This episode digs into the story of Michaelagh Broadbent, her family and her writing. Michaelagh is an American-born writer based in Edinburgh, wife to Harry and mother to two beautiful boys aged five and two. In 2009, at 25, Harry was diagnosed with a grade three malignant brain tumour and in a matter of weeks had brain surgery and radiotherapy, being told the tumour was life limiting. They got married and had their first child, Harry junior, and five and a half years later, in 2016, the tumour began growing faster again. A second operation followed, then chemotherapy, before Michaelagh gave birth to their second child, Alex. Today, they are an active and busy family, balancing all the demands and excitements of childhood, school, work and adventures, with one exception; the time they have left as a family is uncertain.Michaelagh's approach to having to brain cancer in her young family is one which I am still thinking about. Inspired by her eldest son Harry, she wrote a children’s booked called ‘My Daddy is my Superhero’, as a tool for starting the conversation about serious illness and death with young children. It was just last month released so please check it out and share with anyone you know who might benefit. If you enjoy this conversation please reach out to Michaelagh and look up her website at michaelaghbroadbent.co.uk where you can order the book.

Conversation with Michaelagh Broadbent

It's been another busy week getting my book ready which will shortly be ready on amazon for Pre Orders THIS WEEK which is super exciting.  With this in mind, I felt it would be great to get a fellow author on the podcast for episode 4.  An author who really inspires me and has created something magical out of a really tricky, sad situation.…
