United Kingdoma year ago - Inspiring and supportive
I love this podcast so much, it’s enlightening and validating. I’ve really been through the mill with my daughter and consider myself a good advocate but I am learning new language and adding to my arsenal with this podcast every week. The system’s broken, but we are stronger together. Also lots of good laughs too. Thank you!

Parenting a child with disability can sometimes feel like an overwhelming journey. This podcast was a brilliant discovery for me and has helped me through so much - it’s so brilliant to hear parent carers in a range of different situations discuss the highs and lows. It’s also hilariously funny.
