Episode Title:

"Thyroid Cancer Awareness: Why Professionals Should Prioritize Their Health & PTO"

In this special episode of Jess Get Hired, I’m opening up about something deeply personal—my recent diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma, a type of thyroid cancer. As Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, I want to share my journey and talk about how important it is for busy professionals to take time for their health.

So often, we overlook small signs and symptoms, writing them off as stress or simply getting older. But my story is a reminder that even minor changes in your body can be signals of something more serious. In this episode, I talk about my experience, why we need to prioritize our health, and why taking PTO without guilt is so important.

Key Points Covered:

• My journey: How a routine scan led to my thyroid cancer diagnosis.
• Common thyroid cancer symptoms and why they’re often ignored.
• The importance of early detection and routine checkups.
• Why professionals need to take PTO and prioritize their health, guilt-free.
• Important facts about thyroid cancer: It’s more common than you think and often treatable when caught early.
• Action steps: How to perform a self-check, schedule annual visits, and use your health benefits to take care of yourself.

Important Thyroid Cancer Facts:

• Thyroid cancer is the fastest-increasing cancer in both men and women.
• Women are three times more likely to develop thyroid cancer.
• Most people don’t experience noticeable symptoms until it’s advanced.
• Early detection through routine checkups can make a huge difference in treatment outcomes.

Take action today by scheduling that overdue checkup, performing a neck check, and making your health a priority. Don’t wait for something to go wrong—listen to your body and make time for yourself.
