Have you ever left a school meeting or appointment feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or unsure if you said the right thing for your child?

In this episode of The Marvellous-U Podcast, I’m sharing practical, compassionate guidance on how to advocate confidently for your child — at school, in SEN meetings, and with professionals involved in their care.

As a mum, carer, psychology graduate, and author, I understand how intimidating school systems, medical language, and professional settings can feel. 

This episode is designed to help parents, especially those navigating SEND, additional needs, or complex care, feel informed, empowered, and confident using their voice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What advocacy really means (and what it doesn’t)
  • How to prepare for school meetings and professional appointments
  • What to say when you feel dismissed or ignored
  • How to advocate calmly and confidently without feeling confrontational
  • A mindset shift that helps you stop doubting yourself as a parent

You don’t need to be an expert — you are already your child’s best advocate.
