Jessa de la Morena - Cervical Cancer Survivor & Founder of U Are The Hero

On today’s episode I’m chatting with Jessa de la Morena, cervical cancer survivor, Global Director of the Transformational Leadership program at Amadeus, and founder of U Are The Hero. Jessa and I talk about some similarities between quarantine in Covid and being in treatment, how she was first diagnosed with a rare form of cervical cancer, parenting two children while going through treatment, and how she dealt with the cancer coming back. Jessa also opens up a lot about how her cancer experience transformed the way she shows up in her every day life,  how it led her to have a big personal transformation due to tons of introspection and supplemental practices she did while in treatment that helped with both physical and mental side effects of cancer. From realizing that there aren’t many positive places online for cancer patients or people dealing with adversities in general, she created U Are The Hero, an online community where people can share their stories to give others hope and inspire to own your wellbeing, take action, and be your own hero. You can check out U Are The Hero online and share your own story at uarethehero.com and follow the community on Instagram @u_are_the_hero.
