Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast.

Kelly here.

And we are finishing up this week's interview with Dr. Sharon Malone.

This next section is all about the difference between health span and lifespan and joy.

How we have more joy in the health care system.

Being black women, we understand how potentially dangerous the medical system can be for us.

And so we've talked about how to empower ourselves, tell our story, how to demystify and erase the myths around health care

that so many of us carry. So as always, I want to talk about joy and how to live joyfully.

Because after all, we're not just trying to live forever or live to 90 or live to 100. We're

trying to live well. And this is the section of the conversation where we get

into that. Once again, I cannot implore you to come back to these episodes, to take notes,

and to grab a copy of grown woman talk. You know, I don't write this hard for many things,

but I am writing hard for the power of this book,

what it can do for you. The fact that it's told in a way that's entertaining and storytelling,

it really does feel like you're talking with your auntie. Grab this book, take control of your

health. And we loved having Dr. Sharon. And she was so generous with her time that one of the things we're

looking to do too is maybe there's questions that have come up for you as you've been listening

to this week's episodes. If there are, let us know. Because we want to have Dr. Malone back

for a kind of Q&A where we ask her some of the common questions we keep hearing over and over from you,

the audience. So this is your opportunity to ask a doctor, ask a woman's advocate, all about some

questions you may be having around health care, around how you should navigate your doctor's visits,

about what's normal or not normal
