Let’s be real, the dog and vet world can get... intense.
Big hearts, high stakes, burnout and fatigue all inside a culture that doesn’t always make space to just be human.

So we’re having a real conversation.
Not a trauma talk. A truth talk.

Join Leigh Siegfried (Opportunity Barks / DOGCULTR) and Veronica Rodriguez, therapist and consultant for the dog and vet professions, for a grounded, funny, and deeply honest session about what it means to create safety, sanity, and self-awareness, with or without a leash in your hand.

We’ll unpack:
• How the dog world trains us to care for everyone but ourselves
• What happens when empathy turns into exhaustion
• How to hold space for both dogs and humans without losing yourself
• And how to come back to your own body and boundaries, even when the field feels nuts

For anyone who’s been in it, loves dogs deeply, and wants to stay in the game without burning out.
