Julie Millar & Danielle Williams: The Power of Play, Preparation, and Presence in Pediatric Healing

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 12 septembre 2025 • Durée 39:54

What happens behind hospital doors when a child receives a life-threatening diagnosis? For many families, the fear, confusion, and emotional overload can feel impossible to navigate. That’s where Child Life Specialists step in, not just to explain what’s happening, but to empower kids and families through every moment of the journey.

In this episode of The Mindful Haven Podcast, host Lori Griffith welcomes Julie Millar, Certified Pediatric Child Life Specialist, and Danielle Williams, Child Life Officer Supervisor at Palm Beach Children's Hospital. Together, they shine a light on one of the most essential and overlooked parts of pediatric care: emotional wellness, therapeutic play, and whole-family support.

This isn’t just about teddy bears and coloring books. It’s about building trust, reducing fear, and helping kids reclaim their sense of safety and self, even in the face of illness.

Charity DeLeon: Letting Go of Who You Were: A Warrior Mom’s Story of Trauma, Survival, and Spiritual Rebirth

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

vendredi 5 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:05:08

When Charity DeLeon’s son Tobias was diagnosed with leukemia at just 18 months old, life as she knew it changed forever. What followed was 850 days of hospitals, chemotherapy, medical trauma, and the unthinkable: her son coding and needing to be resuscitated after total organ failure.

In this deeply moving episode of The Mindful Haven Podcast, host Lori Griffith sits down with Charity to talk about the emotional, physical, and spiritual toll of pediatric illness, not just on the child, but on the entire family. Charity shares what it was like to shut down her business, manage full-time care for two children with life-threatening conditions, and fight to stay afloat mentally while everything around her was collapsing.

She also opens up about the miracle of her son’s survival, his near-death spiritual experience, and the healing she found through therapy, food, sunlight, and community. From dark nights of the soul to breakthroughs through Mindful Haven’s programs, Charity’s story is one of grief, growth, and profound transformation.

Charity also shares the deeper “why” behind her passion for plant-based nutrition, how she’s building Charity’s Vegan Kitchen, and why food is more than just fuel—it’s a tool for healing.

Diana Gelfand: Parenting Through Trauma, Burnout, and Post-Traumatic Growth

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

vendredi 29 août 2025 • Durée 50:57

In this episode of The Mindful Haven Podcast, host Lori Griffith sits down with therapist & single adoptive mom Diana Gelfand for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, resilience, and what really happens to parents caring for medically complex children.

Diana isn’t just a licensed therapist, she’s a warrior mom with lived experience. After adopting three children from the foster care system, all with significant medical needs, she found herself navigating the overwhelming realities of caregiving, identity loss, emotional burnout, and chronic grief. Today, she’s the founder of DLG Therapy, a virtual counseling practice created specifically for parents like her.

Lori and Diana unpack what happens after the diagnosis, when the world moves on but the trauma lingers. From the PTSD many parents silently carry, to the isolation, guilt, and implosion of family systems - they explore why mental health support for caregivers is urgently needed, and what practical steps can help.

This episode is a must-listen for any parent, caregiver, or supporter who has ever felt invisible in the fight to keep their family afloat. It's honest, validating, and packed with practical wisdom from someone who's lived it.

When Alexis Bleiler’s son was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive tumor at just 18 months old, her world came to a halt. In this powerful episode, Alexis shares what it was like to process the diagnosis, uproot her life, and advocate fiercely through surgery, treatment, and recovery.

From the raw moments in the hospital to the mental toll of constant caregiving, Alexis opens up about grief, survival mode, and what it truly means to start over. She also talks about how writing, media, and community helped her find purpose again, and how she's now helping other families find their voice too.
