In this week’s episode, Mandi sits down with Lisa Cunningham, a powerhouse creative and the Head of Marketing at the Black Women’s Health Imperative, to unpack her incredible journey from directing music videos to becoming a champion for health equity.

Lisa shares how personal loss and self-discovery shaped her purpose, leading her to use storytelling as a tool for change—especially in women’s health. Through her documentary Me Period, she’s breaking down stigmas around menstruation and helping young women and their caregivers access the knowledge and confidence they deserve.

Together, Mandi and Lisa dive into what it really means to prioritize your health, wealth, and wellness—and how those three things are deeply connected. They discuss:
✨ The role women play as health advocates in their families
✨ Why accurate health information is key to empowerment
✨ How chronic disease prevention and epigenetics shape generational well-being
✨ Navigating career pivots with purpose and financial confidence
✨ The importance of community and partnership in personal growth
