Episode 39: Self-Care Isn't Selfish with Dr. Kristian Henderson

“Investing in yourself does not make you weak. We have to redefine what it means to be strong.” - Dr. Kristian Henderson

This week Kate meets a Forever35 fan IRL(!!!) and Doree recaps her current reading list and makes peace with doing less while not feeling well. Then they answer listener questions pregnancy, parenthood, and infertility and discuss tips for first trimester care, how to know when it’s the “right time” to try, and rethinking how we speak to people about having kids.

Later, Kate and Doree talk to Dr. Kristian Henderson, public health professor, self-care expert, and founder of BLK + GRN. Dr. Kristian talks about feeling unfulfilled even when she did everything “right,” how her commitment to healthy living lead to her business, and why she’s passionate about bringing self-care to women of color.
