Oncologist and research scientist Ellie Guardino and I sit down to chat about her strict childhood and school life, the importance of a loving support system, and her finding of purpose and self-worth. When you embrace the imperfection of your own journey and life itself, it is easier to spot what really matters to you. Are your decisions leading you to happiness?

(10:49) - How a tragedy guided Ellie to pursue a medical career — “At the time it was hard to understand how a 16-year-old could have a brain tumor and die within a very short period of time.”
(16:32) - We’re all on the same boat: learning resilience and embracing the imperfection of the high school life — “It was a time for me to really try to figure out why the world was the way it was.”
(24:41) - Searching for a mentor, not having regrets, and jumping into people’s pools at 2 A.M. — “Find someone that you connect with and ask them to be your mentor, there’s nothing wrong with asking for that.”

(47:02) - How to build a happy home and deal with the most difficult times — “It’s the right thing to do, to continue to push the envelope, try to have an impact, and I don’t regret it one bit.”
