    Is healthcare in retirement the promised land? You have retired, kicking up your feet, on Medicaid, and living la vida loca, right?  Drs. Heard & Heard-Garris continue their retirement expose with their mother, documenting her journey. There was so much in this episode of Flesh 'N Bold, they had no choice, but to create a two-part episode series. Our dynamic duo explores her experience with government-sponsored insurance and tackles age, race, and gender and the intersectionality of it all. To cure or to care, is there any hope to have both things in the US healthcare system? Why is healthcare a full-time job in retirement?  Take a listen, think about your own healthcare experiences, and see what you think. Don’t forget, babyyyyyyyy, they are just getting started. Part II is yet to come. In the meantime, please don’t forget to like, share, and discuss! Producers: Nevin J. Heard and Nia J.

    Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! Our Flesh ‘N Bold hosts, Drs. Heard & Heard-Garris are here to help you close the year out by discussing LOVE. In this episode, the good professors talk about love for the aged, using their mom's perspective about love and her NEW relationship as a case study. Where do we get our models of romantic love from, what are our standards for a partner, and how do we show up in these relationships? Dr. Heard wonders if standards in our "younger" years change as we move into our "older" years, and if older people really want commitment? Our hosts infuse research (as usual) to round out the conversation with companionship, money, and loneliness. And Mom imparts some wisdom to the listeners about love, "buy the cow and her partner needs to pay for everything." Keep listening for more pearls in colorful language that only she uniquely can offer. And as usual, please don’t forget to like, share, and discuss! Producers: Nevin J. Heard and Nia J.

This time they hold a magnifying glass up to the the first phase of retirement–prepping/planning. Dr. Heard-Garris pushes back on her mom’s reasons and timing for retiring. Is it because of love, money, happenstance, or all three? And because it’s them, you already know they are going to explore the intersectionality aspect of all of this. So whether you are a long way from retirement or you are living la vida loca in retirement right now, there’s something in there for you. As some free advice, but you gon’ need to talk to your financial team first they are academicians, not financial gurus. And as usual, please don’t forget to like, share, and discuss!

    For many people who work, their identities are wrapped in what they do. their first lines are, "I'm a...lawyer, salesperson, therapist, teacher..." But what happens when you retire? Who are you then? Who do you become or who do you get to be? And how do you decide when and how to shed this work identity. In this episode of Flesh 'N Bold, Drs. Heard & Heard-Garris talk to their newly retired mother and ask her about her decision to retire and how she decided to exit her job of 40 years. She may or may not have mentioned standing on the desk and pulling down her pants, but you'll have to listen to know for sure. Listen, Like, Share, & SubscribeProducers: Nevin J. Heard and Nia J.
