"Had I Known...."

Brynn Zittle has created a role in veterinary medicine that fits her passion for filmmaking and storytelling.  Preparation and communication is key to her work - yet Brynn bravely shares with us how she believes that, if she had been better prepared, she may not have lost 2 people in her life to suicide. Suicide plagues the veterinary profession and, by listening to this episode, you can learn more about what is like to seemingly have it all yet feel in a dark place. Thank you Brynn for sharing your story because, as you put it, sharing can be therapy.

Om Podcasten

Vet Med After Hours podcast exists to inspire and empower veterinary support staff and professionals. Join us (a veterinarian practice owner and her client care specialist/clinic wellness coach) as we use candid conversations to give a voice to the people of vet med in a time when social media and the internet makes it hard for the public to see the person behind the medicine. We learn the stories that have built individuals into the compassionate, talented, strong team members that make this profession one that we love so much. Adversity, joy, tears, and success are experienced by each of us -you will find a bit of yourself in every episode. By knowing someone else shares your story, we hope that you feel empowered to inspire your teammates. We all share the ups and downs of this life and understand the roller coaster of the field - we will empower you to know it is okay to ask for help and to share your story as we normalize conversations about mental health and wellness. Our #vetyoumatter campaign will give you hope. Vet Med After Hours inspires, educates, makes you laugh, and starts conversations.
