At HSPTools.com, I’ve always believed in the strength, resilience, and compassion of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) community.
That’s why today, on January 3rd 2025, I’m calling on that compassion to support Jenn Granneman – an icon who has done so much for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and Introverts.
If you’ve ever felt understood through her words, found solace in her insights, or been inspired by her dedication to advocating for HSPs, now is the time to give back.
Jenn Granneman is battling cancer and is scheduled to undergo chemotherapy treatments in 2025.
She needs our help to navigate this challenging journey through cancer, and together, we can make a profound difference.

Here’s a Message by Jenn Granneman from her Socials
“This isn’t the post I expected to write on New Year’s Eve.
A month ago, to my complete shock, I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. I was busy chasing after my 3-year-old and getting ready to launch my conversation course for introverts.
Then, one phone call from my doctor upended my whole world. He told me there is a large cancerous mass in my colon, and the disease has likely spread to my lymph nodes.
At first, I was devastated.
I couldn’t get it out of my head that this was it — I was going to die at age 42, with so much left that I wanted to do. My mind went to one of the darkest places it has ever been.
As a single mom, I was terrified not only for myself but also for my young son. But then I realized I’m still here. And if I’m still here, I can fight. So I’m going to fight with everything I’ve got.
But the road ahead will be hard.
I’m facing a year of chemotherapy, radiation, and eventually major surgery that will likely leave me with a permanent colostomy bag.
This photo was taken on Christmas Day, after my port surgery. A port is a small device implanted in your chest to make chemo easier. I was supposed to start chemo this morning, but it has been delayed by a week or two because I’m now dealing with pneumonia. (If you have young kids, you know how much crud is going around!)
I still plan to keep running IntrovertDear.com and working on my conversation course, even if progress is sporadic and slow.
As an introvert who sometimes struggles to make friends and ask for help, I’m starting to see my work in a new light. Now more than ever, I realize how important it is for introverted, shy, and sensitive people to have the skills they need to build meaningful relationships and a strong social support system.
Unfortunately, my ability to work in 2025 will be limited, and my insurance won’t cover all the life-saving treatments I need.
My wonderful friend Kate has started a GoFundMe to help me. If you’re able to donate, it would mean so much to me.
Wishing you a joyful 2025. (And if you’re reading this… schedule a colonoscopy! It’s really not too bad.) “
