Sisters Brenda Barbour and Elaine Curry created the Body Wealth podcast to expand access to conversations Black women have about health and healthcare. In each episode, the sisters chat with one guest to hear about an experience that was meaningful to her mental or physical health. Episode topics have included imposter syndrome, childbirth, hypothyroidism, medical power of attorney, anxiety, body image, osteoporosis, and much more. The podcasters aim to build connections, support their community, and elevate Black women’s stories. These informal conversations about personal experiences can more powerfully inspire action than data or expert presentations. The sisters hope to help more women have the tools to be the best possible advocates for their own health and ultimately contribute to reducing the inequity in health outcomes for Black women.
The name Body Wealth reflects their belief that true wealth is having the mental and physical resources to live your healthiest life.
The podcast launched in September 2023 and has released 24 episodes over two seasons, with 5 out of 5 ratings on both Apple Podcast and Spotify. In Season 2, the podcast expanded to include video episodes on YouTube. Season 3 will launch in January 2024.The guests and topics for the podcast are curated from a diverse population of women—Black women of all ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, socio-economic statuses, and backgrounds.
