Neurodiverse people make up about 12% of Australians and are often underrepresented and misunderstood and so it is really important to have conversations and bring awareness to such a deserving topic. In this episode, Sarah, mum of 3 children, 2 with neurodiversity, chats to me about her experiences becoming a mother and realising her children were different and seeking answers. Sarah talks about the challenges of raising children with neurodiversity in a neurotypical world but also the beauty that it brings, looking at the world through a different lens. Sarah speaks to her motherhood journey and fighting an eating disorder, relationship changes and struggling to find where her family fits on the spectrum. Sarah has a wealth of knowledge and experience and offers her experience raising neurodiverse children to help other families walking the same path.
In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Sarah Z, a courageous mother and founder of Birth Made Mindful, who shares her transformative journey through birth experiences and her subsequent path to becoming a doula. Sarah's story begins with a difficult birth that unexpectedly turned into a caesarean section with her first baby. Determined to have a different experience in her subsequent births, Sarah embarked on a quest for knowledge and empowerment.
As Sarah delved into birth preparation for her second and third pregnancies, she came to the realisation that the challenges she faced were not her fault. Through her personal experiences, she discovered that essential elements were missing from traditional birth education that could empower women in any birthing scenario.
Can We Talk About This? is available on all podcast platforms for your listening pleasure.
