Captain Benjamin Wheatley on teaching soldiers resilience at the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence

Utah-born soldier Captain Benjamin Wheatley has learned a lot about resilience as he served his nation in the U.S. Army. Now, as the Director of the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Center, he gets to operationalize the center’s people-first initiatives. He helps make sure people are taken care of by making sure that we have a leadership environment that recognizes how important they are to leading soldiers and their families. He joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share the lessons, resources, and importance of balance in Military Life. Even though we live in challenging times, we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband, Major Brent Taylor, was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.  Listen to the Relentlessly Resilient Podcast regularly on your favorite platform, at kslpodcasts.com, kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL NewsRadio App. Join the Resilience conversation on Facebook at @RelentlesslyResilient and Instagram @RelentlesslyResilientPodcast.
