October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In this episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym, we discuss the intersection of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB). Rachel Adaline, HR Manager at The Financial Gym, is joined by Jessica Whorton, a breast cancer survivor.
Today, as a Director of Business Development, Jessica champions workplace inclusivity, particularly regarding disabilities and cancer survivors. She draws from her experiences to advocate for a more equitable and compassionate professional world. Jessica recognizes humor’s incredible healing power. She shows us that even in the most challenging moments, laughter can be a powerful tool, reducing stress and creating connections that bridge the gap between patients, families, and caregivers.
Her positivity, humor, and unwavering determination make her a beacon of light. Join us as we explore her remarkable journey, the history and importance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and how we can create a more welcoming workplace for all.
