Unglamorous Realities of Treatment: A Conversation with Charlene Stevens Jenkins

Unglamorous Realities of Treatment: A Conversation with Charlene Stevens Jenkins

Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicks off with a woman who doesn’t do pity—she does purpose. Charlene Stevens Jenkins is a two-time breast cancer survivor, a widow who kept walking when the road fell out, a licensed clinical social worker serving military veterans, an author, and a Celebrate Recovery leader who tells the truth with tenderness. We talk diagnoses, grief, grit, and the quiet disciplines that rebuild a life. This is not a pink-ribbon photo op; it’s a masterclass in hope with work boots on. Expect straight talk, holy courage, and practical steps you can take today—for your health, your healing, and your people.
