    Doing Hard Things- with Jaclyn Johnson

    “Just living life…with cancer in my body.” That line stopped us cold. Jaclyn Johnson joins us—an accomplished, driven woman used to building, leading, and powering through. Then cancer entered her body and upended everything. In this conversation, she shares what it was like to keep doing life as usual while carrying a diagnosis she didn’t choose—and how cancer forced her to reckon with uncertainty, fear, and a loss of control she couldn’t outwork or outmaneuver. We talk about:- the mental weight of carrying cancer while still showing up- the statistic that still shocks us: 1 in 8 women- the moment she realized, “I can do hard things.” This episode is real. It’s raw. It’s empowering.And it might be exactly what you needed today. Have an episode idea?
