Send us a text

In this episode Whitney is joined by her good friend Tanya to discuss women's health. Tanya is a doula, a non-profit founder, and a public health professional currently pursuing her graduate degree. You may recognize Tanya from a between-season crossover event where Whitney released an episode from the Tea with Tanya podcast for our listeners! This time Tanya joins us in the "flesh"!
Tanya shares her journey and insights into tackling women's health issues, advocating for menstrual health awareness, and breaking stigmas surrounding reproductive health, especially within the context of being a Black, Caribbean immigrant woman in the United States. The dialogue covers Tanya's personal experiences with health challenges, her proactive approach to wellness, and her efforts to educate and empower through her platform, Tea with Tanya, and her nonprofit organization, Scrub Life Cares.
Key topics include the importance of advocacy in healthcare, navigating professional life as a woman with health challenges, and the significance of mental health days. Tanya emphasizes the value of effective communication and support systems in advocating for health needs. The conversation also touches on broader issues like the lack of comprehensive health education and the need for greater empathy and understanding within the healthcare system towards women, especially those of color. Tanya's personal mantra, "nothing happens before its time," encapsulates her philosophy of perseverance and timing in life's journey.
This episode is a deep dive into women's health from the perspective of empowerment, advocacy, and resilience, highlighting the need for open conversations, education, and supportive communities to navigate health challenges and advocate for better healthcare experiences.
Learn more about Tanya through her podcast, the TEA with Tanya Podcast, and the non-profit she founded, Scrub Life Cares.
