Resilience during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences of Single Working Mothers - Sylvie Maury, PhD

Overview: This study explored how single working mothers experienced resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a feminist narrative inquiry approach, nine participants shared their stories through video-recorded interviews, each beginning with mindful breathing. The Listening Guide analytic method helped uncover a new definition of resilience, highlighting self-awareness, acceptance, self-compassion, positivity, agency, self-care, and perseverance as interconnected traits. Six contrapuntal voices revealed internal tensions, systemic inequities, and the complexity of their lived experiences. The findings informed the creation of a Resilience and Wellness Wheel, a coaching tool designed to foster awareness and support for resilience and well-being in this population. Bio-sketch: Sylvie M.
