Why self-awareness matters–now more than ever
(and why you deserve it) Whether you’re a pet parent, vet-med professional, personal growth junkie, burnout survivor, animal lover, or someone simply curious to understand yourself better—this book was written for you. You’re navigating a world that pulls your attention in a hundred directions. It’s easy to lose track of what you need, what you feel, or who you want to be, or to never be given the chance to figure that out in the first place. Self-awareness is the skill that helps you come back to yourself—and discover who you really are underneath the masks you wear. |

Self-awareness isn't just a concept
There's a lot of talk about self-awareness as a big-picture concept. But here’s the thing: No one talks about how you build this skill. What muscles and mental pathways you need to strengthen to actually make it yours. That’s where this book comes in. Advice like, “Chase what you want. Advocate for your needs. Set boundaries and goals. Learn to let go. Take care of yourself,” can be well intentioned--but what if you don’t know what you want? Or need? What boundaries are worth setting for you? What if focusing on yourself seems uncomfortable, selfish, unnecessary, or just too “fluffy”? Some of us need more details, and a bit of a nudge through a side-door entrance to get started. |

Self-awareness doesn't have to be so... complicated
Looking in the mirror—literal and figurative—can be tough for many reasons. This book makes self-examination feel less overwhelming and more enjoyable by using the lens of the animals we live and work with to help you look at yourself, and the people around you, like never before. Discover how to notice your patterns, reactions, blind spots, and opportunities—and how those insights can help you live with more intention, clarity, and compassion. Because when you show up better for yourself, you increase your ability and capacity to show up better for everyone else, too. And that's actually the not-so-secret ingredient to a "good quality" life that might seem like common knowledge, but is rarely common practice. |

What makes this book different?
|
This isn't your average self-help book. You won’t find a list of rules or instructions to follow or clichés about “being your best self,” because there's no one-size-fits-all prescription to personal and professional wellbeing.
As a veterinarian who’s spent decades observing both animals and humans in all kinds of emotional and physical states—and focusing on what we can actually do to help in those situations, I can tell you that animals navigate the same challenges and opportunities as us, sometimes far more successfully. Think of this book as part crash course in vet-med, part collection of stories, part practical field guide--designed with questions and prompts to make it all about you. |
