What Having It All Looks Like: Surgeon, Wife, Mother, and Friend with Dr. Wendy Wong and Marney Reid

Join Marney Reid and Wendy Wong, MD as they discuss what having it all looks like in today's age for high achieving career women, and balance family along with their professional responsibilities. In 2012 Anne-Marie Slaughter published an article in The Atlantic titled "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," and at that time, this may have been true. The discussion with Dr. Wong proves just how far we've come, and that incredible women are doing it every day: achieving accolades and enjoying a flourishing career, while being super Moms and role models to their children and friends.
