Ep. 96 | The Story No One Is Telling: What a Team USA Bobsledder’s Brain Injury Reveals About Depression and Mental Health09 Feb 202601:18:39

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

This episode started as a conversation about an elite sport — but it quickly became something much bigger.

Former Team USA bobsledder Will Person shares what happened years after repeated head trauma left him battling confusion, depression, memory loss, and suicidal thoughts — long after his athletic career ended.

His story highlights a critical gap in how we understand mental health: many people struggling with depression, personality changes, or cognitive decline may be living with untreated brain injury — without knowing it.

With the Winter Olympics underway, this conversation offers an important behind-the-scenes look at what high-impact sports demand of the brain — and why athletes are often taught to push through symptoms that appear “minor” at the time.

In veterinary medicine and other caregiving professions, mental health struggles are often framed as emotional or psychological problems alone.

This episode invites a deeper question: What happens when physical brain injury, chronic stress, inflammation, or nervous system overload are part of the picture — but never evaluated?

In this episode, we explore:

  • How repeated sub-concussive impacts can affect the brain years later
  • Why CTE and brain injuries are often misdiagnosed or overlooked
  • The hidden mental health toll of elite sports — and other head trauma that may be dismissed or forgotten
  • Why “rest and return to play” is often not enough for concussions
  • How hyperbaric oxygen therapy helped restore clarity, energy, and hope — and what this could mean for future brain-based mental health care

If you know someone who has experienced a concussion, head injury, or unexplained mental health changes — especially years later — please share this episode to help raise awareness.

Ep. 85 | Overwhelmed by the State of the World? How to Harness Your Stress Strategically26 Jun 202500:24:36

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

In this episode, Dr. Amelia explores how to navigate the overwhelming state of the world without burning out. She explains that the discomfort we’re feeling—stress, frustration, heartbreak—isn’t the problem. It’s a normal, human response to a world that’s out of alignment.

The real issue is how we’ve been taught to react to that discomfort.

Dr. Amelia breaks down common nervous system stress responses—flight, fight, and freeze—and how to work with them instead of against them. You’ll learn how to harness your stress strategically so it fuels aligned, meaningful action (instead of exhaustion or shutdown).

By recognizing your patterns and supporting your nervous system, you can turn this chaotic time into a turning point—one that reconnects you to what really matters.

Note: The message in this episode is not intended for those who are currently facing direct threats to their safety, rights, or well-being—for example, individuals fearing deportation, navigating systemic discrimination, or experiencing the impacts of harmful policy changes firsthand.

This message is for those of us who are feeling the weight of the world—angry, heartbroken, overwhelmed by the injustice we see—but who also hold some level of privilege, safety, or stability. If you're someone who wants to show up more intentionally without burning out, this is for you.

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

In this episode of Life Boost with Amelia, Dr. Amelia introduces a new podcast format—a real-life behind-the-scenes coaching session.

Listen in as she helps Sasha*, an entrepreneur and mom, navigate the challenge of turning off work mode so she can be present with her family and recharge—instead of continuing to work late into the evening.

Using her holistic background and unique blend of coaching styles, Dr. Amelia demonstrates how quickly change can happen through a strategic conversation that combines neuroscience, somatic work, self-compassion, and experimenting to find what resonates best with her unique client.

✔ Experience a real coaching session and see how quickly the brain can rewire.
✔ Notice how listening to someone else being coached on something you relate to (like being stuck in the flight stress response and feeling like there's always too much to do) can create a shift in your own life.

✨ Tired of feeling stuck in work mode? Tune in and take the first step toward rewiring stress patterns and creating the balance you deserve.

