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.

Join Lucy and Rachel on Episode 2 of 'The Skies We’re Under' podcast as they ride the waves of frustration, rage, broken systems, unhelpful comments and hormonal imbalance on the good ship HTS Rifton.
Rachel talks about continence systems and products (Uribag, Rifton) and the continued challenges of transitioning from Childrens' to Adult Services
Lucy and Rachel reflect that as awesome as we are, we are not Superhuman, and that the decisions we’re forced to make and the comments we hear build an unhelpful myth of resilience.
HRT patches are praised for helping navigate the stormy waters, and also, helpfully, not killing your families… Menopause
