Join the Conversation with Summer Keith

Parenting from pregnancy and beyond a fathers perspective with guest Eric Maldonando.

Welcome to our podcast, Join the Conversation with Summer Keith. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are talking with the Helen Knoll Foundation about Breast Cancer prevention. Every October, pink ribbons bloom across storefronts, social media feeds, and sports jerseys. But Breast Cancer Awareness Month is more than a color—it’s a movement rooted in hope, resilience, and the urgent need for action.Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. during their lifetime. It doesn’t discriminate by age, background, or lifestyle. Yet early detection remains one of our most powerful tools. Regular mammograms, self-exams, and knowing your family history can save lives.This month, we honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and support the fighters still in the ring. But awareness alone isn’t enough. Let’s turn compassion into impact:Schedule your screening or encourage a loved one to do so.Support organizations funding research and patient care.Share stories that educate and empower.Behind every pink ribbon is a person—a mother, sister, friend, neighbor—whose life may depend on what we do today. Let October be the month we don’t just wear pink, but live it.

Too often, we speak about how 'resilient' kids are without realizing that this is only because they are still in a state of growth and are generally more hopeful for the future, especially before puberty hits. However, realistically, kids are mostly hypersensitive and vulnerable and need more support than we think.
