Real talk, no ribbons, no fluff.
Dr. Cari Croghan and Jamie Vaughn dig into the tough barrier topics: fear, cultural dismissal, bias, the absurd hoops we must jump through just to access care, and cultural barriers.
From breast changes to insurance denials, we’re done whispering about it.
This one’s about knowing your body, trusting your gut, and refusing to be brushed off.
Listen in and share it with someone who needs that nudge to speak up and push back, perhaps with a little help!
Episode Summary (Real Talk)
We get honest about what it takes to advocate for yourself in a system that too often says “wait and see.” Dr. Cari, an ER-vet turned telehealth advocate—joins me to talk about the barriers women face every day: lack of education, fear, access, bias, and insurance run-arounds.
You’ll hear practical advice on getting the right tests, when to demand a diagnostic mammogram, how to appeal denials, and where to find care even without insurance.
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s here to help you move from fear to action.
