Navigating food allergies isn’t just about food—it’s about feeling included. In this episode, host and food allergy mom Lesley-Anne Stone sits down with Shani Bernard, the first nanny who cared for her son Sam and someone who personally understands the struggles of food allergies.
From early signs and diagnosis to the emotional toll of feeling "othered", this heartfelt conversation dives deep into what it takes to support a child with food allergies—and why it should be a family effort.
