Licensed professional counselor Rachel Menzoian is back on the podcast, this time talking about self-care as a single parent when your child is going through childhood cancer. Rachel defines self-care and discusses the challenges to prioritize self-care as a single parent—especially a single parent who has a child with cancer. Rachel shares practical, easy steps single parents can start taking today that will help them re-energize and re-prioritize so they can not only have more energy but also be able to engage more with their children. She also reminds everyone that self-care is not just proactive; it's also in the moment, reacting to moments of stress with positive practices. She also suggests involving your kids as needed from time to time, as it models to them what self-care is.
