As I move closer to 8 years cancer-free on May 24th, I feel the symbolic pull of the number 8—an ending and a beginning, all at once.

Starting from the words, You have stage IV cancer, I received the call to live. I began treatment on January 6th, 2017, full of trust and curiosity, with an inner gratitude and knowing that every moment from here on out was precious.

On April 20th, 2017, I had my last round of chemo.
On May 24th, 2017, I had my double mastectomy—and I was declared cancer-free (shocking the world of science!).

What followed wasn’t just the end of treatment—it was the beginning of life. I felt like Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally when he said:

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

I couldn’t wait to start living—with me. With all the superpowers that had been revealed: Love. Gratitude. Trust.

These last 8 years have shaped me in ways I never expected. They’ve torn me apart and put me back together. And now, as this cycle completes, I’m excited to embrace what’s next, with all of you, and everything we’re learning together—and everything we are still becoming.

But before stepping forward, I’ve been spending time with her—my 14-year-old self…with love and compassion with who she was, and who I am now. 

She left home to be an Olympian gymnast. Driven. Focused. Hungry to prove her worth. She didn’t know where she was going, only that she had to get somewhere. To be enough. To feel safe. To succeed.

She rushed. She pushed. She achieved. But she was never quite at home.

What I know now because of her – Wisdom often begins with knowing what doesn’t work.

What I know now because of her – Chasing worth doesn’t bring peace. Rushing doesn’t bring happiness. Perfection doesn’t bring love.

What I know now because of her – Our heads are smart. But our hearts are wise. Our hearts hold truth—not the kind you debate, but the kind you feel and know.

What I know now because of her – There’s nowhere to go but within. The love I was seeking was never out there—it was waiting for me inside.

And why am I telling you this? 

These last 8 years have been a return. Not just from illness, but from all the ways I had abandoned myself.

And I’m not alone in this. I believe we are all being asked to return in some way. Especially now, in a world full of fear, uncertainty, and not knowing what’s next.

Everywhere I look, I see people afraid of the future. Afraid of where we’re headed, and wondering if we’ll be okay.

I get it. I feel it too. And I still know:

Fear is a visitor, not a home.
Love is our home.

It's okay to be lost. But ... do you know what you're looking for?

This is the reason and passion behind Love, Zero Negative—why I created a company filled with accessories that serve as daily reminders—reminders to love, to trust, to live with intention—and to give.

Because love isn’t just something we feel. It’s something we wear, something we share, something we can choose, every day.

Because when we intentionally wear love, when we give love, when we are surrounded by love—we remember who we are, and why we’re here.

Let’s not chase, rush, or run away—because we really can’t run away from fear. Just like we can’t run away from cancer. We can’t run away from what exists.

But we can honor it. We can allow it to exist. Accept that it's only a visitor, an opportunity to break us open and lead us to more of what we are looking for—peace, love, and rock and roll. 😉

Anyway, I’m officially saying THANK YOU to Season One. I loved it, two thumbs up! 👍👍

You’ve given me everything I needed—the lessons, the pain, the joy, the healing. The foundation has been built—stronger, wiser, grounded... and oh so grateful.

GOOD NEWS – Season Two has been picked up and is coming soon!

With three new pillars guiding the way: Intention, Patience, and Abundance.

Intention: Living in alignment with what matters most, heading into heart.
Patience: Trusting the unfolding. Knowing we are exactly where we need to be.
Abundance: Knowing life is full, rich, and enough—choosing to create and give from overflow, not lack.

So... how was Season One for you?

All I can say is... I cannot wait for Season Two!💫

Love,
Jenn
