This week I’m joined by Jemma and Lisa, aka the SEND Mummies, sharing their experiences as parents of children with additional needs while running a business helping other families. They talk about their personal journeys, the challenges they face, and the importance of community support. We discuss the difficulties of navigating the SEND landscape, including the difficulties with DLA and EHCP processes, and the emotional weight of advocating for their children. Jemma & Lisa talk about their coping mechanisms for overwhelming days, the grief that can accompany the journey, and how far into the future each of them are happy to think.
