The SHE Word Mums - When Things Don't Go According To Plan

This is the episode you want to watch with a packet of tissues as the emotions are high. In this episode of TSWM, Nerissa sits down with 3 women to discuss when motherhood doesn’t go to plan. When you plan to start a family or when you imagine your children, you never quite imagine a disability or a diagnosis hanging over their head. No one dreams of holding their baby only to be told that there is something wrong. As a mum, you only want the best for your child and knowing they will be facing a world which is not quite built for them brings challenges, heart break and grief. The three mums in this show are Yazmin Helledie, Michelle de Maria and Sharon Attard de Giovanni. These ladies have a raw and emotional conversation about their inner feelings and how they navigated the disability and diagnosis, how they accepted the curve ball life threw their way in order to be able to adapt to their new reality. They talk of shock, heartbreak but also so much joy in everyday life raising these incredible warriors and advocating for a more inclusive society and a kinder world for them - because after all, they too deserve to take up space and have their voices heard.
