Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Deborah Gilboa, MD, an expert in resilience and navigating change.

The Pittsburgh-based family physician and author of “From Stressed to Resilient: The Guide to Handle More and Feel It Less” begins the program by defining what is — and what is not — resilience. We learn that it can be exercised and strengthened to be employed when we are presented with unexpected choices, positive or negative.

Gilboa, whose son served and was injured as a lone soldier in Gaza, shares how she personally found inner fortitude following his deployment in October 2023 and was able to be the mother he needed when called upon.
