  • Dealing with your own sh*t with Shurron Rosales | S3 | E8
    Apr 17 2024

    Join Rachel and Sarah for Episode 8 of ‘The Skies We’re Under’ podcast as they do the best they can until they know better (Maya Angelou). They are joined this week by Shurron Rosales, who reflects on ableism, and the ways she has worked through the trauma of her past experiences, at the same time as becoming a better ally for her child and other disabled people.

    See Shurron's list of disabled influencers at the bottom of these show notes.*

    We also have a caller with a question for Rachel and Sarah…

  • Many Different Types of Sh*t | S3 | E7
    Mar 27 2024

    Join Rachel, Sarah and Lucy for episode 7 of 'The Skies We’re Under', as they navigate one plumbing disaster after another.

    Life can throw both figurative and literal sh*t our way sometimes. The trio reflect on this with their usual good humour and lack of filter.

    It’s also friends and family day today, with not one, but two cameos from our family members! We talk about how we cope with helpful comments that aren’t so helpful, and how to appreciate those around us who try and understand the skies we’re under, even if they aren’t under the same rain cloud (or sh*t storm - whatever you prefer.)

    We’d love to hear from you – we love sharing stories, we love hearing how things are going, the good, the bad, the snotty-crying ugly.
