Not Another Mummy Podcast

Cathy Reay: The highs and Lows of parenting with a disability


Listen Later

I'm joined on this episode by someone I've wanted to have on as a guest for ages - writer and editor Cathy Reay. Born with dwarfism, Cathy is a disability consultant and writes about her experiences as a disabled, single mum.


Cathy talks to me today about her experiences of pregnancy, birth, new motherhood and single motherhood. She reflects on her own childhood with non-disabled parents and talks about the experiences of her daughters - both born with the same type of dwarfism; achondroplasia.


Cathy has contributed to We've Got This, a collection of essays and reflections by disabled parents across the world which you can buy here. You can also follow Cathy on Instagram and Twitter.
