Have you ever wondered how those with high levels of stress and pressure manage to keep it all together? How do they manage to maintain such a strong sense of perspective?
This week, we had the honor to talk with Dr. Beth Riley, a medical oncologist treating women with Breast Cancer. Beth specializes in treating all ages and stages of breast cancer. In this inspirational episode, Beth discusses how she finds the daily strength to work in a field of medicine where the news to patients and their families can often be heart-breaking.
Beth’s ability to maintain a healthy perspective on her life while guiding patients through breast cancer and sometimes end-of-life care is inspiring. Listen as we explore how surrounding ourselves with a helpful team of co-workers and friends is imperative when navigating a stressful career and how practicing gratitude and living daily with the knowledge that “nothing is guaranteed in life” keeps her grounded.
Listen to this inspiring episode where Dr. Riley sheds light on how to maintain one’s perspective by understanding there are things we cannot control, and focusing on things we can control.
What is 'Perspective'?
A perspective is an attitude or way of looking at something and bringing a unique point of view. Our perspectives are shaped by our story, our experiences, and our values.
