What is the main topic of this episode?
Hey, Mish. Hey, Craig Robinson. Today's topic is one that's near and dear to me. Now, one of the reasons why I'm excited about, one of the many reasons I'm excited about our platform IMO is that we really get to talk about whole array of issues that we both care about. But this topic today is particularly of note for me because we're going to be talking about women's health. We've got one of our dear friends, Dr. Sharon Malone on. And she's going to talk about her new book, new podcast that we're excited about. And But we want to talk about a whole range of things. And in many ways, to have a guy like yourself on in the midst of this conversation, to some people might seem funny because a lot of men don't feel a connection to women's health.
Why is understanding women's health so important?
Because quite frankly, oftentimes we as women don't understand our own issues. And we're going to talk a little bit about that. But I think you are... in a unique position because we grew up in a household where women had voices. And despite the fact that we grew up in such an open household for that time in life or that stage of our lives, I'm still surprised at how little I know about my own body. uh, you know, and, and how many things we didn't talk about, not because our parents weren't open to it, but they didn't know, you know, so we're going to talk more about this. Um, uh, but let's introduce, let's get, let's get Sharon in on the, on the conversation.
And you said Sharon's family and, and, and I, I, You know, I could introduce her without the notes, but I'm going to read Dr. Sharon Malone's bio here. Dr. Sharon is a nationally recognized OBGYN with over 30 years of experience, a New York Times bestseller with her book, Grown Woman Talk, and a longtime advocate for providing practical information on women's health and aging. So here to join us is a good friend and just basically a family member, Dr. Sharon Malone.
Welcome to IMO, Sharon.
So good to have you with us.
Thank you for having me. Thank you. Road warrior, because this woman here has been... all over the country promoting grown woman talk. I am so proud of you for so much. But you did the thing, writing this amazing, creative, fun, funny, informative, open, honest book about women's health with a particular focus on women of color, but it's a book for everyone, men, women, women, people of all races and all ages, because you cover the spectrum of just some of the things that women go through. Can you talk a bit about why you wanted to write the book and how you're feeling about things? Yes.
I want to thank both of you for having me here because we've had many conversations like this just around the kitchen table. And to be able to share this is really special. And I remember when I left my clinical practice, now it's been four and a half years ago, I had none of this in mind. I wasn't planning to write a book. I wasn't planning to be out here in menopause world, none of it. But you got to be ready when things happen. And I remember how encouraging you were for me. You were like, girl, come on, you can do this. And I was so nervous after I wrote the book and I was like, oh, I don't know if you want to read it.
You didn't show it to me, but it took so many, it's like, okay, Sharon, I know you have a rough draft. I was getting a little insulted for a second there. Well, you know what it is and you can appreciate this, Craig.
Yes, I can. I knew that if I asked her to read the book, she was going to give me her honest opinion of the book. And sometimes I wasn't sure if I was ready for that. You know what I mean? So welcome to the world of the Robinsons. I was like, wait a minute. Maybe it sucks and she's going to tell me.
