Part 2: Resiliency is leaning towards wholeness. Resiliency One-on-One: Host Imana "Mo" Minard with Dr. Nicolette Louissaint. 

Mo Minard talks with Nicolette Louissaint, PhD, who serves as Executive Director of Healthcare Ready. Together they explore how examining our lives in the context of wholeness helps us choose our best next steps towards resiliency. If we ask ourselves what wholeness looks like, we can then move towards that wholeness with an intentional goal. This way of thinking differs from seeing resilience as simply surviving, and at the same time draws on the many past experiences in our lives that give us strength. Mo and Dr. Louissaint also discuss our new pandemic reality and the challenges of overcoming unprecedented change, which includes defining an understanding of the gift of service, and the power of pouring that gift back into ourselves. 

Second in a 5-part podcast series features five discussions from Imana “Mo” Minard, Dr. Nicolette Louissaint, Rasheda Hatchett and Chandra Brown – four health care professionals who share their personal insights and perspectives about the importance of being resilient despite any trials or tribulations. Sponsored by Johnson and Johnson, the podcasts are candid, transparent and deliver an authentic conversation on how resiliency lets us transcend surviving and move up to a level of thriving.
