  • *Content warning: Talk of all things Christmas including Santa!*

    Ho Ho Ho! Join Rachel, Sarah and Lucy for this festive edition of 'The Skies We’re Under' podcast.

    The trio reflect on the Christmases you imagine, and the reality of the surprises our stockings bring.

    Whilst Lucy thinks it's impossible to not lose your shit at Christmas, Sarah thinks you just need to lower your expectations… like, really lower your expectations.

    We’ve got a literal story about losing your sh*t from a listener, and there’s a blast from the past for Lucy.

    Content Warning - This Episode contains Santa Spoilers…

  • Following on from the awesome conversation with Sharon Foxwell and Leisa Miller, Sarah and Lucy reflect on how working (and not working) has impacted on them personally.

    We discuss how work can provide a sense of identity, and how that can be lost for parent carers and stay at home parents. We identify the barriers for primary care givers to enter the workplace and how the workplace, and the world is losing out by not utilising the skill sets we have.

  • Rachel and Sarah are joined by the fan-blooming-tastic Jess Thom to talk all things Inclusive Play.

    Jess talks about her life, and how she has turned her tics into a source of imaginative creativity by founding Tourettes Hero and starting the Rebel Play movement.

    A brilliant, funny, reflective conversation, where Rachel and Jess consider how we ensure we don’t let ableist ideas shrink our world and impact the self-image and well-being of our disabled children. As parents of disabled children, listening to disabled adults is a vital part to our own learning and evolution.

    We’re so lucky to have been able to talk to Jess, not least because she tells us her actual favourite biscuits (not just her ‘show’ favourite biscuits!)

    Sarah also has the sniffles, and for once it’s Rachel sharing laundry tips…

  • Content warning - this episode includes discussions around birth trauma, if this won’t be helpful for you to listen to, please choose another episode to listen to.

    Join Rachel and Lucy, in conversation with Hayley Charlesworth from Harry’s Pals.

    They think back to the moment you get life changing news about your child: when all the focus is on all the things that are wrong or broken, and what they’ll need to do for your child as a result, and stop there. In a world where there is no emotional support provided for parents to navigate the rollercoaster that they’ve just got onto, Hayley has established Harry’s Pals to help fill this gap.

    We also discuss, ‘Is there a good way to break bad news?’ and we meet Lucy’s Resident Rat friend.

  • It is so easy, as a parent, to get lost in the therapies, to-do lists (and as we’ve said before) become a nodding dog to the system. This week on the podcast we talk to Lucy Charles and Arul Hamill, therapists from New Zealand who are helping parents to focus on what matters most to them and their family’s using the f-words wheel of life.

    Rather than stander, walker, lying support and sensory therapy, what about fun, fitness, family, future and function - at home and in the community?

    From celebrating the small wins and throwing a birthday party for a poo, this episode is everything a parent needs to hear when they are swimming in the sea of performance, professionals and prior expectations. You can find the f-words and wheel of life here, and more about Lucy and Arul here and here.

  • Welcome to a TSWU Raincheck. While you wait for new content, here is a short extract from earlier episodes to tide you over.

    This week hope. What it is and what it isn’t

    As parents we have pivoted and adjusted in so many ways. Our view of the future, ourselves, our family. It seems it is even possible to track some of those changes on the podcast. This week we have a rain check looking how our perspective on hope changes.

    Extracts are from:

    Season 1 Episode 3; and

    Season 3 Episode 11

    How our expectations can be unfair as well as unrealistic Imagined realities are a potent draw to disappointment Coping mechanisms can evolve over time and may need re-evaluation It's okay to feel hurt, but we can choose our responses Knowing who we are, communication and boundaries are the heart of good family dynamics

  • Join Rachel, Lucy and Sarah for Episode 8 of The Skies We’re Under.

    This episode we are talking all about divorce. Continuing our theme of families, we have to cover things not working out the way we planned (as it so often does). The episode includes candid conversations about the complexities of family life, relationships, and how the challenges of parenting a disabled child can impact your relationship and perspective on life.

