Episode Summary:

What if midlife isn't about going back to who you were, but discovering who you can become?

In this episode of The Antifragility Reframe, Dr. Frank L. Douglas speaks with Jenny C. Cohen, a board-certified integrative neurosomatic practitioner and CEO of Dance to Heal Wellness. Jenny shares how her experience with breast cancer transformed her relationship with her body and led her to help women reconnect with themselves.

They explore the idea of a “second spring”—a time when women can redefine their identity, listen to their bodies, establish healthier boundaries, and move forward with greater self-awareness.

Jenny also shares personal lessons about caregiving, self-care, and why caring for yourself is essential to being there for the people you love.
