I sometimes come Sunday I you know, have to say no, I'm not, I'm not good at saying no either. You know you're not lucky, as I've said, you've earned people love you and want to donate and help you, and and mummies, which has obviously been a portal, but they feel they can do something for you, but on an individual level, that emotional self-care.
Carla Haddan wears many hats. She's a successful career woman, a devoted wife, and a loving mother. But what truly sets her apart is her unwavering dedication to charity work, driven by personal battles and a heart full of compassion. In this heartfelt episode, Cynthia Morton sits down with Carla to uncover the story behind her journey of hope and healing.
Diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013, Carla faced a tough battle when her son Billy was just five years old. This wasn't her first encounter with cancer, as she had already lost her best friend, Helen, to breast cancer in 2005. These experiences shaped Carla into a fierce advocate for cancer patients and their families. She became an ambassador for Mummy’s Wish, a charity supporting mothers fighting cancer.
Carla's fundraising efforts alongside Damian Hackett have made a significant impact, raising $550,000 to equip Brisbane’s Wesley Breast Clinic with digital mammography machines. In this episode, Carla opens up about her mental health struggles, the challenges of caregiving, and the importance of emotional self-care. Her story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of giving back. Whether you're dealing with similar challenges or simply seeking inspiration, Carla's journey will leave you moved and motivated.
