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.

Less support + Less equipment + Less routine + Higher expectations = Holidays
Or as we like to call it, having a different kitchen sink. As ever Rachel, Sarah and Lucy give the slightly sweary warts and all version of life, stresses and loves of parenting a disabled child.

So much has happened since the end of Season 1 we thought you might want a catch-up. Brace yourselves though as not much has gone to plan – nothing new there then!
As ever, just talking and being real with each other helps the big deep breath and sense of not being alone.

Here we have some of our favourite extracts from Season 1 of The Skies We’re Under podcast. We had to do a ‘best of’ episode because we couldn’t end on episode 19 -that would be all kinds of wrong.
If you’re wondering whether to listen to any of the episodes, here is a sneak peek at some of our truth telling, laughing and the things we’re learning as we trundle along.
Confessions of an optimistic parent
Little white lies
HELP!
Self-care – what it is not
Sex-ed