In this episode, Dr. Amelia discusses an exciting new approach to senior dog care with guest Dr. Lisa Lippman. They introduce the senior dog veterinary society and a new senior dog veterinary certification co-founded by Dr. Lippman, Dr. Monica Tarantino, and Dr. Lauren Adelman. This episode dives into the power of adopting this certification, emphasizing its positive impact on the well-being of the entire veterinary ecosystem: pets, pet parents, and veterinary professionals. They dive into how this new proactive approach can help to decrease stress, overwhelm, and frustration that can come with senior pet care in a holistic way including better communication, decreased stress around finances, managing the emotions and heaviness associated with aging and end of life care, time management, relationships, prioritizing co-morbidities, and more.  Amelia and Lisa also share their personal experiences caring for and losing a senior pet and why adopting a nervous system perspective and fear-free approach is a game changer when caring for aging pets.

Ep. 80 | The #1 Most Important Question To Ask Yourself Going Into 202529 Dec 202400:24:54

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

Dwight Eisenhower got it right when he said, "what is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important". 

I really connected with that on a deep level a few years ago when I was burned out and wishing decades of my life away.  I was dreaming of retirement because that's when I imagined I'd actually get to start living and enjoying my life. And I realized that I didn't want to keep doing that. I wanted to actually start enjoying the life that I had now - the one that I knew I was going to get to live. I realize how tragic if I spent my entire life self-sacrificing for a better future and I never actually got to enjoy that future! And so that's why when ever I have a guest on the podcast, one of the questions I ask is, "when do you feel most alive?" Because that question helps to reconnect us with those important things that may not feel urgent in life, but they make all the difference and get to the heart of what really matters. 

This podcast episode is compilation of the responses that my guests have had over the year as well as my own answer to inspire you. Getting clear on what helps you to feel most alive will help you to make changes in your life and navigate your day in a way that lights you up instead of burning you out. 

After listening, send me a message or voice memo sharing what your answer is to the question. I'd love to continue to have more roundups like this in the future!

For support making changes so you're not living your life letting those urgent, but not important things crowd out all the things that are truly important at the end of the day and at the end of your life that's what my coaching programs are designed to do to help you to reconnect with the version of you that feels most alive and fulfilled in life.

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

With Dr. Shona Kowtecky — practical strategies to talk about money without stress.

Join Dr. Amelia and special guest Dr. Shona Kowtecky for an honest, practical conversation about one of the most stressful and avoided topics in veterinary medicine: finances. Whether you’re a veterinary professional or a pet owner, financial stress affects how you think, feel, and make decisions — and yet it’s rarely discussed in a way that feels supportive or clear.

In this episode, we unpack why money conversations feel so uncomfortable, how that impacts both veterinary teams and pet owners, and why building financial confidence is essential for well-being and access to care. Dr. Shona shares her F-E-A-R-R framework, a simple and effective tool to decrease fear around anything (including finances). 

You’ll walk away with practical strategies and mindset shifts you can start using immediately — whether you’re navigating client conversations, managing personal financial stress, or trying to understand the business side of veterinary medicine more clearly.

This is Part 1 of a 2-part series. Next week, we dive deeper into specific tools and exercises you can bring back to your clinic, team, or personal life.

The conversation delves into the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, nervous system regulation, and embracing the color and endless possibilities in veterinary medicine, emphasizing the need to reconnect with oneself to provide better care for patients and clients. Towards the end of the episode, they discuss how being open to exploring things like spirituality, psilocybin ceremonies, and hypnosis have helped them to release old black and white thought patterns. The episode also highlights Dr. Eve's work in supporting veterinarians through her House Call Vet Academy and an upcoming virtual conference.

Ep. 74 | Overcoming Adversity: Wisdom from the Wild with Guest Doctor Guss05 Nov 202401:19:33

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

In this episode of 'Life Boost with Amelia' podcast, Dr. Amelia hosts Doctor Guss, a wildlife veterinarian from Mexico. They explore the intersection of personal development and animal behavior, highlighting how animals can serve as a source of strength during challenging times. Dr. Guss shares his inspiring journey through personal adversity, including his harrowing experience of wrongful imprisonment, and how he rebuilt his life by integrating lessons from animal behavior into personal development. They discuss key principles such as bravery, acceptance, and the importance of writing to process emotions. The episode encourages listeners to break free from societal norms and connect with their inner selves by drawing inspiration from the natural world.

