Jennifer Dunlea

Jennifer Dunlea is an advocate and storyteller with cystic fibrosis (CF). She received two double-lung transplants and survived transplant-related cancer by age 23. Jen uses her voice to uplift, educate, and connect through her social media platform, @jencantbreathe, and her podcast, The Sick Chick Hour. Her work shines light on the realities of chronic illness, making others feel seen, empowered, and less alone. When she's not advocating, Jen finds joy in creative projects, historical documentaries, and meaningful time with loved ones.
