Happy World Veterinarian Day!

It’s great to be able to be exploring other things vets can do whilst still be able to enjoy this fab profession with wonderful women like these two 😍

Vet’s CAN do anything!! Even work as feminist warriors!!
💪
I haven’t had a chance to share my most recent career adventure- too busy deep in the learning pit of a new job!
🤓
But I’m currently exploring the field of health promotion - definitely a transferable career option for vets - we do this all the time we just use different jargon 😂😂

In this role though I’m specifically promoting women’s health and in particular how societal structures impact our health (including mental health)

I’m learning loads and can’t wait to share my learning with the vet community…when I have time!!

Watch this space…

Today is and it’s the perfect time for an update on what this vet is doing!
😀
Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Cream of The Crop event run by another amazing dairy vet.
🐮
Lucy put this event on for women in the dairy industry to raise their voices around gender equality and how they contribute to the growth of the dairy industry.
🎤
I’m currently working with our regional women’s health service to promote gender equality in our region and so it was great to join a group of like-minded and passionate women going places!
🤩
Let’s keep advocating for women’s voices to be heard in every room where the decisions are made!

Hello! I’ve been a bit quiet on this page…because I’ve been busy discovering another way vets can do anything!

I’ve leapt into a new space - Women’s health promotion! What’s that? We advocate for the systemic changes that ensure all women have the opportunity to thrive.

Today I am privileged to have been able to put my wellbeing hat on and contribute to Victoria’s first ever Health and Wellbeing Plan. Not only could I contribute the science behind what constitutes wellbeing, how to measure it but also how women’s needs may differ.

It was also great to bump into my fellow positive psychology student Kristina - together we are making progress towards change!

I’m humbled and grateful for this opportunity and hope it leads to great outcomes for all Victorians. Including the vets!!

This vet can do anything!!
🤩
Fresh from college week spruiking dairy cattle management in Taiwan to coastal Port Campbell to teach ‘zine making!!
Zoe is a legend in the dairy world and is currently exploring her creative side and focussing on her talents for drawing.
✍️
Of course, those of you who know Zoe would appreciate that things wouldn’t be that simple…because her other major strength is a love of learning she uses ‘zines to educate!
👩‍🏫
These little books of knowledge have helped many a South West cattle vet understand the details of complicated things - like immune cascades and calf microbiomes.
👏🏻
I can’t wait to see what happens next for this talented lady when she blends these superpowers together. If you are interested too then follow her creative beach art, cow snaps and hopefully zine art at HowNowDownCow.

PS I’m sure she will curse me posting this photo but we all love you for who you are Zoe, not what you look like 😘

Do you know what sparks light in you? Sometimes we need to actively make time to notice what it is that sparks our joy.

Absolutely! Have you found a way to slow down your vet career? I have and it’s helped so much!!

An idea worth considering today.

As we pass through different seasons our relationship to work can change.
It can be family, illness or retirement that impacts how we work and what we want to do.
