Being the Person Your Pet Thinks You Are with Dr. Amy Grimm
Episode 175
Thursday, 5 February, 2026
In this episode of Why Do Pets Matter, I sit down with Dr. Amy Grimm, veterinarian and founder of Daring DVM Coaching, for a heartfelt conversation about burnout, nervous system health, and the human animal bond. Amy shares how our pets literally help regulate our nervous systems, why that sense of calm and belonging matters so much, and how we can bring the same compassion we offer our animals back to ourselves. We talk about perfectionism in veterinary medicine, clients who arrive in survival mode, and what happens in the exam room when everyone’s stress is running the show. Amy offers practical, grounded tools like micro breaks, simple grounding rituals, and self compassion so veterinarians and pet professionals can show up as anchors instead of adversaries. If you have ever beaten yourself up after a hard appointment, wondered how to repair a rough conversation, or needed a reminder that you are more than your worst day, this episode is for you.
