Let’s Talk with Khalehla Ireland

In this episode, Isabella chats with Khalehla Ireland, founder of Real Women Talk. Khalehla has been battling with PCOS, or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and the nasty symptoms for years, with the last 12 months being the worst. She felt isolated and left with little information about the illness and why she was feeling the way she was, and according to modern medicine it was ‘normal’.. Khalehla decided that it wasn’t good enough to feel this way, and she was the only one who could change that. She began searching that although modern medicine was helpful, there were also other alternative options available to assist in managing her condition.

In 2019, she launched Real Women talk to have an open space, where women could come together and gain knowledge, as well as for Khalehla to share the positive changes she was making and to hold herself accountable. In this episode we talk more about Khalehla’s journey with PCOS, what she includes in her toolkit and her morning routine, we also hear about the education she received around periods, and why she feels more needs to be done to improve the education of young women. We also hear about the journey behind Real Women Talk, the impact it has had in the community and what's coming up next for Khalehla!
