gen Xers), and how you can learn from this workplace trend. In our 300th consecutive weekly episode (!), hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT discuss the latest Gen Z TikTok trend of “quiet quitting.” The pair explain how this applies to veterinary professionals, and why this may be a healthy movement. Dr. Ward reminds the Viewfinders that, “You are not defined by how many hours you work.” He shares why establishing healthy boundaries between work and personal life are essential for a long - and satisfying - career in veterinary medicine. (And he's been doing this for over 30 years.) Beckie examines the workplace pressures many veterinary professionals feel if they “take time for themselves” and how many clinics may be reinforcing toxic relationships with work by “texting you at 2 a.m. to ask about work" and then getting upset if you don't respond immediately. Someone needed to hear that... Viewfinders, thank you for allowing us to get to 300 podcasts! Back in 2016 when we started, we could not imagine how much we'd grow and how much fun we'd be having! Share this podcast with a colleague who needs to hear it and don't forget to head over to Apple Podcasts and give us a 5-star review so we can reach more veterinary professionals!

“We all, and I heard it from others in a group too, come with this expectation of what we think people are expecting us to be, which is really an inside out way of thinking about things, but it causes us to hold back in some of our areas of difference. And I think that our areas of difference are really what makes our team strong, when we can show up fully for each other in that way. So I think by being able to implement show up to work as my authentic self, it really invite others to do the same and that's when we are just really firing on all cylinders and doing our best work as a team.”Thanks for joining us on this episode of My Veterinary Life Podcast.

In sharing her path from burned out surgical resident to thriving house call concierge vet, Dr. Eve Harrison highlights a fundamental truth - veterinary medicine can truly be whatever you make of it. We talk a lot about the logistics of screening clients as she describes the strict boundaries around her practice culture, but in doing so, we are given an opportunity to see the real life effects of being in the driver seat of your own life and career. There's much to glean from this conversation, even if you aren't a mobile veterinarian. And for my equine colleagues, listen up  - we can definitely stand to take away a few pointers from this chat! ...About Dr. Eve Harrison   Dr. Eve Harrison is a seasoned, full-time concierge house call veterinarian in Los Angeles. She is one of only a tiny handful of pioneers practicing true veterinary concierge medicine. Her mobile practice has been through numerous seasons and iterations of itself, including being an acupuncture-only practice, a multi-doctor practice with an IHE-exclusive component, wellness only, and finally a solo integrative concierge practice.   Her passions are creative entrepreneurship, sustainability for veterinarians, boundaries, authentic communication and releasing people who are not a good match for our practices.    She is the founder of the online CE course: The House Call Vet Academy and offers coaching and consulting to help veterinarians nourish not only their patients, but themselves… by helping them cultivate profitable & sustainable mobile practices of their own.   Outside of being a vet, Eve is a semi-professional musician (flutist), & a yoga teacher.
