As veterinarians and caregivers, we sometimes feel dark and lonely-trapped by our obligations and the expectations of the world. We care for so many lives. Yet our own lives can feel unspoken for. In The Unspoken Life, veteran veterinarian and speaker Dr. Kimberly Pope-Robinson rebuilds the bridge from darkness to connection and shares how to: -Find balance between the negative and the positive -Harness the seven core principles of connection -Overcome challenges with empathy and humor -Recognize, embrace, and connect to life again We don't have to blame and judge ourselves for being in a dark place. We don't need to be fixed. We are normal, loved, and wanted. More, we are in control, and we can move forward with our lives. We are one life connected. And we can cross that bridge back to connection, starting with just one step.
