	Description:		Welcome back to the Lighthouse Podcast! In this episode, Chris and Christy had the privilege of speaking with Sara Olsher. Sara is a single mother to a 12-year-old daughter, the CEO of Mighty + Bright, Author, and Executive Director of the Resilience Campaign. At the age of 34, Sara was diagnosed with breast cancer and found herself frustrated with the lack of resources explaining cancer to children. Sara began to have foundational conversations with her daughter, explaining her diagnosis and treatments. During her treatment, Sara began designing resources specific to cancer — including a children's book explaining the science of cancer and a visual calendar for kids to take the chaos out of treatment. Sara ends our discussion by sharing two helpful tips for parents: 1. Be open and honest with your children about what is happening. 2. Spend 10-15 minutes individually each day with your kids to connect and make them feel seen. For information on the resources mentioned, head to the Mighty & Bright website at https://mightyandbright.com/cancer.
