In this deeply honest and transformative episode, Jenn Greenhut shares a story that began in quiet emotional suppression and perfectionism—and evolved into a journey of awakening, trust, and healing. As a young elite gymnast training for the Olympics, Jenn was conditioned to dismiss her emotions, believing that worth was only found through flawless performance. She trained intensely, travelled globally, and learned to disconnect from her needs—until a knee injury forced her out of the sport. That moment, she now says, was her body making the decision she couldn't. Years later, she poured her heart into building a family, enduring three rounds of IVF and facing the crushing weight of disappointment, self-blame, and loss. And just when she thought she had no more to carry, she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer—with no warning signs. The news shattered her. She feared she was dying, and her mental health sank into a quiet depression masked by outward functioning. But something shifted. When a compassionate doctor explained that becoming pregnant would have put her life at risk, Jenn realized that the very thing she had seen as a personal failure—infertility—was actually protecting her. What once felt like life punishing her was, in truth, it was life saving for her. That realization sparked a new lens of gratitude. She began leaning into what remained, rather than what was missing. She pivoted from fear to faith, from despair to trust. Cancer, she says, became her healer. She began to understand that even the darkest days hold the gift of being alive. Her story is a powerful reframe on survival, identity, and the internal superpowers we all carry. Her key message to the listeners is: life is always working out even if it feels it isn't; sometimes we just don't know why things are happening in the moments it is happening; always believe in the power of the thought that life is working for you—this will help you grow, learn, evolve to be your best self; you can bring yourself back to love and light.
