For LeBlanc, this presentation is personal. As the youngest of nine children in a farm family shaped by religious legalism, she experienced firsthand how faith communities can become sources of harm. Her memoir, The Ninth Child — shortlisted for a Word Guild Award and available in print and on Audible — documents her journey from trauma-induced mental illness to healing.

"ACEs don't stop at the church door. Faith communities have an incredible capacity to be places of resilience and healing — but only when we stop asking 'What is wrong with them?' and start asking 'What happened to them? What do they need? How can we be a safe place?' That shift changes everything." — Lisa May LeBlanc

Drawing on her credentials as a Certified Stephen Minister, Worship Leader, Friendship Lab Facilitator, and Certified ACEs Educator, LeBlanc bridges neuroscience and faith values — compassion, mercy, justice, dignity, and belonging — to challenge communities to move from judgment to curiosity.
