After losing three family members in six weeks, Emily Cisek knew there had to be a better way for families to plan and protect what’s most important to them.

Fast forward to today, Emily is the CEO and co-founder of The Postage, an all-in-one digital platform for life and family organizations, small businesses, and legacy management. The company’s goal is to help families deal with the logistics after a loss and allows them to be present, process the loss, and celebrate life.

Today, Emily is sharing her best tips on creating a healthy work/life balance, practicing gratitude, and overcoming self-limiting hurdles.
