I Broke Up With Cancer – NYC

May 14, 2024 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm

For 40 years, Wendy had the privilege of working as an actor on stage, screen, and television. She played a rattled flight attendant with Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm; was featured on Oprah as a comic, and toured the country as a stand up for three decades. As an actress, she’s played nuns, nudists, psychics, therapists, and borsht belt comics. Then, when she turned 54, Wendy was handed the most challenging part of her life –  the role of a pancreatic cancer patient.
Eight + years later, she is alive and thriving, excited to share what she’s learned with anyone who needs and wants to hear the lessons. Her keynote talk, I BROKE UP WITH CANCER, is an uplifting, funny AF, life affirming testament to honoring and celebrating our lives.
Wendy says; My life is not what I imagined, but I can unequivocally say it is better post cancer, and more vibrant than ever. Turns out after playing all those parts, the role I enjoy the most is the part of a thriving human being!
