In the following workshop, our team held an intimate fireside interview that delved into the sensitive yet crucial topics of anxiety management and confidence-building within food allergy families. This workshop, hosted by Anisha Angella, CEO of the Early Childhood Coach, featured a heartfelt conversation with Megan Crowley, a leading advocate in the food allergy community. Megan shared her unique perspective, blending personal experiences navigating the challenges of food allergies with her professional insights as a therapist working closely with affected families.
