In this episode, Dr. Cari Wise discusses the concept of identity and its relevance to veterinary professionals. She notes that many individuals in the veterinary field tend to primarily identify themselves by their credentials and occupational labels, which can result in a disconnection from other aspects of their lives.

Dr. Wise shares that this disconnection is often a consequence of the sacrifices made during the academic journey to become a veterinary professional, and emphasizes the importance of creating balance within one's life and exploring interests, values, and how one wants to spend their time.

True balance and alignment come from understanding oneself and what matters most. Dr. Wise encourages veterinary professionals to change their perspective on their veterinary experience and prioritize their own wellbeing and fulfillment.

Dr. Wise recommends looking into human design as a tool to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and rediscover aspects that may have been set aside.
