14. The Money Mindset: How to Shift From Scarcity to Abundance in Vet Med

In this episode of The Evolved Vets Podcast, we’re digging into one of the most requested and emotionally charged topics in veterinary medicine: money.

We’re sharing our own mindset shifts from scarcity to abundance, and how the narratives around money in vet med can shape the decisions we make, the jobs we take, and the way we value ourselves. From student loans and undervaluing our time to the emotional weight of treatment costs and client interactions, we explore how to reframe these challenges with compassion, strategy, and clarity.

We talk through the three core areas where lack and abundance show up: mindset, money, and time. We share stories from our personal lives, including what we’ve learned about aligning spending with our values and investing in what truly matters. We also highlight insights from experts like Dr. Meredith Jones, who brings a wealth of knowledge as a veterinarian and certified student loan professional, and Ashley Foster, Anna’s husband and a financial life planner who helps vets design value-driven financial strategies.

Whether you’re feeling the pressure of student debt, overwhelmed by career decisions, or simply ready to live more intentionally with your money, this episode is here to support you.

Let’s rewrite the money story in vet med, together.
