In this powerful episode of Leaders of Today, Lorraine Connell sits down with Alisha to discuss the importance of open and honest conversations about health, bodies, and self-acceptance. Alisha shares her deeply personal journey of navigating her daughter’s ovarian cancer diagnosis and how it led her and her husband to have candid discussions with their young children about health and body awareness.

Beyond her family’s experience, Alisha offers heartfelt advice to her teenage self—embracing self-acceptance and staying true to her inner voice. She emphasizes the significance of creating spaces where kids feel comfortable talking about their bodies and health without shame or fear.

For parents looking to foster these important conversations, Alisha provides resources and guidance on age-appropriate sex education and encourages open, judgment-free discussions with children and teens. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to empower young people with knowledge, confidence, and trust in themselves.
