About this listen
Will you look at that? Someone likes us enough to be on our podcast!
Unboxing It had the pleasure of welcoming its first guest to the show: Misty Pratt, health communicator and author of the book All In Her Head: How Gender Bias Harms Women’s Mental Health.
Because if there’s one thing we know about society, it’s that women are often told to take a seat. This is also true in healthcare.
Misty talks to Rowan and Lara about how gender bias—*cough* the patriarchy *cough*—has led to poorer health outcomes for women throughout history, and how this trend continues today. Are women being taken seriously when they visit the doctor? Are their concerns being dismissed? Is everything being blamed on hormonal shifts when there can be other underlying issues at play?
Tune in as Misty goes through the findings she hopes will help women receive better care and yeet the patriarchy into the sea.
