We are better together, whatever Skies We’re Under.

Rachel and Rochelle have husbands with the same name and children with the same cheeks and level of complex disabilities. This podcast is full of laughter and also manages to cover traumatic topics such as suicide, still birth and child loss.
We joke and stumble through;
Blended diet - successes and failures
Epilepsy – Keto diet
Supporting friends through baby loss
There is also a revelation (despite Sarah’s warning about revealing too much in the podcast).
Rochelle blogs over at My Daily Miracle. She’s a mum of two and works as an LSA in a special needs school. You can find everything Rochelle at www.mydailymiracle.co.uk and at My Daily Miracle on Facebook and @lifewithlissencephaly_rochelle on Instagram.

This is everything I love about podcasts; it’s funny, real, useful and has the most tender conversations brimming with love. In this podcast recorded in December 2022, Jessica Moxham, mother and architect, talks about her book ‘The Cracks that Let the Light In’ on bringing up her disabled son; How complicated it is when our children are in hospital, making homes accessible and doing the best we can.
You can buy her book anywhere that sells good books but beware! As well as being beautifully written, it might just challenge your perspective on disability, ableism and if you’re listening on Audible, make you pull over in the car to ugly cry. It’s crammed with the complexity, beauty and power of a mother’s heart with a side helping of smashing the patriarchy.
