✨SEASON FINALE: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW ✨ The season finale is here and it's a powerful listen! Vagina Uncensored: A Journey of Missing Parts with the extraordinary Ally Hensley.

Ally is a true inspiration, openly sharing her experiences with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH), a rare condition that causes the vagina and uterus to be underdeveloped or absent.

Despite the challenges and trauma, Ally has turned her experiences into a platform to raise awareness and support people. She is now a powerful global voice and advocate for breaking the stigma.

She's co-produced a pioneering film about MRKH, founded organisations such as MRKH Australia and Global MRKH, and serves on the board of MRKH Connect. Her podcast, Stigma Shakers, also makes waves by tackling taboo topics and inspiring change.

• MRKH diagnosis at age 16 to becoming a global powerful advocate
• Ally's perspective on womanhood

I’m honoured to share this uplifting and inspiring conversation with the incredible Priyanka Pandya about her important children's book When Mummy Had Cancer.

Despite having had surgery just hours before recording this conversation, Priyanka still showed up to share her moving journey with us and the inspiration behind her book which offers valuable insights for parents and children.

Not only has Priyanka written a beautifully illustrated book while going through the challenging experience of cancer and treatment but she also started training in children’s life coaching. How amazing 🫶🏾

• The importance of being honest with children and communicating openly as a family
• Roles of support systems and holistic healing in building hope and resilience
