On Topic, Off Script host, journalist Brian Mastroianni sits down with Jennifer Fisher.

Celebrity jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher joins the show to share how a very personal health journey changed her life — it led directly to the founding of her eponymous brand and is a story she hopes others can learn from. 

At age 30 she was diagnosed with a desmoid tumor — a rare, aggressive, locally invasive soft tissue tumor. It can affect all areas of your life (chronic, long-lasting pain, loss of physical function, potential disfigurement, and for some people, all of this can feed directly into mental health concerns like depression and anxiety). For Jennifer it's been quite the journey. An unusual bump on the chest was misdiagnosed as being just a cyst, which led her down the path of second opinion, more accurate information, and ultimately a correct diagnosis. 

Jennifer has now joined SpringWorks Therapeutics to raise awareness and share resources by way of DesmoidTumors.com.

As she tells others with a similar story,  "you are bigger than your desmoid tumor."

Brian chats with Jennifer who shares how this health journey impacted everything from motherhood to founding her brand, what you need to know about Desmond tumors, and advice for how to navigate some of those unexpected challenges life throws your way.
