Today on In the Black, we are thrilled to welcome Jenn Greenhut, the founder of Love, Zero Negative and the nonprofit The Zero Negative Foundation. Jenn is a stage IV triple-negative breast cancer survivor who turned her challenging diagnosis into a powerful journey of healing and hope. After initially facing the uncertainty of her prognosis, she chose to embrace a positive mindset and even learned to love cancer as part of her healing process. Jenn is now dedicated to spreading love, joy, and support to other cancer patients and survivors through her foundation. Alongside her husband, Larry Tollin, she co-authored Everyone Needs a Larry, a book sharing their unique experience of navigating love, marriage, and cancer from both the patient and caregiver perspectives. Jenn’s story is one of resilience, empowerment, and love, and we can’t wait for you to hear her share her wisdom on today's episode.

This week, we have the privilege of sharing the inspiring and raw story of Elaine. Her childhood was shaped by mental illness, lack of family connection, and a chaotic environment. Raised without the guidance or support many take for granted, Elaine navigated her youth feeling untethered and untamed. Despite the odds, she grew into a woman of profound self-awareness, learning to forge her own path and find her own sense of security and validation.

With one sibling tragically lost to depression, Elaine carries a deep understanding of how trauma shapes mental illness. She speaks candidly about the struggle of growing up without a support system, her brother’s life within the system, and how it ultimately led her to question what it means to truly grow. Join us as we explore Elaine’s journey, marked by resilience, self-discovery, and the unrelenting pursuit of inner peace.
