072: Imerman Angels: Giving the Gift of Hope and Joy to Cancer Patients with Jonny Imerman

Joy In The Journey

Even though symptoms and conditions are always unique, there is one thing most people who’ve recently been diagnosed with a difficult condition have in common: the search for hope and answers to many questions.

Today's guest, Jonny Imerman, has made it his life mission to bridge that gap; through his non-profit, Imerman Angels, Jonny has connected thousands of cancer survivors with recently diagnosed cancer patients. After getting diagnosed with cancer at 26 and going through years of complicated treatments and surgeries, Jonny found purpose and meaning in his traumatic experience by helping others.

Through Immerman’s Angels, he helps those in the thick of it (including caregivers) navigate the uncertainties of a difficult reality, changing lives through human connection.

In this episode, we discuss the benefits of opening up during trying times, overcoming survivor’s guilt, and the joy that comes from helping others. And as a helpful reminder: don’t forget to schedule your annual check-ups, they could help save your life.
