**Be Well Sis: The Podcast**

Be Well, Sis is a wellness podcast for women who know self-care goes deeper than face masks and bubble baths.

Hosted by Dr. Cassandre Dunbar, a medical doctor and professor, this show explores what it actually takes to be well physically, mentally, emotionally, and culturally. Through science-backed solo episodes and thoughtful conversations with experts, practitioners, changemakers, and people with lived experience, *Be Well, Sis* explores stress, hormones, aging, rest, pleasure, joy, and the everyday rituals that support healing, presence, and a fuller life.

This podcast is for women navigating transitions and quiet awakenings, as well as for those asking big questions about what wellness truly means. It is a space to get curious, feel less alone, and rethink what being well looks like now.

A Renaissance of Our Own| Rachel Cargle May 16, 2023

Show notes

This conversation is one that I manifested even before I launched Be Well, Sis!

Rachel Cargle is a writer, entrepreneur, philanthropic innovator, and founder of The Loveland Foundation, Inc., founded in 2018, which offers free access to mental health care through the Therapy Fund for Black women and girls.

Rachel Cargle’s A RENAISSANCE OF OUR OWN: A Memoir & Manifesto on Reimagining is a crucial addition to the antiracist conversation and comes from a place of deep personal discovery. There are breaking points in all our lives when we realize that the way things have been done before no longer serve us, be it the way we approach our relationships, our belief systems, our work, our education, even our rest. For Rachel Cargle, reimagining—the act of creating in our minds that which does not exist but that we believe can and should—has been a lifelong process. Reimagining served as the most powerful catalyst for Cargle’s personal transformation from a small-town Christian wife to an incisive queer feminist voice of a generation.

Our conversation dives into

honing our highest values and redefining success,
exploring platonic romance,
have a deep relationship with all versions of ourselves,
self-forgiveness,
and much more!
