Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri welcome Dr. Kemi Doll, a physician, surgeon, researcher, advocate and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb & Your Survival Guide to Healing to sit down and talk to us about the importance of caring for our wombs at all stages of life. Dr. Kemi provides an insightful and informative lens as to how the impact of adequate care – and the neglect of such care – can shape Black women’s reproductive health and overall quality of life. Far too often, Black women’s reproductive health is reduced to the facilitation of producing babies and little more. However, there is a vast array of reproductive issues that affect Black women and those issues are not given the spotlight that they need – particularly uterine cancer, the fastest growing cancer in Black women. Dr. Kemi gives a historical review of how we collectively arrived to a place where not only is Black women’s maternal health in peril, but we are now facing aggressive concerns in other womb matters. The good news is that with once you are armed with good information you can turn those debilitating aches and pains into a plan to advocate for your health and your needs. Lady, you’re going to want to pay close attention because Dr. Kemi is going to lay out the tell-tale symptoms that let you know you’re experiencing abnormal womb health. Good health isn’t given to you, it’s something that you tend to and advocate for your entire lifetime. We know as a Black woman you may be accustomed to pushing through all the random and weird body sensations you may experience but it’s time to tune in and make sure that you’re listening to your temple and treating it as such. We’re sending you love and positive energy, lady! Quote of the Day: "To all who cramp, bleed, and endure- and those who love us. It's time for a new story." – Dr. Kemi Doll This episode is brought to you by VB Health, supplements that work. Check out Soaking Wet for vaginal health.

Hey lady! If you’re anything like us then you know that all of your goals and dreams are within your reach; but, if you’re anything like us you know that you don’t have to burn out to make those dreams happen. In this one beautiful life you get to live do you want to spend it on the dream chasing treadmill, or are you ready to be a human being rather than a human doing? This week, Terri and Dr. Dom discuss the life-changing magic of deciding that being content with the life you built as it is now. This doesn’t mean that you give up your aspirations for the life you envision for yourself, but it does mean reframing the path to that life so that you don’t relinquish your peace of mind and your good health. Dr. Dom and Terri dive into the six components that can help you audit your ambition and what’s driving you. When you look at your life how do you really feel? Often, when we have big dreams we take the adage, it’s not the destination, it’s the journey a little too literally. Sometimes the forward momentum can blind us to the positive gains we have now. Being mindful and present is the gift itself, so why can it be so difficult to slow down enough to enjoy it? Terri and Dr. Dom offer clarifying questions and perspectives to help you gain a healthy view on life and when good enough is actually great! Lady, life is what you make it so stop and smell the roses, tell the people that love and support you that you appreciate them, and keep doing you!

We’ve built a beautiful community of sister friends who have released the mantle of perfection and are living their best lives just as they are. Quote of the Day: “The goal isn’t to stop becoming.
