Hysterectomies, Grief & Identity After 50

from Unapologetically Grown · host Audra Madison & Val Royal

Black women face hysterectomies younger, and more often, than their peers. Monica Wood joins Audra Madison and Val Royal to get real about hers: the decision, the surgery, and what nobody talks about after - the grief, the identity questions, the mental health toll.Monica breaks down the different types of hysterectomies and why informed decision-making matters, but this conversation goes deeper than the medical side. It's about what real support looks like, how to show up for someone you love through a health struggle, and giving yourself grace to heal on your own timeline.This one's about breaking the silence.
