Recognizing what resentment is, and how it appears in your life, is the first step to addressing it. For every woman physician leader, this shows up differently.

You may have said yes to roles outside your interests, just to gain experience. You may be in a role that doesn’t allow the time needed to do excellent work — so you work during family time. You may have leaders who expect 24/7 access via Teams or text.

Or, like me, you may have offered your skills to build something from the ground up on your own time — because you believed in it. Then it takes years for your organization to see the value of that work.

Whatever the case, you need to identify the source of your resentment. Determine what need is not being met.

Then take a good, hard look at your boundaries.

You may find your organization, your patients, your colleagues—and even you—cross them.

Dr. Stephanie Yamout helps women physician leaders get their time back, own their value, and command the room as they were born to do. For coaching support, apply for Stephanie's Signature Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you to a call.
