In this episode of Rewired Minds, Bri Salsman interviews Kelly Glover, a nurse navigator at the Brain Tumor Network (BTN). They discuss Kelly's personal journey as a cancer survivor and her passion for helping patients navigate the complexities of brain tumor diagnoses. The conversation covers the origin of BTN, its personalized navigation services, and the importance of community support. Kelly emphasizes the need for advocacy in improving access to care and clinical trials, and they explore the future aspirations of BTN in expanding its reach and resources for patients. The episode highlights the significance of empowering patients and fostering a sense of hope within the brain tumor community.

Bri will be participating in Coaching for Causes for another year. Each May, certified coaches from various fields donate our time for 1:1 coaching sessions. Clients make a donation to a selected cause in exchange for a session. This ensures that 100% of proceeds go directly to the nonprofit. I'm raising funds for Northwestern Medicine Malnati Brain Tumor Institute. The best part is that every coach chooses their own cause, so you can donate to another coach's cause and still coach with me or vice versa. Visit coachingforcauses.com for details.
