Dare to Ask! Podcast artwork

The Dare to Ask Podcast brought to you by Essentia Health hosted by Cori Jensen. Where we look at women’s health from a new lens and get real with the provider behind the lab coat and the scrubs. We’ll dare to ask what kind of woman she is? What kind of mother? Does she have healthy hobbies or does she Netflix and chill with a glass of merlot like the rest of us? What is her passion and how does she feel about us “googling our symptoms” This will be a safe space were we can get the connection we all want with our medical team: the real, the straight talk like we get from our best friend, only if our best friend had a medical degree!
