How she did it: 35, single and 6 months pregnant - a podcast by Emma Johnson

Dr. Susan O'Malley is pretty awesome. With her thick New York accent, this lifelong underachiever, secretary with no more than a high school diploma, set out at age 30 to become a physician.

She did it.

In this interview, I interview this amazing, charming woman who did not let her age, marital or family status or the zillions of naysayers hold her back from her mid-life dream of medicine.

 

Dr. Susan O'Malley shares about:

• How she got over her low-self image to preserver through rejection from every medical school in the country, and eventual acceptance and matriculation at 35
• Romantic disappointments
• Powering through one of the most rigorous academic paths as a single mom of a newborn to become an emergency room physician.
• Her eventual move to cosmetic medicine and entrepreneurship with the opening of Sonas Med Spa in Connecticut
• The power of physical beauty
• Dating as a single mother
• What she does with her money
• Her daily schedule while in medical school while raising her tiny son

Listen to her gush about the 15-year romance with her husband (hear what she said when I asked how the sex was after all those years, and now in her 60s).

Dr. Susan O'Malley is the author of Tough Cookies Don't Crumble: Turn Set-Backs into Success, on Amazon.
