BOSS Business of Surgery Series

Ep 187 Reclaiming power, purpose and peace after a life quake with Dr. Jill Clark


Listen Later

The latest BOSS podcast episode features Dr. Jill Clark, with a truly inspiring story. She had her dream job as a colorectal surgeon in a beautiful city, respected by her peers. But under the surface, she felt a growing discontent—one that she tried to ignore until life forced her to listen. Between the pandemic, a breast cancer diagnosis, and an unraveling work environment, Jill felt like a hurricane leveled her life. What happened next wasn’t just a recovery—it was a reinvention. 

 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to recognize red flags that your job may not be the right fit
  • Why “quitting” can be a sign of strength, not failure
  • The value of a "challenge network" and coaching when navigating change
  • How to get clear on what you want—and ensure a “want match” before accepting your next position
  • Dr. Clark’s honesty is refreshing, her insight is hard-won, and her story is exactly what so many surgeons need to hear right now.
