    What does it really mean to care for the whole woman?

    In this episode of Women's Health, Wisdom, & WINE!, Dr. White sits down with Narobi Mkwalu, an intuitive life passage guide (cosmic doula), for a thought-provoking conversation about healing, self-discovery, spirituality, intuition, and navigating the transitions that shape our lives.

    Narobi's work brings together holistic wellness, integrative approaches, spiritual exploration, intuitive practices, creativity, and community. Together, Dr. White and Narobi explore what it means to look beyond individual symptoms or circumstances and consider the many dimensions that contribute to a woman's sense of well-being.

    From emotional and spiritual wellness to relationships, physical well-being, creativity, and life's major transitions, this conversation invites us to consider an important question: How do we stay connected to ourselves while we're becoming someone new?

    Whether you're moving through a major life transition, feeling called to reconnect with yourself, exploring your spirituality, or simply curious about a more holistic approach to wellness, Narobi offers wisdom and practices to consider along the journey.

    • The meaning of "multidimensional healing"

    • The role of a "cosmic doula" in life's passages and transitions
