Episode Trust what you feel - Jess's Story
“They told me it was the good cancer.”
But what does that actually mean when you’re 29, you’ve just become a mum, and suddenly you’re hearing the word cancer?
In this episode of In Her Season, Emily, joined by Alana, sit down with Jess to talk about her diagnosis with papillary thyroid cancer shortly after becoming a mum, and everything that came with it.
This conversation is about so much more than cancer. It’s about motherhood, fear, identity and learning to trust yourself when something doesn’t feel right.
Jess shares what it was like navigating a diagnosis during a season that was already changing everything, finding her voice within the healthcare system, and advocating for herself and her body.
It’s an honest conversation about the things no one prepares you for, and what happens when one of life’s biggest transitions collides with something you never saw coming.
