Thursday Dec 28, 2023

Thursday Dec 28, 2023

FOMO can lead to stress and to negative health outcomes – physically, emotionally and mentally.
Because... our brain interprets FOMO as a stressor!
So our sympathetic nervous system gets activated.
But what if there is actually no such thing as "missing out"?
What if we are only creating our own distress?!
In this week's episode, Dr. Amy discusses FOMO and how to free yourself from it for good!
Come find out how.

Why do so many of us believe that others have the ability to manipulate how we feel, think, and act?
In this week’s episode we take a look at:
What is emotional manipulation?
The different ways this can present.
Why it’s actually not something that is possible, at least without permission…
And how you can guide yourself in these situations and with these types of people.
Don’t miss this opportunity to help you set yourself free from any kind of emotional manipulation - no matter whether you are on the giving or the receiving end!

Have you ever experienced a moment where you almost felt... triggered?
Something happens, you see something, somebody says something... and before you even have a moment to really think about it, you already feel triggered.
If you want to be more present in your life, and you want to create a life of alignment and one in which you feel in control (and not as if life is just happening to you), then you need to understand what your nervous system is doing behind the scenes.
In this week's episode we'll be exploring your 3 main nervous system states, how to identify them, and how to consciously interrupt your programming to think, feel and act in ways that serve you and create the results that you want.
And it all starts with understanding your nervous system.
Your nervous system matters.
So start listening to it.

I want to show you how coaching changed my perspective, and why I believe that it is the way in which we can change the veterinary profession.
I want you to believe in yourself and in this work as much as I do.
I want you to have everything you've ever wanted, and more.

Thursday Nov 02, 2023

Last week we talked about the importance of having difficult conversations and why they are essential to the health of your relationships, as well as your own mental wellbeing and for driving change on a larger scale.
But even with a framework for having difficult conversations, we can still fall short if we do not do the work ahead of time!
Without proper preparation, we may find ourselves approaching these situations with a negative attitude, a hidden motive, or an unwillingness to seek understanding - which only creates further conflict!
By being introspective, and managing our mind ahead of time, we can prepare ourselves for these tough communication exchanges. When we approach difficult conversations with clarity and curiosity and compassion, we ultimately achieve better outcomes.
On this week's episode of Daring DVM, I will be building on last week's discussion by taking a look at the art of preparing for a difficult conversation and how to review the conversation after the fact.
I will walk you through a framework to get clear on your intentions, cultivate a solution-focused mindset, help you regulate yourself, and show up as somebody who can raise their concerns and initiate challenging discussions with precision, goodwill and compassion.

Dare to Dream

Dr. Amy Grimm is a veterinarian, certified life coach, anti-burnout advocate and founder of Daring DVM Coaching and host of the Daring DVM Podcast. She is on a mission to reshape mental health in the veterinary field by inspiring others and teaching them how to create a healthy mindset and become resilient AF. 

She has served in industry, public health, research, private practice, and was a Medical Director of a companion animal hospital for several years, before making the leap into entrepreneurship and coaching.

It was through her own struggles with burnout and life-work balance that Dr. Amy discovered coaching and realized the profound positive effects in her own life. Her own transformation inspired her to become a coach herself, so that she could help others who are struggling, just like she once was.

Today she coaches busy, burned-out professionals and helps them transform their lives and fall in love with their careers again. She also still does the doctory things she loves by providing HVHQSN and surgical relief services. Dr. Amy and her fiancé live in Grass Valley, CA. They enjoy everything outdoorsy, including backpacking, bike-packing, peak-bagging, running ultras, and racing on their tandem mountain bike. They share their home with their derpy Catahoula-Aussie-mix, Jake, and elderly entitled Pug, Berkels.

"I love who you are, and even more than that, I love who you are becoming.

Dare to dream."
