Summary
We're celebrating PFN's birthday by shining a light on the partners who have been part of our journey toward people-first leadership, meaningful work, and purpose-driven impact. This special feature from Survive and Advance with Paul Estridge captures the heart of their work and the shared mission that brings us together. Enjoy! — One ordinary workday became the moment Dr. Ena Shelley had to choose between pushing through and asking for help. That choice saved her life. Paul sits down with Dr. Ena Shelley to unpack the brain bleed that nearly ended her life, the three surgeries that followed, and the surrender it took to trust others in her most vulnerable moments. Ena shares how faith, family, determination, and love gave her the will to keep going when the road back felt uncertain. This conversation is a reminder for every people-first leader: survival begins with recognizing the truth of your circumstances, asking for help, and choosing to advance with gratitude, purpose, and hope.
