The gap between where you are and self-love is self-care.- Dr. Michelle Robin Young mother and Senior Operations Manager for the First Hand Foundation, Shanna Adamic, knew that something was wrong with her health but various misdiagnosis she received from dehydration to sinus infections were keeping her from knowing the truth that she had a rare benign brain tumor called an  Acoustic Neuroma. Then, one day she and her husband learned about  Maria Menounos' brain tumor diagnosis and noticed similar patterns and symptoms with what Shanna was experiencing. Discussing those very symptoms with her doctor set her on a new journey of healing and saving her life. As part of Brain Cancer Awareness Month for May, we are honored to share Shanna’s voice on Small Changes Big Shifts. As you listen to this episode, Shanna shares:  The importance of being an advocate for your own health and digging for the right answers when you feel like you don’t have them yet. How she came back stronger after surgery with a drive to be a voice for better health. What she does on a daily basis to continue to give herself the self-care and self-love she deserves. The life transformations she has experienced with family, colleagues, and on her own. How to be there for people who are supporting their loved ones through difficult times.   Listen and discover how you can build an emotionally and physically healthy community in your local area. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! - Rocky Balboa

Ep. 193 - Shanna Adamic

Shanna Adamic is a Senior Operations Manager for First Hand, Cerner Corporation’s corporate philanthropy dedicated to improving the health of children, families, and communities around the globe.  She fundraises alongside Cerner associates, Cerner business partners and key members of the Kansas City community in order to create a healthy tomorrow around the world. Recently, Shanna helped raise over $1.8M for First Hand through sponsorships and special events and in 2017 was selected as a “Cerner Masters” award recipient because of the world-class experiences she creates within the foundation.  Through her sixteen years with First Hand, Shanna has remained devoted to her other interests including cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs for 8 years while she traveled the world entertaining U.S. troops, where she was also selected as the 2007 Pro Bowl Cheerleader.  Shanna and her loving husband are raising two beautiful, crazy toddlers (Ava 4, Jonah 3) and this past year Shanna was diagnosed with a rare benign brain tumor called an Acoustic Neuroma. The tumor was golf ball-sized and life-threatening as it was pressing into her brainstem. Shanna and her support system were determined to find the right care plan and that is exactly what they did. After a nearly 12-hour surgery, her surgical team removed 98% of the tumor and Shanna was determined not to let that moment define the rest of her life. She was committed to come back stronger than before, and that is exactly what she did.
