Description
You can't have integrity without grit, right?
Our podcast examines hot topics related to health and healthcare. We shy away from nothing, discussing topics such as mental health, social justice, women's health and women's rights.
We are story-tellers and love hearing how healthcare has impacted individuals' lives. We want to discuss the good, bad and ugly .
We also provide a platform for empowerment and shared experiences, where we represent voices that have been silenced, underrepresented and marginalized --so they can share their stories of hope, change and inspiration.
Episodes are informative, gritty, humorous and educational.
