So Jen is letting me share this episode where she interviewed me talking about what really lights me up and the smiles I get to bring to the kids' faces.

Hi friends. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm so excited today to introduce to you my friend Casey Taton, and she has so many amazing qualities, but she's also the founder of Little Moments, big Dreams, celebrations, and she is the founder of the Inner Spark Podcast. I hope we get to talk about all of that stuff, but thank you so much for coming here today, Casey. Thanks for having me. I thought maybe you could tell everyone a little bit about Little Moments, big dreams, and then we'll talk about your podcast. Yeah. So I do parties for kids. I run an organization doing parties for kids in the hospital. Mm-hmm. And we have officially been doing it for like six and a half years now. Um, and it just started with, I fought my own medical battle and, um, you know, being in the hospital. And the feeling of what it does to you. And I spent birthdays, I spent Christmas, I spent holidays. Um, but just, you know, the feeling of losing out on life. And then you're stuck in this room and I. Um, most of mine, so what I remember of mine was as an adult, I was actually there as a child with spinal meningitis. Mm-hmm. Um, but I was a baby, so I don't remember that, like subconsciously. Mm-hmm. Um, but I do hear my family talk about it. And so what I remember is when I got sick as an adult and it totally just stopped my world. And so when I started getting better and started healing, um, I traveled for my, um, for my condition. I had to get an official diagnosis out of my state. So, um, and then I had my surgery in into other states, and so I was traveling a lot as well. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And so just the feeling of being there alone and then not really having anything and just, you know, they want you to feel good and be there, but it's such a gloomy place. And so when I started feeling better. I was like, I don't know what my purpose in life anymore is. Um, my condition stopped my job from working in the OR to not having a job. And so I was like, what, what do I do now? Like, I'm healing and I don't wanna lay in this bed. So, um, I had a friend who was doing birthday parties, um, for kids up there. Through a different group. And, um, she had reached out to me and asked if I wanted to help. And I was like, well, yeah, of course. Like I was so excited. This gave me a purpose, right? And so I went up and helped her and she, I remember her telling me, Hey, um, I'm not really getting a bunch of feedback from nurses not really getting all like very far with them. And she had a son and she was like, do you just wanna take over? And I was like, well. I mean, sure, I'll try. And so, um, I, I honestly had no idea what I was gonna do, where I was gonna start. And I made a post and I started talking to the nurses and they were like, well, sure, um, what else do you wanna do besides birthdays? And I was like, oh, there's more like, yeah. And so they, it just kind of went from there. And so I have a great group of volunteers, and now we do all kinds of parties. We do, um, milestone parties. Um, we have a lot of kids here who are battling cancer, um, or in, or other conditions that require long periods of treatments. And so I think it's important to celebrate the milestones along the way as well as. Birthdays. Um, for the ones who beat cancer, we do a big party for that. Um, we also do sunshine bags because there's so many kids in there that maybe they had their gallbladder taken out, maybe they broke a bone, or, um, you know, we, there's just all kinds of con conditions and so they've been there for a while and they need some joy. So. My mission is to bring smiles, not only to them, but to the parents, because we often forget what the parents are going through during this time. Mm-hmm. And so, and a lot of times the siblings get to celebrate too. So that's, that is fun. Um, they just, you just get lost in you. It's almost like you feel like you forgot, forgot about, and you're just stuck in this place that's not very happy. Right. And so, um, we also do holidays. Um, we do all kinds of other fun events up there. Just random events being bring like, you know, the fire department up there, different groups like that. Um, paw Patrol came up there one day and so, yeah. Um, just stuff. Um, we did arts and crafts for a while. And that was to give the parents a break so they could actually like send their kid down there and then they could go get a break, go take a shower, go eat, go do something. So they're not feeling like they're leaving their kid alone, but their kid's doing something and we're with them. And so, um, I did that pre covid and then Covid hit and of course it, the parties, I got to continue the parties, but. The events, um, stopped for a while. So now we are past covid and you know, we still go through like RSV season, all those seasons where we can't do a lot. Um, but I still get, bring smiles to kids' faces and, um, so I just, um, we're gonna, we're an organ. Organ, sorry. We are an