As we wrap our heartfelt chat, Jenny's life post-diagnosis paints a portrait of true transformation.

When life throws you a curveball, hitting it out of the park takes on a whole new meaning. That's exactly what Jamie Vaughn and I tackle in our latest heart-to-heart. From our personal battles with breast cancer to finding new purpose, we lay bare the transformative journeys that reshaped our lives. Jamie, the vibrant voice behind "Test Those Breasts," joins me to share her powerful shift from school teacher to unwavering health advocate, revealing the raw emotions and the undeniable strength that comes with facing our mortality.
This conversation isn't just about the scars we bear; it's about the incredible tapestry of support and understanding we weave together. Jamie and I delve into the emotional rollercoaster of treatments, the complexities of managing a barrage of well-meaning but often misguided advice, and the profound connections built within the cancer community. We highlight how even a simple "I'm here for you" can carry someone through their darkest days and how educating ourselves and others can be a beacon for early detection.
Our episode reaches beyond the personal stories, extending an open hand to listeners who've walked this path or know someone who has. We trumpet the call for stories of triumph, struggle, and everything in between, knowing that each voice adds to the chorus that uplifts and emboldens others facing similar battles. Join us in this celebration of resilience and in charting a course through the often turbulent but ultimately empowering seas of life after a breast cancer diagnosis.

When most people face a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, they might feel like their life is over. But not our guest, Chuck Keels. He took this dire prognosis as an opportunity to change his life, his mindset, and most surprisingly, his faith. In an awe-inspiring twist on a classic heart-rending tale, Chuck recounts his journey of being diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer and how his encounter with Jesus during a hospital visit changed him. This profound experience not only sparked a miraculous recovery that left his doctors astounded but also inspired him to push past limitations and take an active part in his healing process.
Chuck's journey didn't stop at his personal healing. Armed with renewed faith and unyielding determination, he and his wife used their experiences to fuel a movement called "Get Up and Live". This initiative aims to help others navigating the treacherous waters of cancer and other severe medical conditions. Through this platform, they provide resources, strategies for managing treatment side effects, and most importantly, they teach people how to use the power of their mind to fight their physical battles.
But their fight against cancer doesn't stop there. Chuck and his wife have also established the Living Hope Cancer Foundation, a haven that offers cancer coaching, support, and resources to patients and their families. In a world often overwhelmed by the dark cloud of cancer, the Kiehls stand as a beacon of hope, proving that even in the face of terminal disease, one can find happiness, make a difference, and yes, even live a fulfilled life. Listen in as they share their empowering journey and inspire you to "Get Up and Live", no matter what life throws your way.

Let us make your dreams a reality! -
This was my Facebook post for today and I thought it was better than show notes. (Let's Connect on Facebook
5 years ago today you introduced yourself to me, my family, and friends.I just wanted to say Thank You for stopping by and impacting my life the way you did!
I know you thought you were sneaky creeping into our lives without showing signs of a lump but what you didn’t know is that I was (still am) in tune with my body and I knew something was wrong after having 6 days of anxiety and high blood pressure and knowing my hormones were out of whack which is what got me to the doctor in the first place. After a routine women’s wellness exam & mammogram, as well as an MRI & biopsy you were discovered!
You also didn’t know who you were messing with because I don’t play games but what I DO do is wake up every day on a mission of Changing The World, One S.M.I.L.E. At A Time
You allowed me to find my Purpose at the intersection of Passion and Pain, which has allowed me to make an impact on others on so many levels and also help others navigate their journey as well!
You introduced me to so many important lessons like:
1. Listen to your body
2. How to slow down and enjoy the moments in life
3. How there is a HUGE gap between the medical and fitness industries
4. That other women and families don’t need to fight this alone
5. How to say NO to people and things
6. I have a gift that wasn’t being used to its fullest potential
7. And SOOO MUCH MORE!
So what I’ve done with those amazing lessons in the last 5 years is:
1. Had the Policies & Procedures changed at the hospital that lost my Lymph node which has never given me total clearance that cancer has not spread
2. Raised & donated over $15,000 for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer & Bluewater Babes
3. I’ve been an advocate and a voice for others to know it’s OK to fire your medical team if they aren’t a good fit for you
4. I’ve launched a podcast (Bustin' Out of Breast Cancer) to have a platform to share my story and the stories of so many amazing Thrivers
5. Became a Certified Cancer Exercise Specialist to be able to help others navigate their recovery from surgery and treatment
6. Met so many amazing women that have been diagnosed and have become friends
7. Found so much confidence & clarity in my life
8. Took back control of my life
9. Incorporated into my Real Estate business plan that every transaction I close, a portion of my commission will go back to a breast cancer organization to help others
10. And the list goes on!
Because I will find the silver lining in everything!
Hitting the 5 year cancer free milestone is a big deal and it seemed like it would be forever until I got here and trust me when I tell you the wind has been taken out of my sails on many occasions. I have even felt like a weeble wobble many times but as we know, weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down!
Rest assured my comeback is much greater than my setback!
Thank you breast cancer, I’ll take it from here!
