This week our topic is “extreme juggling”. We talk to full time architect and mum, Helen Gamble-Shields about the challenges faced whilst juggling roles as carer, mum and architect and what she has learnt along the way.

Helen’s wonderful humour combined with her raw accounts of diagnosis, epilepsy and having to be in that constant state of alert give us a deep insight into their lives.

In the third episode of the F**king Normal Podcast, we talk to single-mum Vicky about relationships, whilst parenting a disabled child.

We discuss the lows of living with an abusive ex-partner, to the highs of Vicky and her disabled child’s ‘little love bubble’, with some dating stories, relationship thoughts, general ‘tittle tattle’ and hard won wisdom, along the way.

In the second episode Lauren and Rina speak to Gemma Sherlock and Jess Honeyball, both mothers of disabled and non disabled children about their experiences of those sibling relationships, parenting and making the decision to have more children.
