When Debbie Hutcherson Evertte speaks about loss, her words carry the weight of personal experience. As a pastor and advocate for grief support, she joins me to share deeply moving stories of her own life, marked by the loss of family and a profound personal health struggle post-hysterectomy. Together, we face the unpredictable tides of grief, acknowledging how our childhood memories shape our reactions to such pivotal moments in our lives.

The resilience of the human spirit shines through as we converse about the trials preceding major surgeries and the importance of advocating for our own healing. Hearing another guest recount her experiences with early menopause post-hysterectomy, we confront societal misconceptions about femininity and sexuality, reinforcing the value in being well-informed and proactive about our health during times of change. It's a discussion that underscores self-care as an act of strength, not selfishness.

Our dialogue takes a serious turn as we address the stark inequities in women's healthcare, particularly for black women in rural communities. I share my own encounters with the healthcare system, emphasizing the critical need for self-care and spiritual wisdom to guide us through systemic challenges. Entwined with personal narratives and a call to action, this episode stands as an empowering beacon for self-advocacy and the necessity of community support in the face of adversity.
