This week on Rooted in the River, I sit down with my dear friend, Pamela Saulters, a mother whose story will touch your heart in ways you won’t forget.

Imagine watching a growth on your child's neck get bigger and bigger and then learning your child has cancer. At just three years old, Pamela’s daughter was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma that required surgery, chemotherapy, and intense radiation.

What followed was a journey no parent imagines they will ever walk: years of treatment, fear, courage, and an unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.

Today, eleven years later, her daughter is fifteen and cancer-free. Pam opens her heart and shares what those years were like, the moments that broke her open, the miracles they witnessed, and the ways she kept showing up with strength she didn’t know she had.

This conversation is for anyone who has been touched by childhood cancer, whether as a parent, family member, friend, colleague, or loving witness.

Pam shares her journey to remind others you are not along, offers wisdom on what to say, what not to say, and how we can truly support those walking through what feels unimaginable.

Grab a Kleenex, find a quiet moment, and join us for this tender, powerful conversation.

Sending so much love to Pam, her daughter, and every family navigating a childhood cancer journey.❤️
