Today, Dr. Carla Burns is joined by a very special guest and a good friend of hers, Jenny Mulks! Jenny is the CEO and founder of Along Comes Hope, a nonprofit organization that provides support to families of children with cancer. As a cancer survivor (and thriver!) herself, she is incredibly passionate about empowering patients and caregivers to thrive through a cancer diagnosis.
With over 20 years in the medical arena, Jenny also serves as a cancer coach in addition to being a TEDx speaker, an international author, a board-certified practitioner of hypnotherapy, and a practitioner of NLP and Time Line Therapy. As well, she is a patient advocate for policy change, awareness, and education.
Jenny’s story is powerful, moving, awe-inspiring, and simply incredible. She is so open and vulnerable in sharing her personal story in today’s episode. She dives deep into sharing her wisdom around the profound power that is hope; key pieces that led her through her journey of thriving through cancer; and key takeaways in how you can lead with your ‘why,’ take action, and serve others.
“We all have the ability to take something like cancer and turn it into ‘can-serve,’ because we are all here to serve one another and to help the next one in line.” ⏤ Jenny Mulks
