In this special episode, host Dr. Cassandre Dunbar takes listeners inside the Johnson & Johnson Healthy eVoices Conference in Princeton, New Jersey — a gathering of hundreds of health advocates from across the country, all living with chronic illness. Cassandre sat down with eight extraordinary women and asked them all the same question: How did you become an advocate? None of them planned it. Most of them were chosen - by a diagnosis, by a moment of crisis, by the simple fact that no one who looked like them existed in the spaces they needed most. From a 7-year-old giving her first speech at a gala, to a woman fired from her job because of epilepsy, to a cancer diagnosis in the middle of a divorce — these stories will move you, challenge you, and remind you why showing up matters. *Disclosure: Johnson & Johnson covered travel and accommodations for the Healthy Voices Conference. They had no involvement in the conversations, participants selected, questions asked, or how this story is told.* Featuring: Alexis - Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Alexis is a Black disabled advocate and healthcare professional committed to amplifying the patient voice and advancing disability representation.

Asha - Breast Cancer & Vitiligo Asha Miller is a nationally recognized breast cancer veteran, speaker, and storyteller who uses her lived experience as a Black woman navigating cancer, divorce, motherhood, and healing to advocate for equity in healthcare. Diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in her early 30s, Asha speaks candidly about identity, body image, racial disparities, and reclaiming power after diagnosis. She is the founder of Asha Miller Creative and is known for building transformative spaces where storytelling becomes a catalyst for healing and change. Ayesha - Psoriatic Arthritis Founder of The PsoriaSis Collective and Sistas With Psoriasis Online Support Group, Ayesha Patrick is a long-time psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patient advocate dedicated to empowering Black women through education, connection, and support.

What happens when your best day collides with your worst? In this conversation, we sit down with poet and author Rachel Eliza Griffiths to discuss her memoir The Flower Bearers. Rachel shares the story of her wedding day, which became both the best and worst day of her life when she learned of her closest friend Aisha's sudden passing. Together we explore the physical and emotional toll of grief, the power of our chosen sisterhood, and what it looks like to survive multiple traumas within months. Rachel opens up about navigating anger, shame, and eventually healing, while honoring the love that sustains us through unimaginable loss. We talk about resilience and the courage it takes to choose joy even in the midst of profound grief. https://www.rachelelizagriffiths.com/https://bookshop.org/a/18086/9780593730201 Connect with Be Well, Sis: Instagram – @bewellsis_podcast Substack – bewellsis.substack.com Follow, rate, and share this episode!

Certified breathwork facilitator and founder of The Self-Care Suite Tara Pringle Jefferson joins us to reframe self-care beyond consumerism. Drawing from her new book Bloom How You Must: A Black Woman’s Guide to Self-Care and Generational Healing, Tara unpacks the “strong Black woman” narrative, shares what was happening in her life when her doctor literally prescribed rest as medicine, and points out practical ways to build support, not just stamina. We get into social and professional wellness (hello, sabbaticals), the power of “third places,” why it’s important to indulge creative rituals that aren’t rooted in perfectionism, and the intergenerational wisdom she gathered from talking to 100 Black women ages 19–99. Plus: Toni Morrison’s lesson on boundaries, Coretta Scott King’s vocation-as-service, and a simple mandate for 2026 (remember you’re human).

In today’s episode, personal trainer and future pelvic floor physical therapist Röbynn Europe demystifies all things pelvic floor health: what it is, why it matters, and how to get help when needed. Röbynn breaks down the “core as a box” (diaphragm, abs, back, pelvic floor), explains Kegels beyond the basics (the dreaded/loved “elevator” holds), and shares signs something needs attention: from incontinence to painful sex, low-back/groin pain, and post-birth changes (including after C-sections). We also dig into why men, too, should train their pelvic floors (especially lifters), and how much knowledge and representation are power when it comes to pelvic health.
