Hi! welcome to my little corner of the world, my name is Aimee, I am a Mum of two, one of which has a diagnosis of CLN2 Batten Disease, with this comes epilepsy, severe learning difficulties and a whole host of other things. Day to day life can be exhausting, hard to navigate, lonely and heart breaking BUT I try to have a positive view on life, make happy memories with those that I love and care about.

I want to use my experience of live so far (with a special needs child) to help others, bring a community of parents together and encourage others to live life as best they can. Through listening to me (and future guests) I hope you will learn, laugh and find enjoyment in your road ahead

Over coming episodes I hope to educate, encourage, inspire, support, share and hold space for us all. I am on a learning journey which I'd like you will join me on too.

A little more about me.

I love: family, visiting the beach even though I don't like sand, woodland walks, listening to podcasts (favourites include Mel Robbins, Minimalish and Law of Attraction Saved My Life) decluttering and organising (other peoples homes - not my own!) and crocheting. I love to help people, take the kids swimming and horse riding and lastly I ADORE my loving husband.

Whether you have a special needs child or not, I hope you'll join me over the coming episodes & help enable me to not only help others, but help me to find my own identity again as Mum navigating this journey I find myself on . Please SUBSCRIBE to get my podcast to others, Thank you!
