Kellums & Grossi Podcast

You've probably wondered, like Amanda's husband, how the topics in our podcast, 'What Women Want Today', fit into our title. Well, hold onto your headphones because we're about to give you a fresh perspective on this. We've been thinking the same and have decided to revamp the podcast to reflect our vision of helping women become the best versions of themselves. We talk about the small things that keep us going throughout the day (hint: it’s not just coffee) and how we're using feedback to steer the direction of our podcast.

Our podcast is not just about us, it's about you too, our listeners. We're considering a women's retreat, a trip away from the hustle and bustle, a chance for our listeners to join us and feel less alone. We also open up about the challenges and lessons learned from podcasting and how it's made us more vulnerable and authentic. We discuss the importance of respect and understanding, even in disagreements, and how these conversations can lead to more meaningful connections.

We believe in the power of conversation and the transformative ripple effect it can have on our lives. Our honest chats are not just about making us feel good but to help others think differently and grow in their relationships with themselves and others. As we look to the future, we're excited about the new season focused on relationships, but we're also taking a break to focus on our health. Join us on this thrilling journey of self-discovery and growth, and be part of this incredible ripple effect.

POEM
I will not die an unlived life
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

Have you ever found yourself waking up in the middle of the night in cold sweats, or dealing with sudden mood swings and brain fog? If these symptoms are sounding all too familiar, then you're not alone. This episode, we're thrilled to be joined by Dr. Michael Green, Chief Medical Officer of Winona, who shares his wealth of knowledge on menopause symptoms and breaks down the intricacies of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). His career transition from family practice to OB-GYN, and his role at Winona, provides a unique perspective on the subject which will leave you informed and empowered.

Venturing deeper into the realm of HRT, we tackle some of the big questions surrounding its risks and benefits, particularly its link to cancer.

Throughout our conversation, the passion for assisting others through Winona is evident, providing a comforting assurance that we're on the right path.
