    Episode Pearls

    • Kids just want to be normal! Providing a sense of normalcy and finding joy is crucial for children undergoing cancer treatment.
    • Let’s be more intentional about our conversations with patients and parents. Instead of asking “how are you?” perhaps a better approach might be “how can I help?”
    • Pediatric cancer research needs more funding. Only 4% of federal funding for cancer research is allocated to pediatric cancers. #morethanfour #morethan4
    • You cannot pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself—whether you are a healthcare provider or a parent to a child with cancer—is important in order to provide the best care and support to others.
    • Parents and families have insights into how to communicate with their kid. Let’s partner with parents to best understand how to talk to their child about a cancer diagnosis—or any hard news. Leveraging the expertise of other healthcare professionals (looking at you, child life specialists, social workers, psychologists! Y’all are the best!) can help to find the best approach for each kid.

    Christine Jurgensen, CEO/Founder, Evan’s Avengers Foundation

    In 2016, my son, Evan, was diagnosed with Acute Biphenotypic Leukemia, as he had both Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia as well as Acute Myeloid Leukemia. For 3 years, Evan had numerous surgeries, pokes, prodding, IVs, blood and platelet transfusions, two bone marrow transplants, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infections, and then some. He had so many different chemotherapy medications and total body irradiation, which have saved him. However, they carry current and possible future side effects. I made a promise to my son that I would start Evan’s Avengers Foundation to help fund research to end Childhood Cancer.

    With more than 12 major types of pediatric cancers and over 100 subtypes, childhood cancer should not be considered rare. Each day, 43 children, more than a classroom, will be diagnosed with some form of cancer and are at risk of a high mortality rate. Many will later suffer from secondary cancer due to medication used to save their lives. The National Cancer Institute receives its budget from the United States Congress as part of the federal budget process through appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institute of Health (NIH). Despite of this, only 4% of federal government cancer research funding goes to study pediatric cancer, that’s just 4¢ on the dollar. We must write our Congressman and plead them to increase this budget. Make some noise with us and #GoGoldforchildren #GoldStrong #Gogoldforevansavengers

    5. I didn't learn THIS in PA school - Exam Room Nutrition Pearls with Colleen Sloan, PA-C, RDN
    2024/08/25

    Episode Pearls

    • You CAN do hard things, overcome hardships, and achieve your goals.
    • Most medical programs, including PA programs, do not provide sufficient nutrition education! Colleen shares tips and tools in her podcast, Exam Room Nutrition, and her Instagram @examroomnutrition to help busy clinicians with nutrition education.
    • Referring patients to registered dietitians when appropriate can ensure they receive specialized nutrition guidance.
    • Take a step back from being prescriptive with advice and instead, meet the patient where they are, and ask the patient what help they need for support in their struggles and provide personalized support.
    • Supporting and empowering women and PAs creates a positive sphere of influence to lift up all of us. I’m here to be your cheerleader :)

    4. I’m sharing it all – my vulnerable, imperfect, authentic, and beautiful PA life
    2024/08/18
    Episode PearlsI’ve found that my beautiful PA life looks like much more than being a PA. I’ve found so much joy and fulfillment in embracing the other parts of my identity that exist outside of medicine.Authenticity requires courage—the courage to own your truth and identity. Being your authentic self is exhausting, but so is maintaining a façade and hiding your truth. [By the way, I 100% recognize my privilege in saying this—and for some folks, their safety requires maintaining anonymity. If this is you: I see you.]Self-care is not selfish. Caring for yourself is the most important thing you can do for yourself and for your patients.Share your struggles: It is okay to not be okay. Talking about it takes away its power and allows you to get support in your hour of need.Words of Wisdom from this Episode“Taking care of myself is the best way in which I can provide the best care to my patients.” - @rachel.la.costa“There is this martyrdom complex that happens not only in healthcare…but in motherhood as well. We think that the way we can show the most love and care for our children or our patients is by giving all of ourselves to the people in our lives.” - @rachel.la.costa“Burnout is the accumulation of the consequences of neglecting yourself.” - @rachel.la.costa“It is okay to not be okay. Recognizing it is the first step and admitting is important too. And my best piece of advice? Tell somebody. Tell somebody about how you’re struggling right now. Tell somebody that you trust.” - @rachel.la.costa“How you do one thing is how you do everything.” - @rachel.la.costaAbout this EpisodeThe 'Daughter Dearest' Podcast recently rebranded to 'Her Unshakeable Confidence' Podcast with dynamic mother-daughter duo Simone and Olivia Knego and focuses on the secrets of transformation and how to build bold confidence and unwavering resilience.
