From Zoo Vet Tech to "Tech Teaching" Her Kids with Molly Waller, former Zoo Veterinary Technician
Nov 23, 2023 Episode 21

Join me this week as I talk to Molly Waller, a former zoological veterinary technician as she shares her journey as a working mom.  We talk about the impact our jobs have on our kids.  She would often take her daughter to work and believes her daughter being able to observe those tough situations, like sick animals, has made her resilient.  We also talk about the vet tech world in general and what it was like to be pregnant having the responsibilities that tech’s have. She has stepped away from her career for this season of life and we talk about the bittersweet feelings that come with stepping away and losing the companionship that comes with work.  However, as a stay-at-home mom she finds managing the mental load of parenting a little bit easier because her brain isn't keeping as many "vet tech things" like medication dosages, and calculations in it as it used to so there is more room for "mom things"!
