Episode 3! Thank your for joining me, and to everyone who has tuned in so far. Today is my first guest episode and I'm so excited for you to hear it.



Today I'm chatting to Kelsie, a mum to beautiful Kora who has Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome is a rare genetic, neurodevelopmental disability which occurs almost exclusively in girls, which progressively leads to loss of speech, loss of hand function, involuntary hand movements, loss of mobility, difficulty swallowing and a range of other difficulties. We discuss:

- Kelsie's reaction when she first found out that Kora had Rett Syndrome and the reasons that her and her husband decided to seek professional opinions

-what is life like with Kora, her sister, and a new baby on the way

-how do Kelsie and her husband Mitch look after themselves with the added responsibilities of caring for a child with a disability.

This podcast is a combination of two of my favourite things: being a mum, and helping people by being a speech pathologist.

I know how hard it is to find a speech pathologist at the moment, and I know how hard it is to be a parent who just wants to help their child, so I've combined the two of those to help parents feel a bit more supported, and a bit less alone!

It's not your average parenting podcast though, I will be chatting about my "life stacks" and "life hacks" to have a little fun, and bring some guests along for the ride.