organization, so I rely on the community for all of our donations. Um, I go out and speak to, you know, schools, church groups, boy scouts, girl scouts. Um, I have some women quilters that make blankets for us. Um, just any type of group, um, businesses. We have a snack cart at one of our hospitals. Um, what do you all know, what it's like to eat hospital food if you've been in the hospital and or how much the vending machine is? And a lot of times, like when I was there, my mom wouldn't eat. She didn't wanna leave the room and then nothing looked good. But if someone were to bring her something or bring her a cart by, she would be more willing to eat a snack or something if it was there. And so, um, we have a lot of businesses that sponsor that. Um, we do two hospitals. We also do, um, kids. We have a lot of kids that travel. So if they are going to travel and we know about it, we've done like yard signs, we've done like welcome home signs. Um, I know what it was like to travel and, um, so like being welcome home is a really cool thing. Or just thinking like getting a gift bag before you leave to know like, um, and I want, and I wanna make it a community event. I make it a community event. And so I want these kids to know. That other kids are thinking about them and that we're all cheering them on. So, yeah. Whoa. Oh, well first of all, the Amma, the most amazing part about all of your story is that you took some, you saw a mead and you filled it. You saw something that can really make a difference and, and now that's your life's work. Yes. It's, I love that. I love that you didn't focus on. Just the, the hurting part. Nobody, you know, people are gonna be in the hospital, unfortunately. Kids. Right. And, but, but you don't have to, it doesn't have to be so bad. And I Right. Oh my gosh. What an amazing thing. A really impactful thing to do. And how did, how did you learn to like, go up and, and speak to people? That probably took a lot of courage to go speak to businesses, let alone all of the families. Um, yeah. Um, for a person who doesn't like to talk and I get nervous anytime before I do an interview for a podcast, you think I would be more comfortable. But I think it's because, um, you know, when you're speaking from the heart, it's, and you get to tell somebody, I, as an adult was in the hospital and I know what it feels like and I wanna bring joy there. So when I get to say I can relate in a way. Mm-hmm. I think it makes it easier for me to tell my story and then really connect them to what's going on. Well, I think that people respond to authenticity and when you're speaking your truth that way, yeah. I mean, it is hard. It's, it's hard to, it's for so many people that I speak with, it's hard to talk about their experiences. Especially if you've been in a hospital or searching for a diagnosis because there's nothing more terrifying than that. And yeah, the fact that, that you're using it as fuel makes it so much better. Oh, I just love it. So, um, you said you have two hospitals right now that you work with? Yeah, we have, um, two hospitals here in Wichita that have kids in them. Um, I live in Kansas, so, um. In just our town. We have two hospitals. Um, so we do quite a few parties a week. What's your favorite kind of party to do? Do you like the birthday parties, the best or celebration ones? Um, and I don't know, that's a, that's a good question. All different, right? Yeah. I mean, I do love the birthday parties because I know. I've gotten a lot of really good feedback on birthdays. Mm-hmm. It takes, because when we do the parties, we, we do a gift bag. Mm-hmm. So, um, if I, I try to personalize something. We do plates, napkins, banners. We try to make a personalized poster for them, and get something they like, get like a craft or something. So it gives them something to do and then they also get the room decorated. And we also, if they can have cake. Then we get a cake. So it takes a load off of the parents. Mm-hmm. And it's not like my kid doesn't get to celebrate because he's in the hospital and I don't wanna leave. Mm-hmm. And so I think it's just, um, yeah, the power of that, of doing birthdays is that they don't, their birthday isn't getting skipped. They still get to celebrate with the staff. And also it changes that connection a little bit. Great. They're not such the scary person anymore. Like they have a little fun in them, so I know. Yeah. So, and, and when you really feel like you matter, you are, you're more in, invested in, you know, maybe having those conversations with, with staff members, and I'm sure that helps for the parents as well. