In this powerful episode of Transforming 45, host Lisa sits down with Jennie Dale, the Executive Director of Dense Breasts Canada, to share her transformative journey from a breast cancer survivor to a passionate advocate for women's health. Jenny opens up about her personal experience with dense breasts—an often-overlooked risk factor in breast cancer—and the urgent need for early detection and comprehensive screening.

Drawing from her diagnosis in 2014, Jennie explains how her anger and sense of injustice fueled her mission to educate women about breast density and the systemic healthcare inequities they face. She discusses the challenges of accessing proper mammogram screening, especially for women in their 40s, and highlights the growing availability of self-referral options across provinces. Through her advocacy, Jenny empowers women to take charge of their health by prioritizing early detection, asking the right questions, and mobilizing community support.
