📣 Episode five is live! 📣

This week, The SEN Mums' Career Club host Leisa Millar sits down with global PR director Natalie Trice to discuss the chaos Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) has wreaked on both of their families, and dig into some of the difficult issues around surgery.

🏥 How can we, as mothers, come to terms with the fact that we are handing our children over to doctors who will cause them pain?

🏥 How do we deal with people staring at a child in a cast, as if we’re the ones who have hurt them?

🏥 How can we keep pushing on in our careers when medical care requirements become intense, and uncertainty about future treatments is ever present?

🚀 It’s episode 4! Let’s go! 🚀

In the latest episode of The SEN Mums' Career Club, host Leisa Millar pins down Kate Blackmore, a friend and paediatric ENT surgeon who also has a child with Kabuki Syndrome.

In this unmissable conversation, we explore the balance between caring for a child with SEN whilst also, professionally, being responsible for the medical care of other children.

We cover:

💊 What it’s like to get a genetic diagnosis for your child when you’re medically trained

💊 Experiences of stepping into disabled spaces for the first time

💊 Staying sane when you’re dealing with a high-stakes situation both at home and at work

…And so much more.

🔊 Podcast klaxon – episode 3 has landed! 🔊

Is a SEN-trepreneur a thing? If it were, SEN mum and serial entrepreneur Debs Aspland would surely be its definition.

📝 Need all your notes in one place? Debs has created a planner for that.

💸 Need to work for yourself because regular employment is now impossible? Debs will teach you how through SPACE: the Society of Parent And Carer Entrepreneurs.

🎸 Need to find a festival suitable for your disabled teen? Debs founded Festability, the UK’s first fully inclusive festival, when she discovered there was no such provision for her own growing children.

Debs’ can-do attitude is infectious, and you won’t want to miss this conversation that boils down to the one thing that terrifies many SEN mums more than most: how to make enough money not only to live on, but to ensure our children are cared for properly when we’re no longer around to do it ourselves.
