Together, they discuss lessons learned and unlearned, the importance of self-reflection and mentorship to process personal narratives and biases, and how Jen's connection with her ancestral community has shaped her understanding of culturally appropriate care in occupational therapy. Tune in to discover how hope, belonging, meaning, and purpose have become central to her work.
