Sara Olsher went through a divorce, a major move and career change, and cancer treatment all in her daughter’s first seven years of life. When she found herself frustrated with the lack of resources for cancer patients with young kids, she started creating them herself—and her company Mighty + Bright was born. Sara’s products help parents and kids talk about (and even thrive) through difficult experiences.
In this conversation, she opens up about her own life and how she’s learning to connect with her daughter, ask for help when needed, and break generational habits of parenting. I know you’ll enjoy this conversation with Sara as much as I did.
