Description

I have an extremely special guest on the podcast today…my sweet 13-year old daughter, Selah! I asked her to join me because as a “Super Sibling”...or a sibling of someone who had cancer…I wanted her to share her experiences while her brother, Kicker, went through 3.5 years of treatment. I pray that this is helpful to the families listening today, and even though I knew a lot of her responses, there were still a couple of things that really surprised me! Here’s what you can expect to hear… What Selah remembers the most about her brother’s cancer journey. How it felt watching her brother lose his hair. The hardest parts of being the big sister of a little brother who was sick. How she felt about not getting as much attention as her brother. My encouragement to remember to do special things with the healthy sibling. Why we included Selah in some of Kicker’s protocols. Selah’s suggestions to my husband and I about what we could have done to help her feel more included. The amazing lesson she learned from Kicker’s cancer…that I pray she never forgets! The importance of living in the moment. Some observations about how Selah remembers moments versus how I personally remember them. Our encouragement on what type of friends to have alongside you during the cancer journey! Selah’s priceless advice for other super siblings!

Are you or a loved one in the midst of a cancer diagnosis, or bouncing back from your battle? Welcome to Thrive Through Cancer, the podcast that offers hope in the healing, and shares personal experiences, self-care solutions, health tips, and the support of a community - people just like you. I’m Season Johnson - a functional nutritional therapy practitioner whose son was diagnosed with cancer right before his 3rd birthday. My job was to keep people healthy, to help them fight disease. So when my own son was diagnosed with this scary disease it was so humbling. But rather than becoming a victim I began researching, upleveling my knowledge, my mindset and chose to serve others through our own cancer journey. And this show is an opportunity to find, and share, strength through our situations. You’ll hear from health professionals, innovative thinkers, dynamic personalities, and those who have learned to live life to the fullest - despite their diagnosis. We will raise some questions, find some answers, shed a few tears, share more than a few laughs, and give each other the motivation to get through one more day…every single day. So join me on this journey, and let’s learn to Thrive Through Cancer…together. Follow us now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy your shows.
