Content warning: this week we are going deep as we discuss Andrea’s family experience with pediatric cancer. In part 1 of this conversation, Kari & Andrea talk about what it’s like to live in the shock of an unexpected illness, the immediate support that friends can provide, and the clarity that comes from having to evaluate your priorities when life throws you a curve ball. We reflect on the importance of sharing your story (especially in the height of the crisis) and the power that comes from opening yourself up to support from others. We hope this 2-part conversation helps you to better support people in their lives during hard times. If this resonates with you, we hope you share this in the hopes that others can better support you. Let us know what you think.
