In this episode of Whittington Waymakers, Kylie sits down with Dr. Anne Katherine for a real, honest conversation about the tightrope walk we call work–life balance in veterinary medicine. From the emotional weight we carry to the long days, missed lunches, and constant pressure to “push through,” nothing is off the table.
Together, they dig into what balance actually looks like in this field not the Pinterest-perfect version, but the lived reality of seasons, boundaries, faith, exhaustion, joy, and the grounding moments that keep us steady. Dr. Anne Katherine opens up about her own journey, how she’s learned to protect her mental health, and the small daily habits that help her stay centered in a career that can be both beautiful and brutally demanding.
This episode is for every vet, tech, assistant, receptionist, and animal lover who’s ever felt pulled in every direction. Come pull up a chair, take a deep breath, and let’s talk about finding wholeness, purpose, and peace in the work we love.
