Fearless Warrior Publishing Vol #2 - 2

Have you ever sent yourself to timeout?

Every three weeks after my mom’s treatments she likes to ask for me to rub her head.
I gently rub her head and tell her to close her eyes and breathe in the flowers through her nose and blow out the birthday candles through her mouth. We repeat this kind of breathing three more times and then she opens her eyes. I call this the timeout method. After that I ask if I can go back to watching cartoons. She always smiles and says, “Of course!”

Going on timeout is something mom and I practice everyday. It gives us both a moment to just relax and be quiet. By taking the time to just be still for a few minutes, it allows your mind to take a break. It also gives you a moment to think about new fun things to do and be creative!

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, please make sure you to put yourself on timeout!!!!!

The Fearless Warrior Project – Volume 1

Volume-1

My mom is Michelle and she has Metastatic Breast Cancer, its an illness but she’s a warrior. I got to interview my mom’s medical team and ask a bunch of important questions about her illness. I’m a 6 year old advocate, so it’s important that my voice is heard. For her illness, the type of doctor she has to see is called an Oncologist and his name is Dr. Razvai. We got to talk about some really important things about her care, the clinical trial she is enrolled in and ways I could help her at home. Dr Razvai talked to me about the importance of knowing your body and being healthy. I was excited to tell the doctor and his team all about how my Mom taught me how to do my own self breast exam. We call it “checking our buttons” and we practice every night.

Being a daughter of a Metastatic Breast Cancer warrior, it is important that I learn ways to not only help her but educate myself.

Her journey is our journey and together we are changing the narrative!
