224 Womb Wisdom: A TERRIBLE STRENGTH IS HERE

It’s publication day!  Today, Kemi is celebrating the release of A Terrible Strength and taking a moment to reflect on what it took to bring this book into the world. From the emotional weight of writing and deciding what stories to tell, to navigating a new industry and the impact of success on relationships, she shares what was hard, what mattered, and why it was all worth it.  She also breaks down what this book actually is, who it is for, and why it is meant to create a true before-and-after in how we understand Black women’s health. This is not just a book launch. It is an invitation into deeper awareness, better care, and a different level of responsibility for how we show up for ourselves and each other.  If you haven’t heard the first two parts of this series, you can go back and listen to:  Episode 222: Journey to A Terrible Strength Part 1 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/222-womb-wisdom-journey-to-a-terrible-strength-part-1/id1565219435?i=1000762614822]  Episode 223: Journey to A Terrible Strength Part 2 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/223-womb-wisdom-journey-to-a-terrible-strength-part-2/id1565219435?i=1000764002528]  Mentions:  Dr. Sharon Malone [https://www.drsharonmalone.com/]  This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/673836/this-here-flesh-by-cole-arthur-riley/]   Episodes mentioned:   Episode 100: Unapologetically Vulnerable: Kemi's Interview Part 1 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/your-unapologetic-career-podcast/id1565219435?i=1000604090013]  Episode 101: Unapologetically Vulnerable: Kemi's Interview Part 2 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/your-unapologetic-career-podcast/id1565219435?i=1000605134739]    Order Dr. Kemi’s Book: A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/775526/a-terrible-strength-by-kemi-doll-md-mscr/]     See Dr. Kemi on tour:   Dr. Kemi is going on a national book tour this May and June—bringing this conversation directly to our communities through live readings, real talk, and fantastic co-hosts!!  If she’s coming to your city, come be in the room.
