CIVT Podcast : Dr Alexia Tsakiris 

Our next podcast is live! This interview is with Dr Alexia Tsakiris who was a guest in Episode 8, which aired on April 11, 2020. Neal makes the following comment about this interview....."In the first podcast we covered Alexia's upbringing, veterinary education, work experience, and practice life. In addition to her clinical work, Alexia offers coaching services for veterinarians and is forming a Women's Veterinary Collective.

Today we talk about the events that led her to recognize that she was experiencing burnout, the strategies she used to get past those rough patches, and her philosophy behind coaching and offering a space for female veterinarians to have a community where they can gather, share, and support one another.

I'm a big believer in coaching and wellness support, so I'm happy to be able to share this conversation with Alexia with you."
