In this episode of Unfiltered Vet Discussions, the panel delves into the final phase of a veterinary business's lifecycle: the transition from ownership to life after selling or stepping away from the practice. We discuss the emotional and mental challenges of letting go, including the loss of identity that often accompanies leaving a business. The conversation highlights the importance of preparing for this transition, staying connected with the community, and finding new ways to define one's purpose beyond practice ownership. Panelists share personal experiences of dealing with this "afterlife," emphasizing the need to build new connections and maintain mental well-being during this significant life change.
