In this soul-nourishing season opener, I’m joined by Dr. Cassandre Dunbar—a woman who wears many hats with grace: physician, professor, mother, and the visionary behind the award-winning podcast Be Well, Sis. Together, we unpack what wellness really means for Black women beyond the buzzwords.

This episode is an invitation to redefine wellness on our own terms. We talk about the pressures to perform while depleted, the subtle grief of self-neglect, and the radical act of rest.

Cassandre shares her journey from burnout to balance, offering grounded advice and sisterly truth for any woman who has ever felt like she had to choose between showing up for herself or showing up for everyone else.

Whether you are deep in your healing era or just learning how to pause, this conversation reminds us that wellness is not a trend; it’s a reclamation.

"Alright, sis, let’s talk about it! 💬 Black women have always been the backbone of our community—holding it down with strength, love, and unmatched resilience. This episode is for us: celebrating our legacy, unpacking our challenges, and reminding each other why we’re unstoppable. Tune in for some real talk, laughs, and a whole lot of love. 💜✨ #ForTheCulture #BlackWomenLead"
