Being a new parent can be stressful and exhausting; add to it a devastating health diagnosis, and you’re in for some very challenging times. Today, my guest shares her experience of being diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer after the birth of her third son and what she was inspired to create since then.

What We Talked About:

• The key symptoms to be aware of when it comes to Colorectal Cancer

• The importance of early detection and why she created “Be Seen.”

• How she managed parenting three young boys while undergoing cancer treatment

• Creating a supportive environment and open dialogue with children

Things to Remember

“Parenting is tough, and caring for ourselves is also tough.”

“We know that we should have an annual physical. We would never miss those appointments for our children. And yet, as parents, we sometimes miss those for ourselves.”

“Hiding things or calling it something different creates more instability for our children.”

“Life is wild. It will throw us curveballs.”

“Help your kids know that It's okay to walk into these different settings that feel a bit unknown and, sometimes, very scary when you're going through it.”

“Your kids give you as much energy as they take.”

“If we turn the volume off on that inner voice and instinct, we're missing so much of that goodness inside us.”
