What if all you really need to start feeling better is a vitamin supplement?

This week on Sisternomics, I’m in conversation with a brilliant sister who's on a mission to help us reclaim our health and make wellness a priority. Meet Dr. Karleena Tuggle McDaniel, board-certified weight loss surgeon, wellness advocate, and co-founder of ProBlk Health, a supplement company that centers our health.

In this deeply insightful episode, Dr. Karleena (aka Dr. K) breaks down a silent but serious crisis in our community: vitamin deficiency. From the widespread lack of Vitamin D to the often-overlooked need for iron and gut health support, she explains how these invisible gaps in our nutrition are impacting our energy, immunity, and long-term wellness.

But this isn’t just a conversation about health problems. It’s a story of vision, empowerment, and legacy. Dr. K shares how she and her husband turned frustration into a movement by creating ProBlk Health, a brand that doesn’t just sell supplements, it reinvests into the Black community. Yup, 50% of their profits go toward initiatives that advance health equity.

This episode is for anyone who’s ready to prioritize their health, invest in their well-being, and support a brand that’s built with us in mind.

Let’s get real—too many women over 40 hesitate to start their own podcast because they think the space is already too crowded or they don’t have the time or tech skills to make it happen.

But here’s the truth: Podcasting is STILL wide open for women like us. There is plenty of room for your voice, your experience, and your wisdom. And frankly, we need more women who have lived, led, and learned to step up and own the mic.

This episode is your wake-up call! 🎙️

I’m breaking down:
- Why podcasting is the most powerful and liberating platform for sharing your message on your terms
- The biggest myths keeping women leaders from starting their show—and why they’re completely false
- Why the podcasting industry is STILL growing (there are millions of listeners looking for fresh voices like yours!)
- How having a podcast builds credibility and visibility, opening doors to media opportunities, speaking gigs, and new revenue streams
- How my AMPLIFY! workshop is making podcasting easy and accessible, even if you're short on time or tech skills

Even Michelle Obama and her brother Craig just launched a brand-new podcast. FLOTUS knows the power of owning her platform. So what are you waiting for?

If you’ve ever felt like your message deserved a bigger stage, podcasting IS that stage. And guess what? There’s still plenty of space for YOU.

By now, you already know that Joy Reid, one of the dopest journalists on MSNBC, recently got axed. I was so shaken by this it brought me out of hiatus! But this episode isn't just about Joy. Its about what every Black woman leader and entrepreneur should be doing in the cultural and political climate that we currently live in. You should be amplifying your voice, owning your platform and creating your own economy.

If you don’t own the platform, they can silence you at any time. But in this episode, I share how you can shift your mindset and take action now, to prevent that from happening.

I also get personal and reflect on a pivotal moment in my career when I learned this lesson the hard way. If you’re still waiting for permission to be great, let this be your wake-up call.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why Joy Reid’s firing is a wake-up call for Black women leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators
• The real lesson I learned when I was let go from my media job—before I could even sit down
• Why owning your platform is the key to long-term impact
• How to shift from being a consumer to a creator and start monetizing your expertise
• How to stay focused in uncertain times and block out distractions
• Why creating your own economy is no longer optional—it’s a necessity
