A Potent Dose Of 3

A Potent Dose Of 3

Welcome to A Potent Dose of 3 — where medicine meets meaning. We’re Kathy, Linda, and Jazmin, three women of color in healthcare sharing our journeys as Nurse Practitioners and a Medical Student. But this podcast is about more than stethoscopes and scrubs — it’s about healing ourselves, our families, and our communities. From therapy and mental health to navigating identity and purpose, we’re breaking generational trauma one episode at a time.

But despite all the effort, things didn’t go as planned.  Linda shares how the devastating outcome led to a spiral of depression and anxiety, especially with the looming pressure of having to take the test again.

We talk about the deep-rooted stigma around therapy, and how seeking help is often seen as weakness or betrayal in our families. But we’re choosing to break the cycle. We discuss what it looks like to speak up when something doesn...

We also share how therapy became...

Linda opens up about still navigating self-doubt as a new grad, and how she's slowly...
