In this special end-of-year episode, host Dr. Megan Sprinkle is joined by returning guests Dr. Melanie Barham and Dr. Sonja Olson for an honest, grounding conversation about reflection, mindset, and what veterinary professionals can carry into 2025.

Rather than predictions or resolutions, this episode focuses on perspective—what felt hard this year, what quietly improved, and why small moments of reflection can change how we move forward. The conversation explores community, self-compassion, innovation, and the shared responsibility of shaping the future of veterinary medicine together.

This episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t require perfection, and that meaningful change often starts with listening, curiosity, and connection.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why pausing to reflect matters more than rushing into the next goal
• How community supports resilience and growth in veterinary medicine
• Why innovation starts with trying—not having all the answers
• The balance between hope and challenge in the profession today
• A mindset to carry into 2025 rooted in curiosity, courage, and compassion

In this episode of Vet Life Reimagined, Dr. Christie Long shares her nontraditional journey into veterinary medicine and how fresh perspectives are helping shape the future of the profession.

Christie began her career outside of vet med in software and business before making a bold pivot into veterinary medicine as a second career. Since then, she has practiced clinically, helped pioneer veterinary telehealth, worked within large organizations, and now serves in a leadership role at Modern Animal, where she focuses on building sustainable, high-quality veterinary care models that support both patients and veterinary teams.

This thoughtful conversation explores identity shifts, career pivots, innovation, and failure — and what it truly takes to build a profession that can evolve with the needs of veterinarians, clients, and animals alike.

In this episode of Vet Life Reimagined, Dr. Eve Hanks, BVM&S, CertAVP (EM), PhD, FRCVS, takes us inside the emerging world of microRNA diagnostics, a technology that could transform how veterinarians detect and manage disease across species.

Dr. Hanks’ journey is remarkable: from becoming a single mom at 19, to mixed animal practice, to discovering a passion for research, and ultimately founding MiRNA, a biotech company advancing early-detection diagnostics in animals.

Eve explains what microRNAs are, why they represent a major leap forward in precision medicine, and how this technology may allow veterinarians to identify chronic disease earlier and improve outcomes for both companion and production animals. She also shares honest insights about leadership, resilience, and what it really takes to build a mission-driven company from the ground up.

This conversation blends science, innovation, and career inspiration — a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of veterinary medicine.
