Hi all, I am Paula. Vet since 1998 - with many iterations along the the way - mixed animal practice, acupuncture certified, developing & teaching tech school, locum, and now sole owner of multi dvm SA practice. 3 - 2 legged kids (14, 12, 9), non vet husband. We also have 5 cats, 5 dogs, 19 chickens, 10 sheep, 10 goats, and a Christmas tree farm (Grumpy Goat Acres if you care to google). Tired just typing it out! Luckily my husband is retired or this would be impossible instead of just overwhelming. I have been teetering on the edge of burnout for the last few years, without time to enjoy what I really love. Learning to say no and not fix everything for everybody is a work in progress atm. Fortunate to hear Aaron speak in Edmonton this year.
