58. Pink Ribbons, Real Talk: Faith, Leadership & Life After Breast Cancer
In this Breast Cancer Awareness Month conversation, Jeannette and fellow survivor and leader Courtney Malengo open up about the day everything changed, the “conveyor belt” of cancer treatment, and the resilient, ongoing mindset work of survivorship. From sudden biopsies and surreal parking-garage moments to radiation fatigue and endocrine-therapy side effects they name the grief and the gratitude, often felt in the same breath, and the faith that carried them through.
Boundaries, stress, and the high-capacity leader’s temptation to overfunction are all topics they address in this honest conversation. You'll also hear practical tips to support those navigating cancer; what not to say; and why early detection and self-advocacy matter.
This honest, hope-filled episode invites every woman to schedule the mammogram, speak up for her health, and receive God’s gift of abundant life, today.
