Featuring insightful conversations with celebrity guests, the show blends humor, honesty, and relatable stories, giving listeners a sense of community during this pivotal life stage.

This week, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Kendra Segura—OB-GYN, reality TV alum, mom, and passionate public health advocate. You’ve seen her on Married to Medicine: Los Angeles, but off screen, Dr. Kendra is on a mission to change the way we talk about pregnancy, maternal health, and healthcare disparities—especially for Black women.
In this episode, we dive into the real story behind the “pregnancy glow,” the power of advocacy during Black Maternal Health Week, and how Dr. Kendra is using her voice and platform to break down complex health topics on social media. She doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff—like implicit bias in the healthcare system—and shares why it’s so important for patients and providers alike to start asking the right questions. We also talk about her concierge medical practice, Ask Dr. Kendra, and how she’s working one-on-one with patients to provide personalized, accessible care that puts education and empowerment first.
Whether you’re navigating pregnancy yourself, supporting someone who is, or just want to understand how we can do better as a healthcare system and a society—this episode is a must-listen.
