Women excel in many areas, but managing health can be a challenge. Research shows that about 66% of women prefer to wait out illness rather than see a doctor, unlike only half of men. Additionally, women often delay preventive care for various reasons, including cost and reluctance to visit a healthcare provider. A good relationship with your doctor can make a significant difference, especially if it leads to open conversations and even social outings after appointments.
We wanted to facilitate that conversation, so we invited Dr. Rebecca Brightman, a trusted OB-GYN and friend, to share her expertise. She discusses essential healthcare costs and considerations for women at every stage of life—from teens through their 50s and beyond. We'll tackle your questions about managing income when a large portion comes from bonuses, plus explore how to leverage a strong credit score.
Interestingly, if you're married and recently received a promotion, research suggests your chances of divorce might increase. It's a surprising and somewhat frustrating statistic we unpack during our discussion.
