Summary

Wanting privacy and feeling shame when it comes to our bodies, tends to go hand in hand. Often an embarrassing or life changing healthcare issue comes up and we really don't want to face a doctor, or we just want to talk to someone who has been there. On this show we are joined by Beth McNaughton, VP at Inspire to talk about finding a safe community to share our healthcare concerns without the fear of our data or privacy being stolen.

0:00.0	Welcome to Sex, Body and Soul. I'm Kate Roberts, founder of the body agency, and on this show, we talk about the marvel that is our bodies, what they can do and what they need to thrive.
0:13.0	Ladies out there, our time is now. Let's get to it. When we think about our health care, it would be so nice to have a friend or an expert that you
0:22.7	can talk to to make sure you're okay. Our next guest is Beth McNaughton, and she is vice
0:30.1	president of community and partnerships at an organization called Inspire. We're very excited about
0:35.8	Inspire right now because it's a community where you can
0:40.0	privately go online and talk to other people who might be experiencing what you're experiencing
0:46.3	health-wise. And we've just launched our partnership. So I'm super excited to have on the show,
0:52.2	Beth McNaughton. Beth, welcome to the show. Thank you. Glad to have on the show, Beth McNaughton.
0:55.9	Beth, welcome to the show.

1:13.1	Why don't you make a quick introduction of what you do down at Inspire and what the platform actually is? Sure. I am the vice president of community and partnerships at
1:19.9	Inspire and we are a vital health community for people who want to discuss any health related
1:25.8	issues online. We've been around since about 2006, and we are really
1:31.2	trying to help further medical progress and introduce people to research studies and clinical trials
1:36.9	if they're interested, and give them a place to talk to other people who have a similar diagnosis
1:42.1	or are going through a similar part of their life. Now, what I love about the platform is it is a completely private community. You have to
1:53.3	subscribe to be part of it. And, you know, us as women and our bodies and as girls, we carry a lot of questions. We carry a lot of shame.
2:05.1	And we really need a community to be able to talk to. Now, traditionally, that's been within
2:11.1	families, you know, over the ages. You would learn a lot from your grandma. Or not.
2:16.5	Or not, yeah. Hopefully from your mother, maybe your sister, maybe a school friend.
