This week we're travelling back in time to the first ever episode of 'The Skies We're Under'. Back to a time when we didn't have studio production to keep the sound crisp and we still had the energy to beep out all the swears.

Content warning the topics of childhood cancer, birth trauma, chromosome duplication and severe disability is discussed.

Rachel Wright, Lucy Parr and Sarah Clayton introduce themselves and their families (as they were back in early 2022). They all have different experiences of becoming parents of children with complex needs and how that impacted their identity as women and parents. The conversations they have sometimes even makes them exclaim, “That’s not my name.”

Since this episode the podcast has gone from strength to strength and almost 130 episodes later there's still so much to discuss and share with our wonderful listeners, the families of people with complex disabilities and the many practitioners that support us.

Moving forward we need your help to keep producing new episodes. You or your organisation can sponsor a season or advertise within an episode. Email us to find out more.
