From Ebony.com: Boxing champion Laila Ali spoke with EBONY about her new YouTube series ‘Around the Clock’ which focuses on motherhood and marriage with other celebrity moms including Ali Landry and Kendra Wilkinson.

The series which is part of the Everyday Health Channel has touched on a myriad of topics including how to maintain intimacy in marriage after having a baby and everyday issues such as how to keep your children occupied on a long car ride.  Check out Laila’s take on motherhood, fitness, and family and what we can expect in upcoming episodes:

EBONY: I’ve watched all of episodes of your show ‘Around the Clock’ and I’ve found them refreshingly honest.  How did you become interested in participating in the show with the other mothers featured?

Laila:  It was a natural fit. I love engaging in conversation with other moms because we can relate to one another and we swap valuable insight and information.

EBONY: Like I said, I think it’s the level of honesty in the shows that make them stand out.  Particularly the episodes about intimacy in a marriage generally and after you have a baby.  You mentioned in the episode about celebrity kids needing privacy that you are a very private person, do you ever feel nervous that the topics discussed are too personal for you to talk about in public?

Laila:  I’m private in the sense that I like my personal space and only want people in the parts of my business that I choose to share. Anything I feel is too personal to share publicly, I keep to myself.