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder, um, what keeps you motivated to keep doing this? Do you get a lot of good feedback? I do. Um, I think, yeah, the power of connection and watching these kids grow, because we do also like, we'll set up, um, our table at, there's like a cancer event they do every year and they celebrate the kids or, um, we'll set up our table at different events. Mm-hmm. And. We also have a hockey team here, um, for the cancer kids, and they get to wear, like, they wear the kids' names on the back of their jerseys. And so it's, um, just seeing these kids outside of the hospital too, the ones that can make it, it just lights my heart up when they see you and they know who you are. And, um, yeah, it's just the power of them. Like running up to you, it's like, it's almost like you feel like you're a celebrity when it's like, oh. You know, I just gave you a birthday or you know, I just brought a smile to your face on the day you were struggling. Mm-hmm. And so, but it's just the power. They remember who I am and then they know who, you know, the families know who we are and just the good feedback we get. Um, also a little bit of a turn on it, a sad little bit of a sad story. Um, I, when I got into this, I never thought. Which is crazy'cause I worked in the, or prior to getting sick. Mm-hmm. Um, so I, I worked in the hospital from a very young age and we all know death happens, but when I was thinking about celebrating these kids, I didn't think about any of them dying. Right. And so, anytime I think this is not going right, or like I get frustrated or I get overwhelmed, um. I have, I got to go to one of the girls' funerals. Um, was the family invited me, she was actually away when she passed away, and we got to celebrate her last birthday. She was in Kansas City and she wanted, um, a drawing pad and we knew that her ca she had beat cancer and had come back. And then she was getting, fighting all these other conditions and. So she loved drawing and so, um, we raised enough money to get her like an iPad. Oh yeah, that's probably like one of the biggest gifts. Um, one of my volunteers did it like as a birthday fundraiser for herself and donate it so we could send it up there for her to be able to draw. Um, and so, um, we, I lost two girls about the same age at, in like, like a two week timeframe and. And so I, it kind of, it makes you think so the other mom, um, they are not from here. They travel and we have a lot of families that travel. And when I found out her daughter passed away, she sent me this long message and she still, um, every year on her daughter's birthday, she will make a post about how we celebrated her daughter's last birthday. And it's just something you take for granted because I didn't know that it was gonna be her daughter's last birthday. Right. You know, she had reached out, it was a Saturday and she was like, Hey, I'm sorry to bother you on the weekend. Do you think there's any way you could, it's my daughter's birthday. My, I don't even know if the mom had a car here, like so she could leave. And I knew that she said there's her friend is coming in town to surprise her, but we don't really have anything to decorate the room. And I was like. Sure. You know, and she's like, I know it's a Saturday. I'm like, it's, it's fine. Um, and so I went and got them pizza and a gift and cake and I got to take it up there and just see her daughter and her mom talks about the smiles and the joy that she forever gets to hold in her heart. Mm-hmm. Of her daughter's 16th birthday. Oh yeah. So I think that's the power that keeps it going is knowing that, um, a lot of us, um, like you and I have talked about facing medical battles and how tomorrow's not guaranteed, um, but it really hits home and just keeps me motivated to keep going. That, um, if I can bring a smile, that's what that family needs to remember. Cool. Working with kids is, um, I used to, when I was in high school, I volunteered with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Um, and we would, we had camps every year, or they had camps every year. And I was a counselor and, um, you know, at first year, a junior counselor and you get to know these kids and then you, through the years and, and it's incredibly awful how many of them passed away? Mm-hmm. It is equally amazing that, that you get to be a part of their lives even for a tiny, short time. Yeah. And I imagine that every day must be so meaningful for you doing that job. Yeah, it is. Um, that's really cool that you did the camp that you did camps too helped out because we just don't ever think about what the power of another person can bring us. How much joy someone else can bring us. Mm-hmm. By what we think is something really small. Right. It really is something really big and impactful in their life. Yeah. Because it's not, it, it was fun for me. It wasn't like hard, you know? Yeah. But, but these people that I met there, I, I wish they were still around today, of course. But, um, we got to have, I got to have them in my life and, and I'll be forever glad about that. I think one of the coolest memories is that. They also get to be a kid when they're at these things. Oh yeah. So I always try to think when we do events and stuff, it's like the identity of being sick gets to go away for a little while and they just get to be a kid and have that fun. Mm-hmm. Because when you're sick, like everyone treats you as the sick person and you're in the hospital, so you know you're that much removed. Yes. Were you in the hospital a lot as a child? You said that you, you were sick when you were a baby and then again as an adult. Yeah, so I, it