109: Life After Grade 4 Brain Cancer with Humor and Hope | Jennifer Dickenson

Diagnosed in 2011 at the age of 44⁣, Jennifer Dickenson, a successful lawyer, shares her journey and transformation as a result of brain cancer. Jennifer received an official diagnosis of Glioblastoma Multiforme (grade 4 Brain Cancer) and in this interview, she covers the pressures of managing a large law firm during the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and how it took a toll on her health. This led to a crucial wake-up call and a reevaluation of life's true priorities. Jennifer's story is not just one of survival but of embracing faith and family over professional accolades. Jennifer's story is a heartfelt testament to the power of personal growth through adversity.

Lifestyle changes, focusing on diet, breathing, and the calming effect of a balanced life are also highlighted. Jennifer shares insights from her own book and invites listeners to explore further learning opportunities.
