Talking to Partners & Kids
About Your Cancer - It Takes Balls ft. Renee Calhoun
As a therapist, one of the most common questions I hear during life-changing health challenges is: "How do I talk to my partner and kids about what's happening?"
In this episode of It Takes Balls, I share my perspective on navigating the difficult conversations that come with a cancer diagnosis. Whether you're speaking with a spouse, partner, or child, these conversations can feel overwhelming, emotional, and deeply personal.
The goal isn't to have the perfect words. It's to create a foundation of honesty, safety, and connection so your loved ones don't have to navigate uncertainty alone.
Join me as we discuss practical ways to communicate with your family, support emotional well-being, and strengthen relationships during one of life's most challenging seasons.
