In this week’s episode we chat to Ebony Uamaki
Ebony is an mother of 4 children under 5 (including twins), an intuitive reader and a coach. She is also completely blind.
Ebony has worked with thousands of people around the world sharing her intuition, insights and wisdom. And today she shares them with us.
As you will soon hear, in many aspects of her life, Ebony’s disability has challenged her. Growing up she endured child abuse, bullying and complex trauma- at times related to her disability. But when it comes to both her work and motherhood, it has become her greatest gift. As Ebony says: her insight has become her eyesight.
Throughout the episode, Ebony discusses some of the logistics of navigating motherhood when you are blind, how matrescence was a catalyst for her personal growth, her decision to employ a support worker, how she is fostering secure attachments with her children and so much more.
This conversation was both profound and hilarious. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting.
