The thecarerschat's Podcast

We love a special guest! And this one is super special. Charlinda Parsons is an Occupational Therapist who supports many teens in her role. There are heaps of strategies for younger children on movement, and especially as we navigate reduced services.  However, not many have mentioned teens.  Kate, Fi and Charlinda explore this.

Hi friends, Kate and Fi were chatting on the weekend about how we have to adapt so quickly to daily changes and the pressure to get it right straight away! So, we popped into an office today and recorded our podcast.Note - Fi sounds a little fainter in this episode....social distancing! We hope these real strategies and stories help you to feel less pressure and totally encouraged!

Hi friends,We filmed this little podcast in February but have whipped it out now because in times of challenge and change, being able to look for little moments to exercise and release stress is important.  We are not gym gurus, nor are we doctors, so check with a health professional before you do any big exercise.  This podcast explores our stories on how we have used exercise to feel mentally better as we care for our children.Note- we mention things like group exercise.  During this COVID-19 time, this may not be possible, so we encourage you to jump online and see what free things you can do from home.Big love to you! Thanks for joining Kate and Fi!

We love chatting to Carers! Today, we have the privilege of chatting to our friend, Tanya.  Tanya is the mum and carer of a primary aged, non verbal child and has just decided to study something that will be of benefit for him.  But, in the meantime, has found that this new path has captured her heart!We hope you enjoy it!Also, small apology if for a couple of minutes, this interview sounds like it is a little distorted.  We are still learning!

This week, Kate and Fi unpack managing transitions, change and anxiety. We can almost sense you nodding along to some of the shared experiences!
