Podcast Episodes
As some of my listeners don’t have Spotify, I decided to create a space where they could listen to episodes without a subscription. Enjoy!
Episode 1
Lupus – My Diagnosis
I was diagnosed with Lupus Disease in 2020 at the very start of the first lockdown.
I had no idea what Lupus was or what it meant for me and my family or how this was going to impact my life.
Hear how I was tested, why and what the prognosis was after I was tested.
Episode 2
World Lupus Day
It’s May 10th – World Lupus Day!
So I thought today I would go through the symptoms of Lupus and more specifically how these symptoms affect my day-to-day life.
If anyone has any symptoms they want to let me know about or have any questions, just let me know. I’d love to connect xx
Episode 3
Hayden’s Autism Journey
We are focusing on my amazing son Hayden and his journey from the flat-footed toddler who was non-verbal to the dino-loving, affectionate amazing little dude that I am beyond proud of.
It wasn’t an easy road and a longer journey than we anticipated, but we got there in the end.
Episode 4
Keegan’s Autism Journey
On this week’s podcast I talk about the baby and boss of the house Keegan and his autism journey from birth right up to now, the end of Primary 1.
I will explain the differences between Keegan’s journey compared to Hayden’s and the struggles we have dealt with and continue to face.
Episode 5
Autism & Discipline In Our Lives
Hear how my family and I cope with our children’s behaviour and ways we have found to discipline in a way that is fair and works for us.
**Disclaimer this is how we work as a family and may not be suitable for others, it just gives you a little insight to our family dynamic.
Episode 6
Mum Guilt & How It Affects Me
Every parent feels guilt at some point in their child’s life. When it comes to kids with special needs, well sometimes we as parents feel more guilt – did we chose the right school? Did we get them diagnosed soon enough? Did I wait too long to talk to someone.
I share it all…
Episode 7
Signs Of Autism
In this week’s episode, I wanted to talk about autism signs, little traits and movements that your child or even you as an adult make as well as behaviours that could be a sign of autism.
First off I want to point out that I am not an expert, just a mum who has been on this journey now for a few years and wants to help otters in whatever way she can. I don’t mean to sound preachy or egotistical, but I want to be honest and open about what I know and how we started this journey as a family.
Episode 8
Autism Unmasking
I wanted to talk this week about a autism trait that I only recently came across and then fell down a rabbit hole researching.
Autism unmaking is a form of hiding ones true self from others so as to appear ‘normal’ to fit in with peers.
Acting like everyone else, not allowing yourself to stim in public or forcing yourself to make eye contact even though it’s comfortable for you.
So since I learnt this new term, I thought I would share what I now know and my thoughts.
