Early in life, Cheryl Vienna took the road that is often the safest traveled. Following her mother’s advice, Vienna set aside her creative aspirations and went to Purdue University to study engineering. While it was her first love, she continued to rise in the professional ranks. Life, no matter how successful, never comes without challenges. In 2009, Vienna was diagnosed with Stage IIA breast cancer. Receiving the diagnosis just three days before her wedding day — she decided only to tell a few people and continued with the wedding as planned. A year later, while she was going through chemotherapy, her job offered her a buyout. That moment would forever redirect her path. “When you have any type of life diagnosis like that, it makes you intentional,” says Vienna. On this episode of the Jackie Rae Show, Vienna explains how she is finding success in the entertainment world later in life. 👉 Make sure you're tuned in and ready to engage!
