Fiona is mama to Casey, a 2 year old living with Prader-Willi syndrome. She shared with me her birth story and the challenges that arose from some common PWS characteristics. We also talked diagnosis, not looking too far ahead, and the beautiful lessons that can be learned from being the mother to a child born with a genetic condition. I also share a recently written piece called, “This Is Not Political.”

71: Domestic Violence, Hope-Makers, and Erica Bowen
Erica Bowen spent much of her career in violence prevention. She is a registered Forensic and Coaching Psychologist and the Imagineer of The Hope-Makers Limited, coaching for social entrepreneurs and now a podcast. We discussed some of the knowns and unknowns about domestic violence, both within the special needs community and without. Erica talked about some signs to watch out for or patterns to notice, and then we discussed the very real and alarming increase in domestic violence cases with the onset of the pandemic. We spoke about how to help protect our children and the importance of having the right conversations about healthy relationships. We closed off this episode on a more positive note, the topic of hope, and Erica’s coaching work, and her new podcast, The Hope-Makers.
