Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Erica Kosa discuss the following:

• You have battled a lot over the last several years, yet you continue to thrive when others in your same situation don’t necessarily fare as well.  What is the secret to maintaining a “positive purposefulness” as you call it?
• We all know that stress can have major adverse effects on your health, but you have argued stress can be useful as well.  Please explain what you mean by this.
• How do you ensure that stress does not take over your life?  Give the listeners one practical tip that you have found most useful.
• Kids often experience stress as well, but may express it in different ways.  How can you help identify stress in children and how can you help kids deal with such stress?
• In your situation, there is a lot to juggle – full-time job, raising children, helping to care for your chronically ill husband.  What is your advice to someone who might also be juggling a full plate, with the stress that comes with it?
