Heidi's Story - Pediatric Cancer + Child Loss + Ohana Oasis

20 years ago Heidi lost her 5 year old daughter Alison, to a brain tumor.  She walks us through what life was like before Alison's diagnosis, and what happened throughout her life after Alison passed away.  Heidi is definitely making lemonade with her lemons.  She chose to keep moving forward and to honor Alison through living her own life and fulfilling what matters most to her. 

Heidi has made some big changes in her career and location.  She worked in public affairs advising on health care policy in a variety of positions including the Idaho Director of Government Affairs for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.  8 years after losing her daughter and realizing she had some good tools & resources to share with others she founded 'Ohana Oasis' in hopes to help others work through their grief & loss through retreats.   

Talking with Heidi was so uplifting.  We are so happy that she shared her story and wisdom on our podcast.  We hope that you guys love this episode as much as we did.
