A Potent Dose Of 3
Welcome to A Potent Dose of 3 — where medicine meets meaning.
We’re Kathy, Linda, and Jazmin, three women of color in healthcare sharing our journeys as Nurse Practitioners and a Medical Student. But this podcast is about more than stethoscopes and scrubs — it’s about healing ourselves, our families, and our communities. From therapy and mental health to navigating identity and purpose, we’re breaking generational trauma one episode at a time.

Ep. 119: The Elders Don’t Like Therapy, But I Do!
In this episode, we dive into the emotional challenge of setting boundaries with older adults—especially in Black and Brown communities where “respect your elders” is often used to silence younger voices. We talk about the deep-rooted stigma around therapy, and how seeking help is often seen as weakness or betrayal in our families. But we’re choosing to break the cycle. We discuss what it looks like to speak up when something doesn’t feel right, even when it’s coming from someone older. Respect should go both ways—and healing sometimes means saying, “I don’t agree,” even if it ruffles feathers.
