Resilience is one of those words we’ve all heard — especially as physicians and mothers — but what does it reallymean when life knocks you down? In this episode of Single Mom MD, Dr. Gail Clifford shares her personal journey with resilience: from being handed a massage chair during the pandemic as “support” while dealing with moral injury, to learning what it actually takes to survive and thrive as a single mom in medicine.
You’ll hear 7 practical ways to build resilience, plus stories from Dr. Clifford’s own life, and wisdom from experts like Brené Brown and Viktor Frankl. From cultivating optimism to setting SMART goals, this episode offers real tools you can use — not just buzzwords.
Whether you’re a single mom physician, an executive, or simply a woman facing tough times, this conversation will help you bounce forward, not just back.
And you can get started with some Genius Tips for how to set yourself up for a great work week. Here are things to schedule on whatever you consider your "Sunday" to do just that!
