About this episode
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we sit down with nurse practitioner Monica Carter to tackle some of the most pressing — and too often silenced — health issues affecting women, especially Black women. From navigating the rollercoaster of menopause and demystifying hormone replacement therapy, to understanding the nuanced connection between hormones and breast cancer risk, Monica breaks it all down with clarity, compassion, and clinical insight. But the conversation doesn’t stop there. We also confront the alarming statistics around Black maternal mortality and why the U.S. healthcare system continues to fail Black pregnant women at disproportionate rates. Whether you’re experiencing hot flashes or just hot with frustration about the state of healthcare, this is a must-listen that informs, empowers, and advocates for change Learn more about your ad choices.
