New Grad Vet & Mom 👩‍⚕️👶 | Mentorship & Work-Life Balance | Ready Vet Go 🎙️ | Dr. Ally Williams ✨

New grad. New mom. New career. And a reminder that mentorship and communication matter more than perfection. 👩‍⚕️👶🩺 In this episode of Ready Vet Go, Dr. Dani Rabwin sits down with Dr. Ally Williams, a new graduate veterinarian navigating early practice, motherhood, and finding a first job that truly supports her growth. Ally shares her non-linear path to vet med—from living in a girls’ home, to Ross vet prep, to becoming a mom during vet school—and how mentorship, collaboration, and honest communication helped her build confidence in her first year out. They talk openly about choosing the right first job, handling complications as a new grad, leaning into discomfort (in practice and on social media), and why being valued as a person—not just a producer—matters for longevity in this profession. This episode is for vet students, new grads, and anyone wondering if it’s possible to build a fulfilling veterinary career and a full life. 💛 In this episode, we cover: 👩‍⚕️ Becoming a veterinarian with a non-traditional background 🤝 The mentor who changed everything early on 🎓 Ross vet prep, transferring schools, and starting vet school as a new mom 🏥 What to look for in a first job (culture, teamwork, real mentorship) 🦷 A real dental complication—and how communication preserved trust 📞 Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness 📱 Social media, leaning into discomfort, and showing up authentically 💪 Small daily habits that support confidence and long-term sustainability 🎬 Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Meet Dr. Ally Williams 01:15 – Early inspiration: dogs, livestock, and a life-changing mentor 04:00 – Living in a girls’ home + finding support through vet med 06:10 – Pre-vet struggles, switching majors, and taking time off 09:00 – Ross vet prep program: what it is and who it’s for 12:30 – Vet school + pregnancy + becoming a mom 16:00 – Faculty support and bringing a baby to class 18:45 – Career goals shifting after graduation 21:00 – Finding the right first job: culture over production 24:30 – A dental complication as a new grad (and calling for help) 29:00 – Client communication, honesty, and building trust 33:00 – Social media, discomfort, and inspiring others 38:00 – Surgery confidence, small wins, and daily habits that matter 41:30 – Final reflections + encouragement for new grads 👇 QUESTION FOR YOU: What’s one small habit or support that’s helped you feel more confident in practice?
