In this episode, I get to speak with the wonderful, Dr. Katherine Igah-Phillips (“Dr. K.”) about the importance of expanding our concept of wellness outside of physical health and how important this s for Black women, especially given our unique challenges and stressors. Almost everything we discussed was completely new, so you might want to have a pen and paper!
Dr. K is an award-winning, international speaker and holistic humanitarian. She uses her expertise in mental, spiritual, and physical wellness in her Atlanta-based Integrative Medicine practice (Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center) to provide a space for this elevated level of authentic medicine inclusive of natural healing options.
Some of the things we discussed:
We speak about how our stress and challenges as Black women is connected to physical disorders we face and why addressing physical concerns alone in healthcare is not enough.
We discuss the unique space of integrative medicine and how using a holistic approach to integrate other healing modalities to complement conventional medicine and why it is so important for Black women.
We talk about her journey and being resourceful enough to push forward when you don’t see a precedent for your vision and the work you want to do
Dr. Igah-Phillips speaks about the importance of "consciousness elevation" and why we constantly have to keep pushing ourselves to keep having a heightened sense of awareness that can help us continue to keep living life fulfilled.
We also talk about how looking at parenting as a spiritual event, can help us reduce stress and enjoy the process of motherhood.
