Lisa May LeBlanc grew up on a remote farm in rural Minnesota, the ninth of nine children in a home marked by poverty, isolation, and unspoken trauma. For decades, she believed her story wasn't worth telling. That changed when she discovered healing through neurofeedback therapy, professional mental health support, and the courageous act of breaking silence.
Today, Lisa lives in Calgary, Alberta with her husband and is a devoted mother of two adult daughters. As an author, speaker, and narrator, she dedicates her work to helping others understand the long-term impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), recognize their own resilience, and discover that healing is possible.
The Ninth Child is a powerful memoir about childhood trauma, resilience, and healing. Through her writing, Lisa invites readers to examine their own stories and discover the power of breaking silence.
Lisa delivers keynote presentations on ACEs, creating safe spaces in faith communities, and the transformative power of storytelling. She speaks to organizations, conferences, and communities worldwide.
With authenticity and emotional depth, Lisa narrates audiobooks that honor each author's voice. Her experience as a storyteller brings nuance and care to every word.