Dr. Guss wears many hats and divides his days in three - helping animals, people and his personal projects. He is a wildlife veterinarian, Thanatologist, and an author currently finishing his third book. His personal touch is that he uses animal characteristics to talk about personal development and business to create awareness about conservation. And he is currently partnering with a consultant company to develop a wildlife conservation platform that will help to fight against social media misinformation while also raising money and linking institutions, experts, and the public. He says he is like geese, (flying, walking, climbing, swimming, and scuba diving).

Ep. 73 | From Survival to Thriving: How A Fear-Free Approach (For Humans) Will Transform The Veterinary Profession And Your Own Life19 Oct 202401:35:17

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

Disclaimer: This episode touches on sensitive topics like mental health and suicide. This is not professional advice, and if you or someone you know is struggling, please seek help from a licensed mental health professional or contact a local helpline (988). Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode of the Life Boost with Amelia podcast, Dr. Amelia tackles the critical issue of burnout and high suicide rates in the veterinary profession. She advocates for adopting a 'fear-free' approach in humans, similar to the method used for pets, to be proactive in fostering a more sustainable profession so that veterinary medicine can lead by example and thrive. 

The episode explores various nervous system states (fight, flight, freeze/shut down, and fawn) and discusses how veterinary medicine's current approach ignores and in some cases even selects and rewards for these characteristics and patterns that's aren't sustainable so that we are missing the red flags before burnout and suicide. She highlights how recognizing the signs of these nervous system states helps to bring unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs into conscious awareness so that we have the power to change them and problem-solve.

By shifting out of survival modes like flight, fight, fawn, and shutdown, and recognizing societal pressures to push harder, the episode advocates for normalizing and unshaming feelings of defeat, imposter syndrome, and overwhelm. The discussion promotes creating supportive environments and safe spaces for open conversations about mental and physical health and how to foster a thriving and sustainable veterinary career.

Ep. 71 | Cool Things You Didn't Know About Gut Health, Thoughts On The "Hack Your Health: Secrets Of The Gut" Netflix Documentary, and How To Make Sustainable Changes 07 May 202400:55:10

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

I have been meaning to make this episode about gut health for 2 years and it finally happened. 🙌🏻 I recently watched the new Netflix Documentary "Hack Your Health: Secrets of the Gut" and that was the motivation I needed to re-share an Instagram live that I did a couple of years ago that is packed with info that is going to surprise you when it comes to gut health. 

The reality is that most people are pretty hush hush when it comes to bathroom habits, which means most people don't even know if their normal is actually healthy. If we don't talk about signs of poor gut health, then how can we fix it? The best part about gut health is that everything you do either positively or negatively impacts your gut. When you know how to support your gut, you become empowered to create huge positive change in your life when it comes to your metabolism, cravings, hormones, immune system, energy, anxiety, depression, blood sugar regulation, digestion, and even your genes! 

What are signs of an unhealthy gut? What causes an unhealthy gut? What is optimal for bathroom habits? If you have an imbalanced gut (dysbiosis), how can you bring it back into balance?  How do you make changes that actually stick instead of watching a documentary or listening to a podcast, being excited for a week, and then going back to normal? We cover all of that in this podcast episode!

If you've watched the Netflix documentary, this episode has lots of new information that wasn't covered in that show. One of the things that I loved the most about that documentary is that they talked about the importance of all 3 Life Boost B's: Belly, Brain, and Blood sugar instead of only talking about the gut. Everything is connected and they totally got that right! They also highlighted why our current norm is leading to rising rates of obesity, mental health issues, and chronic diseases which is so aligned with my message that if you want to feel good, you really have to break the norm. 

If you enjoy this episode and find it helpful, please share it with someone you love or leave a review. If you write a review, let me know and I'll send you a guided mental rehearsal as a thank you (the same technique elite athletes, CEOs, top surgeons, etc use to improve performance).

