Thank you so much for this, going thru covid has pushed the limits, some good n bad. Being in Western Australia we've been lucky as we shut all of our borders so infection hasn't been that high. This podcast made me think n wish you were there when I first graduated. Thanks ladies n have a wonderful week! B

Hey Beverley,

I hear you about pushing past limits we thought we had. I've definitely been learning more about myself.

I know we weren't there in the beginning of your veterinary journey, but we are now. <3 We hope we can help!

Yvonne
