Stress is an inevitable part of veterinary medicine, but understanding how our brains respond can transform the way we manage it. In this episode, Dr. Sonja Olson, a veterinary wellness coach, former emergency veterinarian, and certified neuroinformed and mindfulness coach, shares her expertise on neuro-informed stress management.
We explore what happens in the brain and nervous system during chronic stress, how neuro-resilience can be cultivated, and practical, science-based strategies to regulate the nervous system in real time. Sonja also discusses the role of social connection, environment, and daily practices in building long-term resilience, helping veterinary professionals thrive both personally and professionally.
This conversation offers evidence-based guidance and actionable tools for anyone in veterinary medicine looking to reduce stress, improve wellbeing, and foster a healthier, more sustainable career.
