I would like to introduce to you an incredibly strong and amazing woman, Jenn Rozenbaum.
In July of 2017, Jen felt something unusual in her breasts. After taking a photo, she actually noticed a shadow in her breast.
Two days later, Jen was diagnosed with stage two B invasive lobular carcinoma. Otherwise more simply put she had breast cancer.
Two weeks later, she had a bilateral mastectomy followed by eight rounds of chemotherapy and multiple reconstruction surgeries.
Jen knew immediately upon her diagnosis that she had to give her disease purpose.
After she told all of her close friends and family about her cancer, she took to social media to announce her diagnosis and created a YouTube channel to document her journey that has helped inspire and support other people with cancer.
In this podcast, Jen shares with us how her real journey began after the cancer treatment as she learned how to back into her everyday life. She talks about her amazing photography business and how being able to shift her perspective helped her battle her illness.
Join us for this week’s episode and learn from an incredible woman with amazing insight and knowledge.
