There is no question that Moira van Dorsselaer is a glass half-full kind of woman. Throughout her veterinary career thus far, which has spanned over 20 years, she has encountered a number of challenges and situations that could be considered less than ideal. Yet each time, she has embraced opportunity (without overthinking things), has had faith in herself and trusted her intuition - and goodness, that has certainly worked out well for her! Moira is the proud owner of The Cat Clinic, Hobart, and is in the unique position of practicing veterinary medicine on the island state of Tasmania, where there is no referral option. As a result, not only has she curated a serious network of colleagues that she can call upon for assistance when needed, she also regularly pushes herself into that "stretch zone" and truly embraces the core value of lifelong learning. During this episode, Moira talks candidly about how she took "that" job (you know, the one everyone says not to take), what she loves about veterinary medicine (even after 2 decades in the profession), as well as the occasional impulsive decision-making, particularly when it comes to big life decisions! Listening to her story will absolutely put a smile on your face, and might even inspire you to be a little impulsive yourself!
