Welcome to the Our MBC Life Summer Season 2023. In this episode Victoria Goldberg  is joined by clinical psychologist and author Sarah Mandel to discuss her beautiful, honest, and thoughtful memoir  Little Earthquakes and her insights into life and death, trauma and healing. parenting and hope.  

When Sarah  was pregnant with her second child, her daughter Sienna, she began preparing for her maternity leave, juggling the demands of her soon-to-be-new baby and her little daughter Sophie with the needs of her patients. Noticing a lump in her breast, she assumed it was most likely a clogged milk duct. But a biopsy revealed that it was breast cancer. When she went into labor, she learned that her cancer had already spread to her bones —horrible news that forced her to confront terminal illness as she was bringing new life into the world.

Take a listen. We promise you, you will love meeting Sarah.
