🎙 006. Episode Title: Who Told You Wellness Wasn’t for You? The Truth About Our Healing Legacy 📘 Episode Summary:

Who made you believe that wellness wasn’t meant for you? Who told you that self-care was selfish or optional?

In this powerful episode of Dr. Rolanda’s Bright IDEAs, part of our Women’s History Month Wellness Series, Dr. Rolanda Fabien reclaims the truth: healing has always been part of our cultural legacy. Long before wellness became an industry, our ancestors practiced holistic healing, built communities of care, and honored the sacred mind-body-spirit connection.

This episode is a tribute to the healers, midwives, visionaries, and revolutionaries whose legacy we now carry—and a call for every woman to reclaim her right to heal, thrive, and live well.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:
  • How wellness and self-care have always been rooted in our cultural history

  • 3 powerful pioneers who reshaped wellness for our communities

  • Why reclaiming wellness is an act of radical self-preservation and freedom

  • How you can continue this healing legacy in your own life and community

💬 Featured Reflection:

"We are standing on the shoulders of those who fought for our healing. Their fight didn't end—it continues with us."
