Staying on Your Feet with Beautiful Jena
Beautiful Jena is a 28-year-old mom of three little girls, who found a lump while breastfeeding her newborn baby. Thinking it was a clogged duct, Jena was tested and was found to have Stage Three triple neg breast cancer. Jena leads us to the moment where she was officially diagnosed, and how, while undergoing treatment, she decided to turn her fear and pain into a platform to spread awareness about the disease and being your own advocate. She shares the value of community and having people in your corner when you're in a scary situation, and how she strives to be authentic and real with others about her journey, choosing vulnerability when showing the good things and the hard things—because comparison culture can get the best of all of us.

Quotes
"I think I just something clicked in my head that was like, Okay, I got this, I'm not going to let this affect [my daughters'] day to day life. I'm going to fight this. I'm going to spread awareness." —Jena Losurdo
"I think it was just important for me to let myself first feel those feelings like fear, sad, mad, all those feelings. I needed to let myself feel them, I needed to let them sink in." —Jena Losurdo
"I need to be able to channel my own emotions and be able to tell others that I have these emotions, that I go through this as well, because there might be someone sitting at home thinking, Oh, all her posts are happy, she looks fine, and it might be discouraging. Almost like, Why do I feel this way and she doesn't feel this way? So I decided that if I feel something, if I feel sad, I'll say I'm feeling sad. If I'm having a hard time, I'll say I'm having a hard time." —Jena Losurdo
"When I was initially diagnosed, I remember crying out to God, 'Just please heal me, just please, I'll do whatever you want. I'll go tell everybody about you, and I'll spread the word of God.'" —Jena Losurdo
