Tuesday Announcements 9/2: A Week Off, Liddy Huntsman, Live Recording, Greek Festival, and This Week's Guest...

From the medical establishment to medical rebel, Mallory Cracroft's journey challenges everything we thought we knew about women's healthcare. After years as a practicing OBGYN, Cracroft found herself increasingly frustrated by a system that compartmentalizes women's health issues rather than seeing the whole person. Her response? She walked away from her medical career to found Uplift for Her, an organization dedicated to supporting women through a truly holistic approach to health and wellbeing.

Our conversation explores the critical gaps in traditional women's healthcare and how Cracroft's venture addresses them. We dive deep into the unique challenges women face during major life transitions like pregnancy and childbirth, the interconnection between physical and mental health, and why fifteen-minute appointment windows simply can't provide the comprehensive care women deserve. Cracroft shares powerful insights about why treating symptoms without addressing root causes continues to fail patients, particularly women whose concerns are often dismissed or minimized in medical settings.

What makes this episode particularly compelling is hearing a medical insider's perspective on where the system breaks down and how we might rebuild it. Whether you're navigating your own healthcare journey, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in healthcare innovation, Cracroft's story offers both validation and hope. Her courage in stepping away from the prestige and security of a medical career to build something truly aligned with women's needs demonstrates what's possible when we prioritize purpose over convention. Listen now to discover how one doctor's frustration became the catalyst for a healthcare revolution that puts women at the center of their own healing journey.
