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

Summary: 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 about pregnancy, parenthood, and infertility, and discuss tips for first trimester care, how to know when it’s the “right time” to try to conceive, and rethinking how we speak to people about having kids. Later, Kate and Doree talk to Dr. Kristian Henderson, public health professor, wellness expert, and founder of BLK + GRN. Dr. Kristian talks about sharing a gratitude practice with her fiancé, how her commitment to healthy living led her to start her own business, and why she’s passionate about bringing self-care to women of color.
