After being invited to speak on her experiences for a discussion with radio personality Tom Joyner, Graydon-Dantzler shared that she felt her decision to home birth was ridiculed, though many Black women throughout history have brought children into the world through that same practice.

“I can’t front on the way that it made me feel in the moment. I thought I was being asked to talk about an experience in a positive way, but I didn’t feel supported in that moment,” she said.

“When I decided to do a home birth, at the time, it didn’t feel like a popular choice. But it worked for me,” Graydon-Dantzler said. “As the years went on, it became more common.”

During the conversation, Scott reveals that she’s been misdiagnosed before by medical professionals. In a clip from the latest episode, co-host Graydon-Dantzler offers her support through a Color Purple-like prayer.

“Dear God,” she began in the clip. “Please don’t let me come across no doctors, no nurses, no health professionals in which that would tell me that I have things that I don’t, suggest things that they shouldn’t suggest, say things to me that they know are sensitive and wrong.”

Scott shared that her misdiagnosis “terrified” her and she was filled with great anxiety believing she was afflicted with something she didn’t have.

The beloved singer suggested that any woman that might be concerned with the quality of their healthcare should go get a second opinion in the form of a blood test.

Actress Michelle Buteau, who co-starred with Scott on the original series First Wives Club, joined the ladies’ discussion on maternal health and shared a story about how the "He Loves Me" songstress helped her through a rough time after a number of failed attempts to bring a child into the world.

“I stopped going to church and I feel like my relationship with God was ruined and tainted through the years of IBF and miscarriage,” she said. “Now that I’m thriving, and really trying to raise these people and having amazing people in my life. I’m like what does that look like because I’ve just been in a place of despair for so long."

The 43-year-old stand-up comedian spoke glowingly about having an opportunity to work with Scott on the First Wives Club, acknowledging that their friendship has saved her from her depression.

Buteau said that her fertility experience was very isolating at times due to the lack of awareness about In vitro fertilization and she felt like she had no one to relate to.

“How do I know all these people and have no one to talk to,” Buteau said. “We have to bring attention to this.”

In one of the most heartfelt moments of the listening session, St. Clair is heard on a clip of the podcast episode expressing her frustration over the societal pressure many women face in regards to raising a family.

“It’s interesting I would have never thought at this age that I would not have had a man say to me, ‘let’s start a family,’” she said tearfully. “There are also moments of like, ‘is it going to happen?’ I always wanted to use my body for the things that I thought I was made to use it for.”

In her own personal reflection, Scott shared that she nearly flipped out at a friend’s baby shower, struggling to make peace with the possibility that she might not have kids of her own.

“I felt so embarrassed. I was happy for her, of course,” she said. “It just overwhelmed me. Her shirt was moving and s**t. I was like ‘damn.’ At the time, I just tried to find peace with not having children.”

Shortly after, she said she had a freeling revelation.

“And then, I got OK,” she began. “That’s not my bag. I get to travel the world. I get to hang out late at night. I get to drink a little too much.”

Then, Scott revealed that she got pregnant with her first child and encouraged her friend and co-host not to give up on her dreams and explore her options.

“I don’t want you to give up, but I want you to let go.” the 49-year-old singer said.