Ep. 69 | Game Changer Sneak Peak: The 3 Wellness Levels20 Mar 202400:20:41

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

We’re doing something new today! Last month, I did a major update to my Game Changer and added an audio option to each lesson so that you have the option to listen to your daily 10-15 minutes lesson during your commute, while going for a walk, or while washing dishes or folding laundry instead of having to sit down and read. My goal is to make this journey as easy as possible for you. 

Since I now have the audio, this is a glimpse of one of the first lessons in the Game Changer that teaches a key concept if you’re wanting to make healthy changes but keep promising yourself you’ll start tomorrow or if you’re making healthy changes but they feel hard and unsustainable. There are really 3 Wellness Levels, but our world acts like here are only 2 and both of those are pretty unappealing and uncomfortable. After listening to this episode, let me know which one sounds most familiar to you!


P.s. Check out "Life Boost with Amelia" podcast Episode 57: Unleashing Your Inner Unstoppable Bad-Ass. Around minute 28 there's an exercise with a guided mental rehearsal/hypnosis to help you to start unchaining the things that have been holding you back.

Ep. 68 | Recovering From Burnout with Guest Dr. Stacey Cordivano - The Whole Veterinarian29 Feb 202400:59:04

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

In this episode, Dr. Stacey Cordivano shares her story of experiencing and recovering from burnout. As a solo ambulatory equine veterinarian and mom with two kids under the age of 3, she knew something had to change when she found herself driving to the hospital to have her appendix out after cooking Thanksgiving dinner.  Just a couple of months earlier, she had been diagnosed with Lyme disease and experienced the emotional trauma of needing to wean her second child from nursing early. Despite making some changes, a year later she found herself asking, "What am I doing? Am I really making a difference?". That's when she started to discover personal development podcasts which introduced her to a whole new world that helped her start her journey of recovering from burnout.

Now, in addition to being a practice owner, equine vet, and mother, she is the host of the podcast, The Whole Veterinarian, where she has conversations with out-of-the-box thinkers who share new ideas on ways veterinarians can add more joy to their life to feel whole again. In this episode, she shares tips that have helped her to recover from burnout and she shares her perspective as a practice owner for what helps to create a "unicorn veterinary hospital" - a hospital where employees feel lucky to work at their practice because they're supported, respected, and valued so that they can provide veterinary care in a way that feels good and still have energy left at the end of the day to be a human outside of vet med.

Stacey is such a cool person, and I know you're going to get so much out of this conversation!

Ep. 66 | Why Vet Med Has A High Burnout and Suicide Rate + What We Can Do About It16 Oct 202301:27:37

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

Any time I tell someone outside of the veterinary profession about the high burnout and suicide rate, they're surprised. And that's totally understandable - from the outside being a vet seems like a really fun gig. We get to see puppies and kittens, after all! But there is a darker side of vet med that's important to talk about in order for it to change. Once someone learns about the high burnout and suicide rate, their next question is WHY. This podcast episode dives into the root issues of what leads to burnout in the veterinary profession AND discusses solutions to each of those including how veterinary professionals and pet owners can help to be a part of positive change.

This episode is for animal lovers, pet owners, and veterinary professionals. Please share it to help raise awareness about what each of us can do to be a part of creating positive change.

In the span of a few weeks, Hannah called off her engagement, moved out of the home she loved, packed up her Subaru, and went on a solo 6 week cross country road trip to hike in National Parks and to start living the life she wanted instead of continuing down the "easier" path everyone expected. 

The week leading up to the trip she felt "so anxious...terrified". 6 weeks later as she finished her trip, she thought "This is 100% what I should have done. I regret nothing."
Listen to the episode for all the details of how she found the courage to leave her safe and settled life to follow her heart and to start living the life she wanted, crazy stories from her trip, and her advice for anyone feeling stuck like she was.

