Episode 33: You‘ll always be my baby- lessons from dad

In this episode, Tiffany Westrich-Robertson, CEO of the International Foundation for Autoimmune & Autoinflammatory Arthritis (AiArthritis) reflects on her choices about motherhood. While she never felt the "mother bug" to have children of her own, failed relationships led her on the path to dedicate her life to her career - and ultimately she "birthed" this organization. 

Like a parent, she has given her heart and soul into its' development over these 9 years and is proud of the accomplishments she and the other patient leaders have achieved. But she also knows her work as a parent is not over, as there is still a lot of work to do to make sure it succeeds and continues to change lives well after she is gone. Like all children, they need financial support to thrive, to grow, to continue to develop, so she is calling on the public to help make that happen with a donation. 

Tiffany ends the episode by thanking her own dad for genetically passing down his business savvy and for being a great example of what it takes to be a parent.
