Ep. 26 - Witches Part 1 - Lauren Sucher-O’Grady, MD
The term “witch” has deep historical connotations. In most cases, the term was used to vilify a woman who had some gift or talent for healing others. As humanity evolved, the term was further weaponized in ways that hurt and killed women.
In this three (or more) part series, Erin and Kelley CELEBRATE three separate women who are all healers in one way or another. In this episode, meet Dr. Lauren Sucher-O’Grady - a brilliant emergency physician and history buff. Dr. Sucher-O’Grady is a descendant of a woman accused of witchcraft in Pennsylvania during the same period as the Salem Witch Trials. (She also happens to be Erin’s wife!)
