    In this episode, Kylie sits down with Dr. Ashton Whittington’s newest veterinarian and one of our fearless large animal docs under Dr. P. Fresh out of LSU, she jumped headfirst into a field still mostly run by the boys… and she’s proving every day that she belongs right there beside them, rope in hand and boots on the ground.We talk about what it’s like navigating the first year out of vet school, the challenges (and perks) of being a woman in a traditionally male-dominated corner of the profession, and the moments that made her fall in love with large animal medicine in the first place. She shares stories from the field, the lessons she’s learning on the fly, and the grit it takes to carve her own place. And yes, we’re getting into the real talk about finding confidence, earning respect, and keeping your head up when folks underestimate you.

    If you love hearing about purpose, passion, and breaking barriers with a little dirt under your nails, this episode’s your ride-along.

    In this episode of Whittington Waymakers, Kylie sits down with Dr. Anne Katherine for a real, honest conversation about the tightrope walk we call work–life balance in veterinary medicine. From the emotional weight we carry to the long days, missed lunches, and constant pressure to “push through,” nothing is off the table.

    Together, they dig into what balance actually looks like in this field not the Pinterest-perfect version, but the lived reality of seasons, boundaries, faith, exhaustion, joy, and the grounding moments that keep us steady. Dr. Anne Katherine opens up about her own journey, how she’s learned to protect her mental health, and the small daily habits that help her stay centered in a career that can be both beautiful and brutally demanding.

    This episode is for every vet, tech, assistant, receptionist, and animal lover who’s ever felt pulled in every direction. Come pull up a chair, take a deep breath, and let’s talk about finding wholeness, purpose, and peace in the work we love.
