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.

This conversation was first published here.

 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. 

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:)

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.

We spoke candidly about the intersections of religion, Christianity, culture, and ancient practices.  We want to know what you think, please leave us a comment.
