Dr. Jen Brandt, AVMA's Director of Wellbeing, provides a research-based foundation for our exciting new series, "Mistakes Happen," on this week's show. She explores the neuroscience behind mistakes, explaining how our brains are wired to perceive errors as threats and how that impacts learning, resilience, and performance. Through personal stories and practical strategies, she helps us move beyond blame and toward meaningful improvement.
