On this week's episode, I sit down with a dear friend of mine, Dasha. In this episode, Dasha shares a bit about her son's cancer diagnosis, treatment, and journey, while also sharing how she began asking questions when things didn't add up. She discusses how and why she began doing her own research, finding alternative treatment options that aren't as damaging or invasive to the body, and the importance of advocating for your children. This is a conversation that everyone needs to hear, but especially parents in a world where society and doctors try to convince you that your children need pharmaceuticals in order to heal.
About Dasha:
Dasha is a single mother to two amazing boys that are 7 and 9. She homeschools her sons, works as a hairstylist part time, and creates content to help spread awareness about pediatric cancer, everyday toxins, real food, and her journey as a mother. Her older son was diagnosed with T-lymphoblastic Lymphoma (blood cancer) in 2019 and their world was completely turned upside down. They fought long and hard for 2 1/2 years through cancer treatment, and thankfully he is currently healthy and still in remission. This experience pushed her to research, ask questions and dig deeper on many “controversial” topics. She has made it my mission to have open conversations daily and empower others to dig deeper in their own health and wellness journey.
