Mastering Mom | Work Life Balance & Finding Fulfilment

Marla Grover is our special guest today who is a paediatric oncology nurse that helps families grow stronger on their journey through childhood cancer. Marla had a good friend when she was little who was diagnosed with cancer and she loved going over there to help out and do what she could to help take care of her friend. Caring for others and being empathetic was always just a very big part of who she is, thus she took on the nickname “Nurse Marla” and it kind of just stuck and has followed her as she continued through life and pursued a nursing career.

“I would just cry over them and their parents as they were sleeping and just the anguish that those mothers must have felt hearing that their child had cancer and the anguish that they knew they were gonna go through, and the hard parts of treatment, the being sick, and throwing up. All of those things that every mother wants to take away from their child while they’re going through it. All of those feelings intensified so much more after I became a mother.” 9:21
