Getting into 2023 | Mental Health with Odion Welch

We thought we needed to bring Odion Welch on our very first show to discuss how to get mentally ready for 2023.  Who is Odion Welch?   Odion Welch is the best-selling author of ‘Breakthrough.’  She was born and raised in Edmonton, Canada, into an immigrant family with her mother, who single-handily raised her and her brother while dealing with personal loss and financial instability.    Suffering from depression and anxiety all her life inspired her to share her story. Designed to help everyone break through personal struggles, see that we are not alone, deal with mental illness and fight the stigma that comes with it.    Odion came from poverty, fear, financial disaster, and negative relationships knowing nothing but depression to inspire us with her impression.  Working with others to make herself and give them a household name. She works to empower women to overcome the struggles we are all going through, whether it be family, finance, or connections.  Odion is a driven, successful entrepreneur with a passion for awareness and practical activities toward mental health. When she is not advocating for mental health or utilizing her recruitment designation, she can be found curled up on her couch watching Disney movies in her white, fluffy unicorn onesie.    Find out more about Odion Welch at www.odionwlech.com.   To learn more about LCCMedia, please visit - www.ladiescorner.ca

Do you have space in your life for autism?

This conversation was first published here. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GFT1cPEEww&t=2s]  Author Liyu Makonnen joined us to talk about raising an autistic child.  She is also the author of the book: My Voice, My Life, My Story: Mighty Explorer. For some of us, our first introduction to autism was when St. Albert RCMP arrested a nonverbal autistic child [https://edmonton.citynews.ca/2022/10/06/rcmp-autistic-teen-arrest/].  The distress that a child would have gone through has broken many hearts. The child could have been my son, nephew, cousin etc.   In 2023, LCCMedia will be doing a lot of work around getting BIPOC to understand how special autistic children are. We discussed the need for another children's book and why her book was different. We spoke about coping with an autistic child. How she protects her child?  You want to listen to the end:) Find out more about what we do here: www.ladiescorner.ca Support our work here [https://ladiescorner.ca/support-us/]

Is my fibroid cancerous? A chat with Dr. Florence Akindele

Dr.Akindele took some time to answer questions on fibroids: Is it cancerous? Will it kill? How do you cure it? Do natural herbs work?  Should we talk about female health? What part of our health is taboo to talk about?  Dr. Florence Akindele has 30 years of experience as a doctor and 20 years as an Obstetrician/Gynaecologist.   She also holds a Master's degree in Public Health and has worked in various aspects of women's health in Nigeria, Swaziland, South Africa, and now Alberta, Canada.  She is a loving mother of four and grandmother of six.   This conversation was originally published here [https://ladiescorner.ca/2022/06/13/all-about-uterine-fibroids-with-dr-florence-akindele/]. Our apologies for the echo. Our support could not fix it:(  Find out more about LCCMEDIA: www.ladiescorner.ca [//www.ladiescorner.ca]

Women in Tech | A Conversation with Kasey Manchin

Kasey Machin is a Founder and COO at AretoLabs.  She is also the Founder and Chair of  ParityYeg. In this media chat, she talks to Tee Adeyemo about the inspiration behind creating and shaping inclusivity online through  AretoLabs. I have to say this is the most inspiring chat I have had in a long time. Previously, I thought the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning was far removed from people like me till I spoke to Kasey. The fact that she is a woman and winning in the Techworld is a plus and a win for all women everywhere. So, please read on. AretoLabs has three founders who bring different things to the table: Lara Cuthbertson, Kasey Machin and Jacqueline Comer. The idea behind  AretoLabs began when Machin worked for a city counsellor and noticed the amount of toxicity aimed at female politicians on Twitter.  A response to that is PartyBot. Ms. Kasey Machin joined Ladies Corner to talk about gender parity and empowering women to take leadership roles in public services.   To find out more about what we do, please visit: www.ladiescorner.ca Like, share and subscribe: Twitter @ladiescornerc, Instagram @ladiescorner.ca
