Take a listen to my conversation with Jennifer Fisher for my podcast — On Topic, Off Script.
In this episode, Jennifer shares how a very personal health journey changed her life — it led directly to the founding of her eponymous brand and is a story she hopes others can learn from.
At age 30 she was diagnosed with a desmoid tumor — a rare, aggressive, locally invasive soft tissue tumor. It can affect all areas of your life (such as chronic, long-lasting pain, loss of physical function, potential disfigurement, and for some people, all of this can feed directly into mental health concerns like depression and anxiety).
For Jennifer, an unusual bump on the chest was misdiagnosed as being 'just a cyst,' which led her down the path of seeking a second opinion, more accurate information, and ... ultimately ... a correct diagnosis.
She’s now joining SpringWorks Therapeutics to raise awareness and share resources by way of DesmoidTumors.com. As she tells others with a similar story, 'you are bigger than your desmoid tumor.'
Jennifer shares how this health journey impacted everything from motherhood to founding her brand, all you need to know about desmoid tumors, what's new with her Jennifer Fisher brand and Jennifer Fisher Kitchen, and advice for how to navigate some of those unexpected challenges life throws your way.
