Childhood Cancer and Shattering Stereotypes

Kathryn interviews cancer survivor Sally Loughridge PhD, author and illustrator of “Daniel and His Starry Night Blanket: A Story of Illness and Sibling Love”. When a child has a critical illness parents must cope with the diagnosis, the treatment and their own emotional responses. Young siblings may feel abandoned amid intense parental attention to a sick sibling. This is the story of a young boy as he is impacted by his sister's cancer journey. Dr. Loughridge is a child psychologist, cancer survivor and artist. Kathryn also interviews Carol Vallone Mitchell PhD, author of “Breaking Through B*TCH: How Women Can Shatter Stereotypes and Lead Fearlessly”. When a man strongly asserts his point of view, he is hailed as a strong, competent leader. When a woman exhibits the same qualities, she is labeled an overbearing bitch. Dr. Mitchell uses stories from executives at the highest corporate levels to show how women can rise to the top and be outstanding leaders.
