    153: What’s Holding You Back? 3 Keys to Rewiring Your Brain for Calm, Confidence, and Clarity. With Dr Rod Irwin
    Jan 16 2026

    Ever feel like your anxiety or fear of failure is just... who you are?

    The perfectionism. The overthinking. The constant pressure to “get it right.”

    It can feel like it’s wired into your DNA.

    But what if it isn’t?

    Dr Rod Irwin, vet, former clinic owner and author tells us how who went from panic attacks in an empty vet clinic to a completely rewired life - thanks to neuroscience.

    After hitting breaking point, a chance encounter with neuroscience set him on a 15-year journey into neuroplasticity and positive psychology - and ultimately changed how he led.

    Together, we unpack how our brains are shaped by past experiences, why vets are particularly vulnerable to negative belief loops, and how we can deliberately rewire our thinking to reduce anxiety, improve performance and build healthier workplace cultures.

    We explore:

    • Why early experiences like bullying and perfectionism hardwire us for burnout
    • What neuroplasticity actually means, and why this isn't just “positive thinking”
    • How emotions strengthen or weaken your neural pathways
    • Dr Irwin’s first 3 practical steps to start rewiring your brain
    • Why your identity is the key to lasting change
    • How clinic leaders unconsciously set the emotional tone for the entire team
    • And how reconnecting to purpose and values can transform your culture

    This is a science-backed, practical conversation on mindset, leadership and wellbeing – tailored to the veterinary world.

    Because your brain isn’t broken.It’s just wired by experience - and you can change the wiring.

    152: Tech Tools 1: VetRec. With Kevin Cohen
    Dec 19 2025

    Welcome to episode one of our new Tech Tools series, where we cut through the noise to bring you real insights into the latest veterinary tech that could genuinely make your day‑to‑day vet life easier.

    In part one VetRec founder Kevin Cohen helps me put this AI scribe through its paces to show us why veterinary AI software is rapidly moving WAY beyond just note taking.


    Highlights :

    • What an AI scribe really is and how it saves vets hours of documentation time
    • Beyond scribing - new tools to speed up your workflow with increased reliability and context
    • VetRec’s clinical support tool: D.A.V.I.D. (Diagnostics Assistance for Veterinary Insights and Differentials)
    • Team workflows — how receptionists, nurses and vets can collaborate in the same platform


    This one involves a bit of screen sharing, so if you want to follow along - watch the video for this on Spotify.

    Note: This episode isn’t a promotion or an ad — it’s the first of many deep dives into the tools you might be considering. If you have a software that you’d like us to explore, let me know at info@thevetvault.com

    151: Why Do I Still Feel Like Such an Imposter? (This Is What Getting Better Feels Like). With Dr Marie Holowaychuck, Dr Kerry Nelson and Dr Rob Webster
    Dec 7 2025
    Am I a useless vet?Sounds like a silly question that a new grad might ask, right? But imposter syndrome doesn't care about your credentials. It whispers that you're a fraud, that you got lucky, that one day everyone will realise you don’t belong. Or maybe you don’t feel like an imposter - but you beat yourself up after a case goes wrong. You replay every missed diagnosis. You hold yourself to an impossible standard, and when you fall short (even slightly), the inner critic shows no mercy.Sound familiar?In veterinary medicine, where perfection often feels like the baseline and the emotional toll runs deep, these patterns can be exhausting.But here’s the truth: you’re not the only one who feels this way.In this raw and honest conversation, we unpack:Why imposter syndrome isn’t just a new grad thing - it can resurface anytime you step into something new, no matter how experienced or accomplished you are (Just keep listening if you don’t believe me)What confidence really looks like - not knowing everything, but being willing to try, learn, and growWhy perfectionism is often at the root of imposter - and what to do about itMaking peace with the inner-criticWhy vulnerability matters A simple mindset shift that can make all the differenceAnd practical strategies to manage imposter feelings You’ll hear real stories, mindset tools, and the reminder that feeling “useless” says nothing about you. If you’ve ever questioned your abilities or felt like you're just pretending to hold it all together - this episode is your mirror.You belong here. And it’s time you believed that too.Our guests are: Dr Marie Holowaychuck - a board-certified emergency and critical care veterinarian and the founder of Reviving Vet Med, a global initiative dedicated to equipping veterinary professionals with practical tools for mental health, resilience, and work–life balance, and the author of A Compassionate Calling: What It Really Means to be a Veterinarian.Check out her new book here. Dr Kerry Nelson: Experienced ER vet, mentor and former medical director. First time mom-to-be! (She has an epic blog about over-achieving - here.) Dr Rob Webster: Co-Chief Executive Officer of Animal Emergency Australia, the leading veterinary emergency-care group down under, where he oversees clinical standards and consults on complex emergency and critical-care cases. A board-certified specialist in emergency and critical care since 2014. Jiu-jitsu tragic.
