Central Line: The AAHA Podcast
Education
You know that feeling you get when you have a real, meaningful interaction with someone? It might be with a friend or a complete stranger, maybe a few minutes or even a few seconds, but you walk away with your heart a little lighter than it was before. This type of connection, according to Andi Davison, LVT, CAPP, APPC, positive change agent at Flourish Veterinary Consulting, isn’t just nice—it's essential.
Andi breaks down the evidence behind positive psychology’s PERMA model, which includes relationships as one of pillars that contribute to helping us flourish. In her role working alongside Josh Vaisman, MAPPCP (PgD), at Flourish Veterinary Consulting, Andi helps practices, groups, and individuals learn to create better connections. Join us as Andi explains how her lifelong involvement with horses has helped her understand the ingredients of true connection: vulnerability, authenticity, trust, kindness, and belonging/mattering.
