In the first episode of this series, my guest, known on Social Media as The Cancer Mum Cheerleader and I break down the truth behind celebrity silence. Not as gossip, but as lived experience informed information, patterns, and the power dynamics that shape who gets visibility... and who gets ignored.

This is where the cancer community stops waiting for validation from the public eye and starts validating one another instead. If you've ever felt invisible, overlooked, or talked around, this is your episode.

This is the beginning of #platformssupportingplatforms a movement built on humanity, accountability, and real support for the people doing the real work.

The silence has been examined. The evidence has been heard. This closing statement unseals the data behind the verdict. In a world once ruled by fame, the numbers tell a different story. One where truth, not celebrity, holds the power. My published article reveals the findings. My whitepaper records the end of an era. This is the reckoning. 

Exhibit E: The Cost of Silence explores what happens when empathy becomes performance and silence replaces accountability. Through data, psychology and lived experience, it uncovers how avoiding truth damages trust, reputations and connections, reminding us that every quiet choice leaves a measurable footprint in someone's life.

Day Four of Silence on Trial calls expert witnesses: psychology, statistics and lived experience. Why does society retreat into silence when families of children with cancer need presence most? From defence mechanisms to attachment theory, trauma responses to avoidance, this episode dissects the behavioural roots of silence and asks the jury ... our listeners ... to decide what silence truly costs.

What happens when the one you expected to show up... doesn't?

This episode is more than commentary. It is a testimony. A victim impact statement for every parent who has carried the weight of childhood cancer, only to find themselves abandoned by the very voices and people that claimed to stand with them. 

Exhibit C isn't just my story. It's a mirror held up to society, to the village that it is claimed helps to raise a child. 

In this courtroom-style podcast, Claire challenges the silence around childhood cancer support, exposes pity-driven fundraising, and spotlights strength being silenced when it threatens profit. 

This isn't a usual episode. It's a trial.

Society, Hollywood, hospitals, charities: all complicit. They watch families devastated by Cancer ... then walk away. When a book born from the silence they claim to fight against arrives? They look away.

This episode puts that silence on record. If you've felt erased, this is for you. If you've claimed to care and chosen silence, this is your reckoning.

and court is in session.

This short, guided meditation is designed to help parents pause, breathe, and release tension during moments of conflict. In just five minutes, you'll move from heightened emotions to calm presence, creating space for clarity, compassion and healthier communication.

In this impromptu episode, I dive into the silence surrounding Childhood Cancer Awareness Month which is a storm that rages quietly in the lives of thousands of families. While October (quite rightly) turns pink for Breast Cancer, September's Gold Ribbon remains unseen. I share hard-hitting statistics, personal reflections, and the emotional toll of invisibility. I introduce my book: a hybrid memoir and guidebook for parents navigating the relentless and unforgiving storm of childhood cancer. 

Divorce doesn't pause when your child has cancer... it collides with it. In this episode, Claire gets brutally honest about the hidden fractures families face. The logistical challenges, the emotional triggers, and its impact upon parents as individuals whilst navigating how to work together to support their child. This isn't theory, it's lived reality. 

If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of it all alone, this is for you.
