Holidays (Same S**t, Different Location) Recast | S5 | E22
2026/07/22
Our final episode of Season 5 is Rachel, Sarah and Lucy give the slightly sweary warts and all version of life, stresses and loves of parenting a disabled child with the full expectations of summer
Less support + Less equipment + Less routine + Higher expectations = Holidays
Lucy swears more than normal, spoiler alert (none of us have managed a relaxing summer break yet) and we’re all a bit p****d about all the Instagram spam of leisurely summer family trips away.*

AAC, Tech and the Power of Real Connection Recast | S5 | E18
2026/06/24
Dr. Beth Moulam, Paralympian, researcher, advocate and award-winning all-round superhuman chatted with Rachel back in season 4.
Beth shared her thoughts on the communication tools we all use, and the tools she uses. The challenges she faces (spoiler alert – it’s normally other people), and the joy she finds in creating new connections, and creating community around her, in the breathtaking number of fields she’s involved in.
Rachel, Sarah and Lucy bring updates and reflections, there’s news from the Moths, and Lucy broke a TSWU record, by swearing right from the outset – having to bring “all your BLEEPING podcast BEEP to work is not the best way to start the day!
You can find more about Beth on her website and you tube page. Since this recording she’s also written a book which is due in the Autumn and available for pre-order now.

Hijacked by Parenthood Recast | S5 | E12
2026/05/13
In this recast from season 2 episode 3 Rachel talks to Lucy and Sarah about how being the parents of people with complex needs has taken over – well … everything. How we have changed and transitioned through seasons of our life and our child’s life. It covers:
The emotional phases we go through – rage, resignation and resolve.
Deputyship and power of attorney – who needs it and why?
Realising there isn’t such a thing as ‘it’ll be easier when…’
How none of us is Mother Teresa incarnate.
One of our biggest roles as parents is to enable our children to have fun and feel safe without us.
We talk about how we might try and shift the idea of motherhood being at its best when we are frantically doing everything for our children, to one where we celebrate and share stories of our children loving life without us. #FunWithoutMum

Sorry the life you ordered is currently out of stock Recast | S5 | E8
2026/04/15
In this recast of the second ever episode of ‘The Skies We’re Under’ Lucy, Sarah and Rachel talk about some of the helpful and unhelpful ways they deal with times of stress and transition.
This is not professional advice but an honest conversation about the trust of complex realities and how they try to live life well.
Content warning: Very early on in this episode we talk about the fear and potential for childhood death, DNACPR, childhood cancer and stroke.
They also do laugh a lot because this world we live in manages to have both sadness and laughter– despite the absurdity of it all.
Please do not listen to this episode if this will not serve you well. They also discuss the importance of conversations about children’s end of life care. Details of resources are below.
The following resources are discussed during the podcast:
ReSPECT documents and end of life discussions.
Completing the stress cycle. You can listen to the brilliant podcast with Brene Brown, Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski, How to complete the stress cycle. Or read Emily and Amelia’s book.
