In this episode, Emily and I talked about:
How Emily got into nursing
Emily's faith journey
What it's like to work on the front lines during the time of COVID-19
The power of a smile and acts of service
Continuing to follow the advice and directives of our health directors and trusting that they know what they're doing!
I've known Emily Potusek for a few years now, and our families both go to the same parish. Through this, I've had the opportunity to encounter Emily and her smile on a regular basis. It was a real privilege to be able to talk to Emily a few months ago about her faith and work as a nurse, especially during this time of COVID-19. Together, we talk about Emily's personal faith journey, working as a nurse, and how she's been able to share her faith with others through her work.
As the situation with COVID-19 changes, I ask that you continue to pray for nurses like Emily who are hard at work to take care of us and help us stay healthy!

"I smile because I know God loves me and I know He put me here for a reason, and I like my job because I know I'm serving a purpose." — Emily Potusek