was more when I was, um, I had spinal meningitis and thankfully didn't have, um, I don't remember it. I was only a couple months old and was there for a while and then, um, I did battle like migraines. When I was in high school. Um, but it was more when I was outside of high school, so like more in my college. Mm-hmm. And then when I started my career as an adult, um, that's when I thought I had the best life going on. You know, you think, oh, I have this dream. I was like, I have this dream job. Like I have friends, I have a house. Like all the things that I, I thought I was on the right track and then my life just stopped. And so, um. More of it that I consciously remember was as an adult. Okay. But I think I remember it's just the, like, the impact that it has on your family. Absolutely. Like even as, um, so it wasn't, I, I'm not married and so it's so like, you know, my mom would come up there with me and so that pulls my mom away from like holiday events and, you know. And my mom, my mom's birthday is the day before mine. And so like, okay, well if I'm there on my hosp in the hospital on my birthday, that means my mom is spending, you know, usually the day before is her birthday. We're spinning our birthday in the hospital. And so, yeah, I just think that it's, it's a lot still as an adult because I de depended, still depended on them even though I was an adult. That's really hard. That's really hard. That's one of the things that, um, but for me, I think I've told you, I had this big list of things that I had to relearn how to do, and, and I had a big list of things that they told me I'd never be able to do, um, like a written down list. And, um, being dependent on people for so many things, it, it's demoralizing. It's depressing. It's, and you have no choice. That's the hardest part is that you can't make yourself better. You can't, you know, there's nothing you can do. No. And you're grateful, but at the same time, like you're so sick that you don't have, I feel like it doesn't get expressed enough to them, um, how grateful you are. Because at some point I also went through like an anger phase. So. You know, I was super thankful for everything my parents were doing. Mm-hmm. But I was also not, probably not the most pleasant person to be around. Didn't have any energy. I didn't, you know, like I'm having to ask for everything. And we're taught at a young age that you grow up to be independent. Right. You start doing things, tying your shoes, like all these things. Cooking for yourself, cleaning for yourself. Mm-hmm. You know, showering yourself. And when those things get taken away, um, you, you just lose your whole self. Like, who am I? Mm-hmm. And it just, it's, it's heavy. It is. And it's, and it is hard on the family members too. You're all just, there's no instruction book. You are all just, okay, so how can I get through this hour, this day, this holiday, this, you know, season? Yeah. As quickly and easily as you can. Yeah. Yes. And I thank you. Forget to live in the moment. Mm-hmm. It's something that I learned as I've, you know, healed more. Mm-hmm. Is that I was just like, just get this through. Just get over this. Let's get through onto the next thing. Because I wanted to rush everything. Um, I, not even, this isn't even part of my condition, but as an adult, I had my tonsils taken out. Okay. Um, well, part of it is because of my condition, but. So with my condition, I don't drink a ton of water. And so they sent me home, you know, it's an in and outpatient surgery and, um, I didn't, you have to drink medicine every two hours. So my mom like stayed down here as an adult with me, waking me up, setting an alarms every two hours to get the medicine in me. Mm-hmm. Um, but then, then she would go to work during the day and. I would get anxious, like, okay, now I'm alone. Now I'm scared. I have to do this by myself. And I wasn't getting enough fluid in me and I knew that was the one thing they said is you have to stay hydrated. And so, um, I actually ended up back in the hospital because I couldn't get the fluids down. Me even keep enough. Yeah, I have a porta cath. And so, um, that's how I got a lot of fluids and so. Like what some people would say, a simple surgery, like having your tonsils out wasn't simple for me. Mm-hmm. And then it was also, um, you know, Thanksgiving was like two weeks away when I had a, and I was like, I'll be fine to eat, I'll be great. And no, I had, I spent like, I think a week and a half, two weeks in the hospital recovering from my tonsils. Oh yeah. Wow, that's interesting. I've been, um, something weird. My conditions exa my autoimmune disease is exacerbated by stress. So the holidays are, I'm always in the hospital for holidays. Yeah, same. I'm never in there for very long, but, and thankfully with the new medicine I've been on, it's been a couple years, but it's, it's interesting that holidays and holidays are so much pressure. Anyway. They are. Oh, so because you're a person who really seems to live every day at up to the most, like you really seem to, to not be one of those people that disregards the privileges that they have as, as