Empowered Health with Journalist Emily Kumler

Please note: This podcast was recorded before the pandemic. However, I still believe it is a pertinent interview that needs to be shared. What a thrilling conversation I had with Emily Kumler Kaplin! Emily is passionate about women's health and how women are underrepresented within medical research. In today's podcast Emily spoke about: What it was like growing up in a household with two feminists and how it shaped who she is today Her experience with birth and what she learned The similarities between the 'tech' industry and the birthing 'tech' industry The 'Why' behind her drive to create the EmpoweredHealth podcast and what she was noticing Who women are constantly being dismissed over health issues and that she wants them to have good information about their bodies so that they can take their power back The shadow side of industrialized childbirth and how black women are more likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth, and are being ignored by the system In closing, what her greatest take away so far has been in relation to her quest to change the conversation around women's health Emily's Bio Emily Kumler Kaplan is an award-winning investigative journalist.
