VET LIFE ACADEMY Is For You If...
You're a veterinary professional fed up with your emotions swinging wildly with the events of each day, and you're tired of being mentally and physically exhausted and disengaged from the rest of your life. You're ready to take your life back, decrease your stress, and create work-life balance... and you're determined to make it happen.
Whether You're
- feeling burned out after years on the job, just trying to survive until you can retire, discouraged by how much personal sacrifice this job requires, and desperate to find a better way to live your life.
- totally overwhelmed in your role, feeling the effects of Imposter Syndrome, spending time off worrying about cases and dreading going back to work, and pretty sure pursuing a veterinary career was the worst.decision.ever. but feeling stuck.
- making it through, but no longer experiencing the fulfillment the job once brought you, dreaming about having the time to pursue other interests and hobbies but feeling discouraged because there never seems to be enough time and it's nearly impossible to leave work at work.
Thank You Cari. This is what I need so much. You're Awesome. I attend Vets4Vets support and I try to share Joyful DVM with everyone. Sometimes it is hard for me to listen to complaints / self berating- wishing they had tools. I have hope because of your program. Thanks you so much. You walk the walk with us!

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE IN THE VET LIFE ACADEMY REBOOT COURSE:
Think Stress Management, Work-Life Balance Creation, Personal Development, and Well-Being Expansion... on steroids.

Veterinary professionals are Smart Humans...
But, despite our extensive academic achievement, many of us experience poor quality of life, career regret, and a deep belief that what is possible for us in the future has been compromised by our decision to pursue a veterinary career.
Many of us suffer from relentless anxiety and stress, imposter syndrome, compassion fatigue, Sunday blues... this becomes our way of life. We become bitter, jaded and resentful. We cope using things like food, alcohol, shopping, television, social media, and personal isolation.
We conclude pursuing a career in vet med was the worst. decision. ever.
Here's the good news: you have the power to fix this for yourself.
You are actually the only one who can.

Here's the good news: you have the power to fix this for yourself.
You are actually the only one who can.
In the Vet Life Academy REBOOT COURSE and I'll how you how.
Powerful Resources all students receive include:
TREATMENT PLAN PRESENTATION STRATEGY
Nobody likes talking about money...
But, navigating these conversations is a skill you can learn so these conversations can take part with less dread, and more ease.
In the Treatment Plan Presentation Strategy resource, I show you how to set the stage for this conversation from the moment you walk through the exam room door.
Not only will this strategy help you to practice great medicine and communicate effectively, it will also help you release the responsibility you might feel over a client's decision.
HIGH VALUE CONVERSATION STARTER WORKBOOK
Do you want to ask for a raise or negotiate a schedule change but you're not sure how to ask?
Have you identified a problem within the workplace, but you're not sure how to discuss it with leadership?
Are you having a hard time interacting with a particular co-worker, but you're not sure how to approach a conversation to resolve the issue?
I walk you through the entire process for scheduling, preparing for and executing these often-dreaded conversations so you can communicate confidently!
BOUNDARIES SCRIPTS
Setting and maintaining boundaries is a critical for your wellbeing...
But, most of us do it totally wrong.
In this Boundaries Scripts resource, I provide word-by-word scripts that you can use to set boundaries the right way in the most commonly encountered situations.
You'll also learn to use my Setting Boundaries Blueprint to create effective boundaries in any situation.
The Empowered & Aligned You Is...
- Courageously making decisions that are best for YOU
- Creating a balanced life you love
- Confidently believing in yourself, above all else
- Emotionally strong and not at the effect of your surroundings
- Not constantly freaking out about money
- Enjoying your time off
- More than just your job
- No longer constantly worrying about being fired or getting sued
- Energized by your work environment
- Enjoying the opportunity to serve humans and treat animals
- Knows WHO YOU ARE and what you want for your life
- Looking forward to the future
WHY RIGHT NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO JOIN VET LIFE ACADEMY...
Knowing how to do your job, doesn't protect you from the personal impact of the job.
When that impact goes unrecognized and uncontrolled it creates outcomes we never would have chosen for ourselves.
Left unchecked, it creates a dismal experience that we accept as truth.
Our lives shrink.
Our futures fade.
Our hope disappears.
When we LEVERAGE THE SPACE we take it all back!
No More regret over our career choice.
No More feeling trapped by our student loans.
No More being at the mercy of clients and coworkers.
No More living on the sidelines of your own life.
No More emotional rollercoaster.
You get ONE LIFE.
You are INTENTIONAL.
You are VALUABLE.
You are NEEDED.
You are WORTHY.
You are CAPABLE.
You are ACCEPTED.
You are LOVED.
Human emotion creates our experience in any situation... but we have the power to control it, and protect it, at all times.
You weren't born with this skill, but you can develop it.
Your emotional wellbeing and your future that depend on it.
It's NEVER too late to start creating a new life experience for ourselves.
Let's Go!

