This month, we are talking about self-preservation and one of the critical steps is staying in community with women who can restore us and support us. So in this episode, I have the pleasure and opportunity to speak to Drs. Yashika Dooley-Chang and Marsha Caton founders of The Thrive 2G Conference, the Premier Conference for women physicians of color who are determined to be changemakers and leaders. This year, the conference is virtual and will launch in early September with over 30 Black women physicians speakers in one conference.
Here we get to speak about their journey from idea to realizing their vision while avoiding burnout as moms and doctors in medicine. There are so many best practices, gems and pearls of wisdom they both share during our conversation. This is a must-listen for all of you who have a great idea but are battling the fear and confusion about how to make it happen. Enjoy the episode and definitely have a pen and notepad, because you are going to want to take notes.
