I am so excited to share today’s guest, PA Tara Cross. Tara currently works as an orthopedic PA but also runs her own business teaching wilderness medicine of all levels. From teaching lay people basic first aid and CPR to running advanced life support courses for PAs and paramedics, Tara loves to share her knowledge of wilderness medicine and safety.

In today’s episode, Tara tells us what to do if we encounter an emergency outside the walls of our hospital or clinic. She details what we should have on hand to be prepared for an emergency, whether we’re hiking the backcountry or at our kid’s soccer game. Tara discusses the basics everyone should know and how to adjust our mindset from waiting for CT or ultrasound results to using the limited resources we have on hand to triage the situation and stabilize the patient.

Listen in to learn what you can apply today to increase safety and be prepared on your next camping trip or next trip to the playground.

We’re kicking off a new series all about back to money basics with this episode on the podcast. Joining me as a special guest for this series is my very own virtual assistant, Sarah Miller. Sarah is a critical care PA, a VA, and also a finance guru. Sarah shares how and why she became a VA as well as how a strong foundation in money management allowed her the financial freedom to make different decisions regarding her career and family. She was able to make decisions based on her values and what worked best for her family, not solely based on money.

We want you to also have that financial freedom. To be able to make decisions based on your values and what’s important to you, not based only on finances. We want you to choose your job, where you live, how you raise your children, what kinds of vacations you go on, etc based on what you want, not only on the cost associated.

Financial freedom brings you choices, time freedom, and the ability to create the life you love. Let’s dig into the basics of money so that you, too, can build a solid financial foundation for your future.
