    May 30 2023

    In this episode, I am joined once again by Sophie and Talya from Bonded by Babies. Bonded by Babies is an amazing platform that helps inspire, motivate and educate mums on all things motherhood and family life. The unexpected content creators who have two kids each came onto tell me what it was like to receive the diagnosis that one of their kids has Autism and Global Development Delay.


    It is a super powerful episode that taught me alot about the trials and tribulations of raising a child with autism. Sophie and Talya powerfully describe the emotions felt throughout the journey, which is not over yet. From dealing with educational professionals, doctors, therapists and a number of other professioanls - the amount of support they require is outstanding.


    If these guys aren't extraordinary, I don't know who is.
