Listen Later

Katie, Certified Child Life Specialist talks with Sara Olsher, mom, cancer survivor, and owner of Mighty and Bright.

Not only does Sara talk with us about getting diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34, but she also talks about how she went through it as a single mother navigating life with a six-year-old.

We talk about

+How she advocated for herself and encourages parents to ask the same things for themselves that they do for their children

+How asking for help was non-negotiable and she had to learn to get comfortable with it

+How she told her six-year-old that she had cancer and her daughter’s emotional response to having a mother go through chemotherapy and painful surgeries.

Learn more about Sara’s calendar and book resources for families going through difficult experiences through Mighty and Bright.
