Join Rachel and Lucy for Episode 18 of The Skies We’re Under podcast.
They are joined by the wonderful Caro Giles who reflects on navigating systems where we don’t fit, home education and finding connection with others in an isolating world.
You can find more of Caro’s writing here:
Rachel and Lucy cover a broad range of themes, the ramifications of being forever ‘on-edge’ (getting videos whilst you’re at a comedy gig), the need to cry, the ways we keep a lid on our feelings, and how we sometimes just need to let it all out.
There’s also lots of reflection collectively on the joy that is connection with others, be that like minded parents, or those around us who don’t live it, but just get it.
We celebrate the joy of books you can pick up and put down (like Caro’s book Twelve Moons) and also podcasts like our own.
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.

It is not long until we get the chance to vote in the general election and this week on the podcast we chat about how we might be able to raise our collective voices with Rina and Lauren from the brilliant F**king Normal Podcast.
They imagine what they’d like to say to the powers that be, how invisible the lives of disabled people are, and the need for accessible child care for working parents (especially mothers who still carry the majority of the mental load).
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.
