With one phone call, Erin Zammett Ruddy's life completely changed. Diagnosed with leukemia as a 23-year-old, she quickly learned about what have become key terms in our current news cycle: clinical trials and experimental therapies. Erin's accomplished work as a writer includes her recently-published The Little Book of Life Skills, in which she interviewed more than 150 experts on how to simply live SMARTER and (drum roll) she featured SmartHER News! But we believe it's HER story that deserves to be told. We hope you enjoy this conversation AND check out Erin's book in our Amazon shop (www.amazon.com/shop/Smarthernews) - it's the perfect last-minute stocking stuffer!
