The Skies We’re Under

Join Rachel for our third 'Raincheck' of the Summer.

This week is all about trust.

Rachel didn’t realise how important trust played in professional relationships until she transitioned from one end of the bed, as a healthcare professional, to the other, as a parent of someone with complex medical needs. The difference it makes is like taking a deep breath.

Rachel is joined by Lucy and Sarah, as they discuss planning for holidays, ‘winding down’ (AKA Winding us up) in the Summer Term, and how we can manage the expectation versus the reality when it comes to venturing out for a ‘break’ in this final episode of Season 3.

They share their best and worst holidays and their Top-Tips for surviving the Summer.

Rachel’s also excited to let you know about how we’ll be keeping you company between now and Season 4 with ‘Best Of’ Episodes and ‘Rainchecks’, and  there’s even some Top Titty/Best Booby Tales.

21 episodes are now available for your listening pleasure, please do rate and review the podcast wherever you listen.

The Bendrigg Trust;

Hippocampe;

Make A Wish Foundation;

Canvas and Campfires; 

Center Parcs and the absolutely awesome:

Join Rachel and Lucy for Episode 18 of The Skies We’re Under podcast.

They are joined by the wonderful Caro Giles who reflects on navigating systems where we don’t fit, home education and finding connection with others in an isolating world.

You can find more of Caro’s writing here:

Rachel and Lucy cover a broad range of themes, the ramifications of being forever ‘on-edge’ (getting videos whilst you’re at a comedy gig), the need to cry, the ways we keep a lid on our feelings, and how we sometimes just need to let it all out.

There’s also lots of reflection collectively on the joy that is connection with others, be that like minded parents, or those around us who don’t live it, but just get it.

We celebrate the joy of books you can pick up and put down (like Caro’s book Twelve Moons) and also podcasts like our own. 

We’d love to hear from you – we love sharing stories, we love hearing how things are going, the good, the bad, the snotty-crying ugly.
