from The Modern Ancestral Mamas Podcast · host Corey Dunn and Christine Muldoon

What if pediatric cancer support did not have to mean choosing between the hospital and the holistic tools that can help your child stay strong?   In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Season Johnson (https://www.seasonjohnson.com/), functional practitioner, founder of the nonprofit Kick Cancer (https://kickcancermovement.org/), and owner of Biodynamic Wellness (https://biodynamicwellness.com/) in San Diego, to talk about one of the most terrifying realities a parent can face: a childhood cancer diagnosis. Season shares her family’s story of walking her son through acute lymphoblastic leukemia, what she learned inside the conventional system, and the practical ways parents can support nutrition, detox pathways, and quality of life alongside treatment.   Join our Patreon community! https://www.patreon.com/c/ModernAncestralMamas What you get as a member of the MAM family: -- Full Downloadable Cookbooks to help you live your ancestral life -- Full Episodes AD-FREE -- Exclusive Post-Recording Conversations with Guests -- Private Community of Ancestral Mamas   Season opens up about the shock of diagnosis as a holistic mom, the emotional whiplash of hospital life, and why so many parents feel powerless, then shows exactly where parents can take their power back.
