The Skies We’re Under
Nurse, author and Director of Born at the Right Time, Rachel Wright talks to fellow parents of people with disabilities and others in their community. With the power of story telling, laughter, swearing and useful information they create solace in knowing the warts and all truth of this off piste version of parenting. Whether a well seasoned parent, newbie, one of many practitioners supporting families or simply someone wanting to peak over the fence - you’re welcome to listen in. We are better together, whatever Skies We’re Under.

We are so happy to share our Live Episode with our listeners! Join Rachel, Sarah and Lucy AND Lost Voice Guy for this super special episode of The Skies We’re Under.
Lost Voice Guy talks about the funny and not so funny experiences he’s had, from his relationship with Kit, ski trips with his family and whether there ever will be a cure for being a Geordie.
We also hear the usual updates from Rachel, Sarah and Lucy. Lucy doesn’t swear once (she’s super proud of herself!)

The ability to connect with others is a joy. Rachel reflects on the things that support and prevent connection (technical and human!) with the brilliant Dr. Beth Moulam, Paralympian, researcher, advocate and award winning all round super human.
Beth shares her thoughts on the communication tools we all use, and the tools she uses. The challenges she faces (spoiler alert - it’s normally other people), and the joy she finds in creating new connections, and creating community around her, in the breathtaking number of fields she’s involved in.
Rachel, Sarah and Lucy bring updates and reflections, there's news from the Moths, and Lucy broke a TSWU record, by swearing right from the outset - having to bring “all your BLEEPING podcast BEEP to work is not the best way to start the day!
You can find more about Beth on her website and you tube page.

We get by with a little help from our friends…This week’s episode of The Skies We’re Under we’ve gone right back to the 1980s and made our very own mixtape!
In our series on community and connection we turn focusing on our friendships. The people who are a shoulder to cry on, a partner on the dance floor or just the unexpected person who shows up.
We hear from some of our wonderful listeners who left speakpipes recognising and thanking their own friends as well as Lucy Parr chatting to her “shit life off” friend Sarah - (not podcast Sarah). And Jo, who works behind the scenes on the podcast, chats with her friend and neighbour Lyndsey.
It’s all about the love stories of friendship.
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.