VLA has provided me with real insight into how my mind works, and where my emotions come from, and even what my emotions are! Just having this awareness of my thoughts, emotions, and how I act on them has been incredibly helpful for me in dealing with difficult everyday situations. But there has also been a lot of power in realizing that I can choose to change things and be in charge of my thoughts and emotions, so that I'm not just at the mercy of what is happening around me. Sometimes I work on VLA material several hours a week and sometimes it's just a few minutes but it's all made a huge difference in reducing my anxiety levels around stressful situations, and helping me process things. And it's also just fascinating to learn how my mind works!

I wanted to let you know that your advice and teachings have improved 200% my life at work and at home. I asked you a question about my tech that wasn't being efficient and was very frustrating to me. You said that I needed to coach her instead of being mad at her. In a nutshell it wasn't the answer I wanted to hear but it was the answer I needed. I took a deep breath and asked her what to do and when she didn't do it I sat with her and showed her how to do it. Turns out that she didn't know how to do it in the first place. She didn't remember that she was shown that a million times by my other staff. Sigh. I told her I was going to show her very patiently and she responded well to that. More than the anger and corrections. Figure that. Pretty common sense but I was getting stuck in my angry feelings instead of coaching her. I'm working daily to control the way I feel and how I act when presented a circumstance. It has helped me deal with my staff, my difficult practice manager, and even my husband.
Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and what you're offering. I know it's a lot of work and a lot of time you invest weekly into Vet Life Academy.

VLA has been a tremendous help to me learning to love Vet Med again! After over 2 decades in the profession, I put notice in at my toxic job and was strongly considering leaving Vet Med completely even though I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I had left bad jobs before, but I never had considered leaving the profession until this point. Things were BAD! Clients sense of entitlement, social media, imposter syndrome, and a bad work environment had me in a downward spiral. I decided to take a month or so off to regroup before starting a new job. During this time I wanted to find a therapist to specifically help me with my work issues, but past experiences had always left me frustrated because they never could truly relate to the type of situations we experience daily in our profession. I ended up seeing an ad for Joyful DVM masterclass. I had nothing to lose, so I listened. I could not believe how much it spoke to me. Finally! Someone who could relate to EXACTLY what I was going through and had advice that was actually relevant to my situation. I decided to join VLA, and it has been absolutely worth it. I figured that the investment in the course was the money I would have otherwise spent on a therapist, and there is no way they could have given me the same insight as this course specifically for vet med. With the live sessions, it's a lot more than just something that you can listen to. There is also content to help you with other areas of your life. The information has been invaluable and has completely changed the way I think about a lot of (previously) stressful situations at my new job. It has allowed me to get back to practicing medicine with less stress and a better outlook than I have had in a long time. Thanks VLA!
Jen, DVM
Jen, DVM
I have found, more generally, that the advice you give about me not being responsible for every outcome is the most game changing thing anyone has ever said to me. To realise that I don't control what the client does with the information I give them, that my job is to give the best advice, but then the client decides, has helped me enormously. I've been practicing for 15 years and I've hated being a vet all that time, I move jobs every year or so and could absolutely relate to what you were saying about this. You have given me some hope that things need not stay awful, so thank you so much.
