When Charity DeLeon’s son Tobias was diagnosed with leukemia at just 18 months old, life as she knew it changed forever. What followed was 850 days of hospitals, chemotherapy, medical trauma, and the unthinkable: her son coding and needing to be resuscitated after total organ failure.
In this deeply moving episode of The Mindful Haven Podcast, host Lori Griffith sits down with Charity to talk about the emotional, physical, and spiritual toll of pediatric illness, not just on the child, but on the entire family. Charity shares what it was like to shut down her business, manage full-time care for two children with life-threatening conditions, and fight to stay afloat mentally while everything around her was collapsing.
She also opens up about the miracle of her son’s survival, his near-death spiritual experience, and the healing she found through therapy, food, sunlight, and community. From dark nights of the soul to breakthroughs through Mindful Haven’s programs, Charity’s story is one of grief, growth, and profound transformation.
Charity also shares the deeper “why” behind her passion for plant-based nutrition, how she’s building Charity’s Vegan Kitchen, and why food is more than just fuel—it’s a tool for healing.
