In this video, Michelle shares something she doesn’t often talk about — why she still chooses to send her son to daycare while living with cancer.

From the outside, people see her running, parenting, staying active — and they wonder why she doesn’t just keep her children home full-time. What they don’t see is what it costs her body to “chase joy” for 24 hours straight, or why school and daycare have become part of her healing, her rest, and her way of preparing her children for whatever the future holds.

Yes, Michelle has cancer. And yes, she sends her son to daycare. Not because she doesn’t want to be with him — but because she wants to give him something that will last, even if she’s not here. Routine. Joy. Connection beyond just her.

She’s faced a lot of judgment for that choice. Maybe you’ve felt that judgment too — or maybe you’ve questioned someone else’s choices. Michelle’s hope is that by sharing this part of her story, we can all move with a little less judgment, more open eyes, and lead with heart.

This is Michelle’s story. Yours may be different — and that’s okay.
