On Mother's Day in 2020, I created my podcast to help people in the community to better understand themselves, others, and a range of topics to support mental health, wellbeing, and ability to thrive as your true self. I share my experience and knowledge with you and have intimate conversations with a range of professionals on topics including depression, anxiety, dating and relationships, sex and masturbation, racism, alternative health, medications, and more. The discussions are "up close and " and often make listeners feel like they're right there in the room.

The Doctor Who Couldn't Zip Her Dress: A Breast Cancer Story

NEW EPISODE | The Doctor Who Couldn’t Zip Her Dress: A Breast Cancer Story

This week on The Brain Love Podcast, Dr. Delvena Thomas sits down with a courageous family practice physician, Dr. Michelle Powell, who became the patient. Diagnosed with breast cancer during the pandemic, she opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of treatment—from the strength it took to keep practicing medicine, to the day chemo made her too weak to zip her own dress.

As a psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas was deeply moved by her vulnerability, her resilience, and the raw honesty she brings to this conversation. This isn’t just a story about survival—it’s a story about identity, womanhood, and healing.

“I couldn’t even zip my dress… and I’m a doctor. I help people heal—but I couldn’t help myself.”

Tune in for a powerful blend of medical insight and human connection. We are in season 6, epi #2!