Ep. 63 | 🤯 My Human Design Summarized Why I Reached Burnout + Why I Feel Like I'm Living My Purpose Now 20 Jul 202301:23:35

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

Earlier this year, I had a human design reading with HD expert Yvonne Chung and I was blown away by how accurate it was! I felt so seen and it really summarized what led me to burnout and why I now feel like I'm living my purpose and living a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

In this episode, I share my thoughts about Human Design and how it can be useful in deconditioning from patterns that are draining you so you can connect with the truest version of you in order to live a life that gives you energy. This is basically I'm sitting down chatting with a friend as I share some of the information from my human design reading. As I share parts of my personality you may not know about, I also cover a huge range of little tips and stories about a huge range of topics like imposter syndrome, delegating, veterinary medical acupuncture, postural restoration techniques, creating a "choose" to-do list, recovering from burn out, trauma responses, overcoming people pleasing and perfectionism, the different types of fear and ditching your helicopter parent nervous system, gut health, creating a new norm in the veterinary profession and our approach to health, why Big Food and Pharma companies set us up to fail, and so much more! It's basically a glimpse into my brain. 😊

I highly recommend Yvonne Chung's free master classes to learn about your Human Design type or getting a full reading! Find info on her master classes and deep dive readings here.

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

The moment my life changed was the moment I started to see the unconscious chains that had been holding me back from everything that I wanted but I didn't think was possible. It felt like suddenly the clouds were parting and everything seemed sunnier and more colorful. Since that moment, I've been on a mission to help others experience that same feeling like a huge weight is being lifted off your shoulders and you can breathe again. In this episode, I give examples of how unconscious chains (like limiting beliefs and automatic habits/patterns) hold us back and make our life harder and more uncomfortable than it has to be.

In this episode, I talk about how our society has normalized turning to things that don't make us feel good in order for a brief reprieve from the judgmental inner thoughts and voices that are holding us back and weighing us down. It has been so normalized that most people don't even realize the price they're willing to pay for those moments when they feel free. When you start to become aware of those thoughts and inner critics and call them out, you start to feel free in life and those things like alcohol and unhealthy food become so much less appealing.

The first part of the episode includes a chat about a recent trip to Richmond and Williamsburg, Virginia, geocaching, exploring, epic wedding ideas, and the struggles of natural deodorant. 😉

Ep 55 | My PSA: Why Semaglutides Aren't A Weight Loss Miracle Drug + Why Our Healthcare System and Guidelines Are Failing Us08 Feb 202301:20:15

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

This episode was inspired by the new weight loss injection, Wegovy, and the recent narrative that obesity is mainly caused by genetics and other factors out of your control. If you're overweight or obese, it's highly likely your doctor will recommend Wegovy, and there are some very important things you should be aware of before deciding if that's right for you.

This episode is for everyone regardless of your health status or weight. This is a PSA to shed light on why the norm in our country is to be sick, overweight, and/or unhappy. You will be shocked to learn how many of the health and nutrition messages and guidelines you likely trust are actually coming from individuals and companies who benefit from you being sick and overweight. We are stuck in a vicious cycle in our country when it comes to health, and in order to free yourself from the cycle and to approach healthy in a way that helps you to feel energized and alive you need to break the norm. I share simple things you can start doing TODAY to start feeling in control of your health, happiness, and success.

Ep. 43 | Two Myths About Rest and Resisting "Busy"18 Jul 202200:30:34

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

Is your heart afraid to relax? A recent horoscope telling me that inspired this episode. There are some things we need to clear up about rest. 

Myth #1: Rest is comfortable. 
When we think about having a break, we think that rest is going to feel really good - like it's just a big sigh for our body and mind.  That doesn't end up being reality when you have a high achieving perfectionist brain, because our natural state is to be busy. Previous experiences have taught you that busy is good.

Myth #2: Rest is a reward.

Rest is not a reward. It is a necessity. We need rest. And we need to stop treating it like this amazing thing that we need to work hard for in order to earn. Rest should not be something that you get when you finish your to-do list, rest needs to be on your to-do list and it needs to be a priority. 

In this episode, I talk more about both of those myths and then I share what you can start doing today to resist the "busy" mindset and start getting more comfortable with enjoying and prioritizing rest.
