In this week's episode, Rina and Lauren discuss the importance of connecting with people who share your experience, building a community (hello the fkingnormal podcast!) and just how valuable this is for providing a safe space to cope through difficulties — together. They interview Australian author and advocate Melanie Dimmitt on her journey to accepting her less typical parenting path, what she has learnt and what she has now done to support others in a similar position. Mel shares her initial feelings on hearing her son's diagnosis, her path to finding acceptance and how connecting with others in similar situations opened her eyes and prompted her to write her debut book. The group discuss their own routes to acceptance and how building support networks with others was the life line that they all needed. Mel speaks candidly about her own struggles, but also highlights just how relieving it was to find others that she could relate so deeply to.Guest BiographyMelanie Dimmitt is an Australian freelance journalist. She is also a mother of two young children, one with profound physical disabilities and the other she describes as ‘medically boring', but both cute as hell. She released her debut book ‘Special: Antidotes to the Obsessions that Come with a Child's Disability' and has written, spoken, podcasted and advocated far and wide for parent's on similar parenting journeys. She currently heads up news and features at disability support organisation, Hireup, and publishes The Blend – an annual magazine for the tube-feeding community. She also hosts the NDIS Know-how podcast, where she aims to help parents navigate the difficult Australian disability insurance system.Instagram- @the_special_bookwww.melaniedimmitt.com.auContent WarningsDiagnosisLife Limiting Disabilities ResourcesThe Blend Magazine -www.theblendmag.comBook- Special - Antidotes to the Obsessions that come with a child's disabilityhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Special-Antidotes-obsessions-childs-disabilityThe NDIS Know How Podcast - https://hireup.com.au/ndis-know-how/ Hosted on Acast.

In the final episode of season two, Mel chats with tech entrepreneur, brand expert and NDIS participant Steve Ralph. At the end of 2017, Steve misjudged a jump into a swimming pool and sustained a spinal cord injury that saw him become a quadriplegic. Steve now needs significant support to go about his day and he's got some very cool assistive tech to help him get out adventuring, like modified bikes and kayaks and an all-terrain wheelchair. He shares how he manages his NDIS funds with the help of a support coordinator and his advice for people who are new to the scheme. In very exciting news, Steve is hosting a new, soon-to-launch podcast for Hireup called Life Rolls On. This series sees Steve chatting with other people who've experienced life-changing injuries – and sharing the challenges and triumphs they've had since.

EPISODEThis is part two of last week's HireUp episode, where Minh sits down with Aviva from HireUp's ILO team to discuss what exactly is ILO and why it may be the perfect option for both an investor and a participant. 'Individualised Living Options (ILO) let you choose how, where and who you live with. For example, you might use your NDIS ILO funding to provide a stipend to a supportive housemate, host, mentor or neighbour for some structured support throughout the week. Or, you might choose to live with another NDIS participant and share some of your supports.'

Our guest, Shaheen, shares her personal journey with deep listening and how that has increased her effectiveness in her work. We weave this theme in with the story of Project Oxygen Mask, a mental health campaign conceived after noticing her own mental state and listening to others in the organisation to understand their experience.

Harriet Dwyer went from working as a grant researcher to revolutionizing support work in Australia as the Chief of Staff at Hireup. By removing the traditional agency middleman, Hireup's online platform connects people with disabilities directly to support workers that fit their lifestyle.Previously, people with disabilities in Australia had virtually zero control over how government funds were used for the support they needed. The money was usually given to nonprofit organizations that decided how the support was structured and who was sent to assist each person. Hireup's co-founder, Jordan O'Reilly, witnessed his brother suffer through this inadequate system and decided it was time for a change. The rise in peer-to-peer platforms like Uber and Airbnb sparked an idea — what if receiving disability support was that convenient and personalized? Intrigued by the thought, he set out to remove the middleman of disability support care in Australia. "What I think Jordan did really well at the start is he hired entrepreneurial people," Harriet says on this episode of The Empowered Challenger. It was vital to be surrounded by individuals who could work together to figure out answers for challenges they had no idea how to approach, such as funding, regulation, and safety. One of the most important — and at the time, controversial — decisions Hireup made was to hire its support workers as employees, rather than independent contractors like most other platforms did. Harriet says this decision "just felt right," as they wanted their workers to form longstanding, healthy relationships and feel valued. Hireup describes itself as a "profit for a purpose" company. It was the first purpose-led business to top Deloitte's list of fastest-growing tech companies and its market share will only continue to grow as it empowers more people with disabilities to make their own support decisions.
