First up, we remember our friend, colleague, and co-host, Chawnte Randall, who died on November 12, 2020.  Today's episode is focused on Parenting while living with MBC  and Chawnte was an incredible parent.  We also dedicate this episode to the memory of Heidi Armitage Green who died 11 years ago of Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer at the age of 43.  We wanted to hear from a number of voices on this challenge of parenting while dealing with a terminal illness.  We speak to Heidi’s 20-year-old son, Walker, who gives us his reflections on what it was like for him as a child to lose a mom to MBC.  We also have an amazing lineup:  Morgan Livingstone, Child Life Specialist and the author of the book “Talking to kids about MBC”;  the mom's, based out of the UK, who created the new Little C Club flashcards for kids;  the advocates and moms, Abigail Johnston and Adiba Barney; and, insights from our co-host Natalia Green.
