Episode 40 welcomes Aurora’s own Emily Pillar onto the show. As a senior intelligence analyst, she brings a resourceful and inquisitive perspective, developed at a young age. At age 5 she was pondering the concepts of how minute actions could change reality, and by age 12 she was analyzing grocery coupons to determine an ideal shopping list.
Following a tragic accident involving her father, Emily and her sister took on the role of being a caregiver and healthcare advocates. She details what exactly that looks like and why it is so vital to be present in our loved ones' lives.
Listen in today for first-hand practical tips on how to navigate the medical system, why taking care of yourself is important, and what competitive intelligence and caregiving have in common!
