Identity and Resilience in Education and Healthcare

Hey BA Fam!
This week, Mandi is diving into a conversation that every woman needs to hear. She’s joined by two powerhouse doctors—Dr. Uché Blackstock, author of the New York Times Bestselling book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons With Racism in Medicine, and Dr. Jessica M. Shepherd, author of Generation M: Living Well in Perimenopause —for a raw, real, and eye-opening talk all about women’s health, with a special focus on menopause, healthcare equity, and what it really means to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office.

These two trailblazing women break down the myths around hormone replacement therapy, open up about their personal journeys in medicine, and don’t hold back when it comes to calling out the racial and gender disparities baked into our healthcare system. From fighting bias in exam rooms to why representation in medicine literally saves lives, this episode is packed with truth bombs and takeaways you don’t want to miss.

Whether you’re navigating midlife changes or just trying to get the care you deserve, consider this your crash course in taking charge of your health—and your story.
