In this episode of The Michele Broad Show, we’re getting real about a topic too many professional women overlook: taking full responsibility for your health. As a seasoned women’s health nurse practitioner and wellness coach, I break down why your health is your responsibility—not your doctor’s, your employer’s, or anyone else’s.
I share four powerful “flags” that every ambitious woman should wave: stay curious about your health, stop outsourcing your wellness, own your choices, and most importantly—invest in your health, not see it as an expense.
This episode is packed with hard-hitting statistics, relatable stories, and actionable wellness tips for professional women who are striving for career success without sacrificing their well-being. You’ll discover how prioritizing your health is not just self-care—it’s a leadership move.
Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder or running your own business, this conversation will empower you to align your health choices with your ambitions. Because women’s health empowerment is not a luxury—it's a leadership imperative.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
Why curiosity about your body is a leadership skill—and how you're already using it in your career

Actionable professional women wellness tips you can start using today

How to work with your healthcare providers to get what you need

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
