  • Life Changing Moments: Tenacity and Grit, with Dr. Amy Reese

    The CE experience for this Podcast is powered by CMEfy - click here to reflect and earn credits: https://earnc.me/sJ7Uip

    "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."

    This quote attributed to Aristotle invites us to examine ourselves beyond just what we're doing inlife and actually look at how we're affected by it. For physicians, our training and professional lives are so overfilled with the doing that there's little time for reflecting on how we are doing. My guest today was able to transcend that busyness, take stock, and then often listen to her inner voice, even when at times, to an outsider, the decisions that unfolded as a result did not seem very practical.

    This week's guest is Dr. Amy Reese, an oncologist who has returned to her native Ohio to practice. Dr. Reese is a U.S. Navy veteran, completed her residency and fellowship in military training hospitals, and proudly served in medical units during operations in the Middle East. In this interview, we will hear what she did when, through self-awareness, she realized that her head was not quite in the game of medical training and practice, how healthcare professionals can benefit from therapy, and her source of inner knowing, resilience, and perseverance.

    And, if it's time that you find yourself having difficulty to summon the energy to get through your challengs, it might be time to reach out to us at mymdcoaches.com
