017- Join me while I interview Kelly West, a 25-year veteran Registered Nurse (RN) and a board-certified pediatric hematology oncology nurse. But she is currently working on infection control in relationship to childhood cancer at a hospital in Colorado. Despite her current position, she is representing herself not the hospital. Her mission in this episode is to help parents going through or those that have gone through the trauma of childhood cancer.  She is very passionate about her work, which led her to start her own business, The Resilient Soul, to help families. She also discusses the feelings of flight, fight, or freeze as a reaction to one's child being diagnosed. More interestingly, she has become profoundly interested in neuropsychology. So tune in to find out how she can help you, parents, and more about neuropsychology. 

The first 9 minutes describe Kelly's background and how she is able and why she is able to help parents. 
At 9 minutes Kelly really gets into the 'meat' of the topics.
At 17 minutes Kelly addresses the trauma that parents feel and how to address it. 
At 23 minutes Kelly addresses self-care and how it should be defined.
