Doctor Emily Roben

Episode 11 Today I interview my absolute most FAVORITE person on the entire face of the planet, Doctor Emily Roben. She is an emergency room attending at Lurie Childrens Hospital, she was a field hockey goalie at Stanford University (on a scholarship!), she is an incredible artist and crafter, and she is the best wife and best friend a person could ask for.
