Listen to Charlene’s interview!
Episode Description:
Charlene Wheeless used to describe herself as the “typical type A personality.” That changed, however, after she was found to have breast cancer in February 2017 and had nine surgeries in three years. When she left her corporate job, she didn’t know what she was going to do but then realized she had a story to tell. She started off writing a blog, which quickly turned into her book, “You Are Enough!” Her book tells the story of lessons she has learned through her job, life and cancer journey. Part memoir, part motivational guide, and a clear roadmap for thriving in career and in life, YOU ARE ENOUGH! draws from Wheeless’s experiences climbing the corporate ladder and battling breast cancer to illustrate life lessons for others. On this episode we will discuss the book, and also what it means to be diagnosed with breast cancer as an African-American woman, a community which is desperately underserved. Join us!
