Episode 34: From Cancer Diagnosis to Health Coach and Clean Environment Advocate, with Jennifer Smrz

Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning-in today for a new episode of Entrepreneur Mindset-Reset.

In today’s episode, I have the honor of speaking with the wise and resilient Jennifer Smrz, a compassionate career consultant and health coach. 

She shares tips on how to live your best life, being yourself, and slowing down to enjoy the journey. After receiving a breast cancer diagnosis in April 2019, Jennifer realized that life wasn’t stopping for her, no matter what was going on. With two busy, athletic boys, she managed to keep life moving through five months of chemo, three months of radiation and four surgeries. But when the pandemic came to Canada, she realized how important it is to slow down and check-in not only on her physical and mental health, but on the health of the environment inside her home. Jennifer is now on a mission to educate people to help them understand the importance of cleaning up the products they use in their homes, and what they put on and in their bodies. 

Jennifer’s journey through cancer treatment and multiple surgeries shifted her outlook to being sure to go with the flow and enjoy the experience. She shares her best pieces of advice, including the importance of self-care. 

She says:

Make sure, whatever your goals, that you work-in time for yourself. Take deep breaths, go for walks, eat something nourishing, whatever it is. Make sure you take time for yourself. 
Be who you really are. If you’ve got your own business or you’re working for someone else, make sure you live with compassion and be true to yourself.
When you’re looking at your target market, find your niche and identify their needs so you’re able to offer a solution for them. This will make your life in business easier, and will help you be fulfilled in your work.

Jennifer also shares about her struggle with anxiety and depression, a conversation we all need to normalize and keep having. Her story is powerful, and I’m certain you’re going to learn a lot. So, grab a beverage or a snack and settle-in to listen to Jennifer and her amazing journey.
