Elaine Yong - Pt 1 (Self Esteem and Media Stereotypes)

LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE

Elaine Yong is a former Canadian news reporter (GlobalTV and CityTV Vancouver), and now the Communications Manager for the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. Elaine discusses her career and how she "faked it" until she really made it, family, failed relationships, hunky interns, and some amazing success stories along the way.

A mother of two, Elaine spoke about how their first child, Addison’s first few weeks of life didn’t go as planned, "a Horrible Nightmare", and why advocating organ donation is so important to Elaine Yong and her family.