a person who is out of the hospital now and, and is able to really do all the things mostly that you want to. Yeah. Are there things, do you think that, that now you're a person that takes more risks? Or are you still kind of a safe person? Um, I think within the last year I've grown a lot Uhhuh, um, because I honestly depended on nausea medicine, in nausea shots, uhhuh. Um, so thankfully my parents just, you know, by the grace of God, I bought a house when I was young. Everybody said that's crazy that you would live two houses down from your parents. Um. I didn't know at the time I was gonna get sick. Mm-hmm. Um, but I was able to keep my, yeah. So I was able to stay in my own home. Mm-hmm. And so, um, I think traveling bothers me. I get scared to travel without my family because, you know, I. I do sometimes have to take a nausea shot. And so, um, and I don't drive after I take'em because, you know, they can make you tired. Just all the things. And so I recently just went on the trip with my boyfriend, um, and I said that's, well, I had went last year in May, I went to Kathy Hiller's summit. That was the first time I'd flown alone and traveled alone since I had been sick. Yeah. And so that was huge for me. And then, um, I went on a trip with my boyfriend. We went to Colorado for four days and I. I, we, we can joke about it now, and he'll, he'll tell you, I had complete on anxiety, not only about being cold because I'm, I'm cold and it's part of my conditions. I get really cold. I don't like being cold. Mm-hmm. Um, and so, and then we were going snow skiing and I'm like, I'm a water person. I'm a sun girl. Like I, but that's his happy place. And so, um. I think I panicked about everything. I could panic about my clothes. What am I gonna do? What, what if we, you know, it's 11 hour drive, how am I gonna spend 11 hours in a car? And, um, but I was able to work my way through it and I think it was really fulfilling to me to able to do it and then go ski. Um. So, yeah, it will. I think it's just, um, over the past year, I've really expanded myself and challenged myself to really live as far as like living in that scarcity. Mm-hmm. Because I did that for so long of. What if I get sick? Like if I'm driving my own car somewhere, it's a little bit different. If I get sick, like I can always call my mom, please come get me. Like, you know, I'm, I'm 41. My parents, I think, I think so thankful for them. My grandparents, my family. Mm-hmm. Traveling with my family's a little bit different, but when you're with others and you, um, don't have your car, don't have something, um, I'm having to let go of the power, like letting go of control. Mm-hmm. So within the last year, I think I've overcome a lot to allow myself to really live like that with letting go of things like that. Oh, that's huge. That's huge. Because it is, it's, it's, and it's, that's the kind of thing that nobody talks about when you're, when you're a person who has medical conditions or even if it doesn't look like on the outside. Right. You know, I need a place where I, I found that I couldn't stay. We have a, not a huge family, but our family, um, you know, sometimes travels around also. Yeah. And I can't renting a house with someone else. Absolutely not. I have to have a place to, to, it's almost like I am powering down, you know, like often I take a nap or I have to, you know, I have. Like, like you're saying, I'll have to have shots and I don't need people around for that, or I don't want to. Right. You know, be sick or, and, and nobody ever talks about how difficult those little pieces are. Yeah. And I think some of it's because we, on the outside, we look like normal people. Right. Right. You know, I have, we have bad, we have some pretty, I call'em gnarly scars. I used to be scared to show my scars, uhhuh, but now I try to wear them with a badge of honor. Like, yes, I've been through this. Oh, really? But also because we look like a normal person. Mm-hmm. You're just, the expectations are like, why is she doing this? And I'm the same way. I need the peace and quiet to myself, right. To come every day, to come back to myself.

I wanna thank Jen for really digging into this with me. just go check out her podcast, resilient with Jen Chambers. she talks about fighting her chronic battle, and just chronic illness altogether. The power of at the end, how we talk about, we often get judged because we just assume people are normal and we need to break that. We need to stop that now and the fears that we live with daily that no one has any idea or even going through our head or the things that we have going that have happened to us and no one knows, you know, because I talk about everybody has a story. But I also really wanna thank Jen for getting into the part of what really truly lights my heart up you guys. Doing the parties for the kids in the hospital. It lights my heart on fire. I encourage you, if you're here in Kansas. little moments, big Dreams, celebration. We are an organization. We do multiple parties a week of all different types. We were doing multiple events. and actually you don't even have to be in Kansas.
