Dancing Through Breast Cancer Into Purpose with Podcast Host Jenny C. Cohen

Send us Fan MailA breast cancer diagnosis can feel like the end of the story, but sometimes it is the interruption that saves your life. I sit down with Jenny C. Cohen, an award-winning dancer and author, to talk about what happened when her career was taking off and everything suddenly stopped. Her path moves through chemo, fear, grief, and a hard reckoning with control, then lands in something quieter and stronger: presence, surrender, and purpose that is rooted in love instead of performance.We also go into the parts people rarely say out loud, like the anger that can rise when your child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the spiral of asking “why,” and the moment you realize your vigilance cannot keep everyone alive. Jenny shares how embodiment and movement helped her stay connected to God when words felt impossible, and we explore why many high achievers use busyness to avoid what is actually being asked of them.From religion trauma to rebuilding faith around relationship, we talk about daily practices that support spiritual growth and mental clarity. Sleep becomes a surprisingly practical theme, including sleep apnea, bedtime resistance, and why rest is not laziness, it is leadership. If you have been stuck in fear, doubt, or over-functioning for everyone else, this conversation is a direct invitation to pause for presence, stop piloting other people’s planes, and remember you are already beloved.Subscribe for more conversations about purpose, healing, and faith, and if this helped you, share it with a friend and leave a review so more people can find it.To connect with or purchase any products or books from Jenny C.
