"You Might Not Have Been Born for This, But You Almost Died for It"

"You Might Not Have Been Born for This, But You Almost Died for It"

When Gina Jacobson beat stage 4 colon cancer after being given just 1-2 years to live, her husband said something that changed everything: "You might not have been born for this, but you almost died for it." Now she leads Working with Cancer, helping organizations support employees through their darkest hours. Because surviving wasn't enough—she needed to ensure others wouldn't face the isolation she did.

"Before cancer, I was always talking about potential," Gina reflects. "Now I have a cancer experience, and suddenly what I'm pitching is the most important pitch of my life."

In this powerful moment from Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Gina reveals why some survivors can't walk away from their experience—they transform it into purpose.
