I’m honoured to share this uplifting and inspiring conversation with the incredible Priyanka Pandya about her important children's book When Mummy Had Cancer.

Despite having had surgery just hours before recording this conversation, Priyanka still showed up to share her moving journey with us and the inspiration behind her book which offers valuable insights for parents and children.

Not only has Priyanka written a beautifully illustrated book while going through the challenging experience of cancer and treatment but she also started training in children’s life coaching. How amazing 🫶🏾

When Mummy Had Cancer is told through the eyes of a young child inviting young readers to reflect on their emotions and reminds them that even in hard times, there’s always room for hope, healing, and maybe even a little dancing. In this episode, we delve into family, courage, and finding strength in the face of adversity:

• Priyanka’s story from waiting for breast cancer results to navigating conversations with her children
• The importance of being honest with children and communicating openly as a family
• Roles of support systems and holistic healing in building hope and resilience
• Advice for families going through tough times
• Writing the book while going through treatment and recovery
• Nurses praise for “When Mummy Had Cancer’s” impact on families

Get comfortable, press play and don't miss this heartwarming and uplifting conversation.
