Jeanette Bennett is the founder and editor-in-chief at Bennett Communications, parent company to Utah Valley Magazine, BusinessQ Magazine and Utah Valley Bride Magazine. She’s also moderated gubernatorial debates, numerous business panels and is a regular guest on HuffPostLive. Jeanette is one of the hardest working women and mothers I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, and while she’s certainly seen many of the ups and downs of starting and running her own business while raising five kids, she’s always been a positive and inspiring leader in her community.

Jeanette’s positivity continues to inspire her community as she has recently opened up about a new chapter in her journey - her battle against thyroid cancer.

In today’s episode of “Courtney, Beyond the Cake,” Jeanette tells us about her journey so far, and how not receiving the miracle she hoped for helped her to discover the desire for the next right step.

Today, as this episode launches, Jeanette actually goes into her first surgery to remove the tumors on her thyroid. Jeanette, our prayers and thoughts are you with you.
