Join Rachel and Lucy for Episode 13 of 'The Skies We’re Under' podcast. They are joined by the always insightful Jo Holmes, who talks about her life as a recovering Speech and Language Therapist.

Rachel and Sarah are joined by the absolutely awesome Dr. Mazal Tasgal as they talk about all things communication. They dare to go off the ‘middle of the road’ pathways to explore the ways to nurture and develop communication, building on our innate ability to communicate with our child, right from the start.
You can learn more about Mazal’s work here, and also the wonderful charity who supported her family at the start of their journey at special effect.
Rachel and Sarah also share their To-Do lists (even their secret ones!) and Rachel finally figures out what Number 5 actually meant - (it was Turtle Braces)
