In this powerful episode, Andrea is joined by Jennifer Hindman — Vice President and Hospital Administrator at Community Health Network — as she shares her deeply personal journey of resilience.

After facing a stage 3 ovarian cancer diagnosis, the loss of her son, and the passing of her sister—all while leading at the executive level—Jennifer had to redefine what it meant to move forward.

Through grief, she found strength. Through uncertainty, she discovered the power of vision. Jennifer opens up about what it takes to lead while navigating life’s hardest moments, why choosing joy is an intentional act, and how envisioning the future—even when it feels impossible—can be the key to healing.

Tune in for a conversation about perseverance, purpose, and the undeniable power of hope. 🎧