    Lucy and Rachel talk to Sarah about her divorce, reflecting on the impact of separation, the resilience of children, and the importance of support systems. The conversation highlights the emotional journey of navigating family dynamics, the balance between personal needs and responsibilities, and the unexpected perks that can come from separation.

  • CONTENT WARNING - This episode contains discussions about Fostering; Children With Difficult Childhoods; Mental Health Issues and Life Limiting Conditions. If this will be difficult for you to listen to, please choose another episode.

    Rachel is joined by Lucy today, as they continue to explore families and the different forms that families take.

    In particular they focus on fostering, and how that can feel from both a fostered child’s perspective, and that of a foster carer. They are joined by Dave May, listener to the podcast, father to two daughters, very proud Grandad and a foster carer for two decades.

    Dave talks through the experience of both short term and long term placements, his family’s experience of fostering disabled children and moving from fostering to shared lives when children reach adulthood.

    Dave reflects on the additional complexity when fostering disabled children and the wealth of experience gained from fostering 27 children. He also shares his top ‘Sh*t Things Practitioners Say’ (We told you he was a fan of the podcast!)

  • Join Rachel for Episode 4 of The Skies We’re Under podcast, this week we’ve swapped out two Mum’s in exchange for two Dads (Brendan Jones and Tim Wright) - to get a different perspective on life as a parent of a disabled child.

    Whilst they cover many well trodden paths: the pain that can come with comparison, rubbish message delivery and the clanger of ‘special children get special parents’ they illustrate a slightly different story.

    Brendan and Tim focus on the difficulties of adjusting the life you had imagined, to the life you have whilst dealing with the traditional roles that Fathers often (but not always) fulfil. From focussing on practical support, to ‘making up’ on the weekends, they consider the ways that stereotypically male ways of coping, can both help, and hinder.

    There is plenty of reflection on finding the right communities of support around us, including the fantastic charity 'Unique', to how to talk to those who ‘get it’ and those who don’t, and just how sometimes you need to just get away from it all.

  • Join Rachel, Sarah and Lucy for 'Part Two' of our episode on siblings. They reflect on the discussions with their children, and the unique insight that siblings of disabled children have, that are so rarely heard.

    They discuss the heartbreak, the admiration for how bloody lovely they are, and their honesty (some stories they heard were new to them).

  • Join Rachel, Sarah and Lucy for Part One of our conversation with the absolutely amazing Daisy, Ocean and Tom, the super siblings who ‘belong to’ Sarah and Lucy.

    In addition to reflecting on how blooming awesome their kids are, (because they really are) the team also share more about the usual drama free lives they lead. From visits to documentary-meriting Accident and Emergency departments to dashes across Europe to breaking your foot when you are dancing in your bedroom.

    We’d love to hear from you – we love sharing stories, we love hearing how things are going, the good, the bad, the snotty-crying ugly.

  • Join Rachel for our fourth and final 'Raincheck' of the Summer Holidays.While you wait for new content, here is a short extract from earlier episodes to tide you over.

    This week, we have another short reflection on trust. Trust isn’t just an external experience with others but also an internal relationship with ourselves. This short rain check replays a couple of key conversations we’ve had about trust and how it has been warped and reshaped by our experiences as parent carers.

    Extracts From:

    Season 3 Episode 3 andSeason 1 Episode 17

  • Join Rachel for our third 'Raincheck' of the Summer.

    While you wait for new content, here is a short extract from earlier episodes to tide you over.

    This week is all about trust.

    Rachel didn’t realise how important trust played in professional relationships until she transitioned from one end of the bed, as a healthcare professional, to the other, as a parent of someone with complex medical needs. The difference it makes is like taking a deep breath.

    Extracts are From:

    Season 1 Episode 14 Season 1 Episode 17 andSeason 1 Episode 18
