This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Laila is joined by Dr Niveditha Manokaran to break down the essentials of breast health. Together, they emphasise the importance of self-exams, regular screenings, and understanding what’s normal for your body, while addressing cultural barriers and myths that often hinder women.

From family history and lifestyle factors to hormones, BRCA testing, and the truth about bras and deodorants, this episode offers practical knowledge and empowering reminders. At its heart, the conversation is about self-care, awareness, and taking charge of your health.

If you’ve been putting self-exams off, this is your gentle push to start.
