Deaf Motherhood, Identity & Lipreading in a Pandemic Episode with Amy MortonThe Inadequate Mother Podcast I sit down with the brilliant Amy Morton, founder of Living with Hearing Loss, to explore her powerful journey through Deaf motherhood, identity, and advocacy.

Amy shares how becoming a mother reshaped her sense of self, and why she launched Living with Hearing Loss during the COVID-19 pandemic—a time when lipreaders like her faced immense challenges due to mask mandates and inaccessible communication.We’ve known each other for years, and this episode gave us a beautiful chance to reconnect and reflect on everything that’s changed in the last five years.

From navigating motherhood as a Deaf woman to building community and raising awareness, Amy’s story is both moving and inspiring.✨ This episode is fully interpreted in British Sign Language (BSL) to ensure accessibility for our Deaf audience.

🎥 Watch now and join the conversation about inclusion, motherhood, and the power of shared experience.
