When I first became a parent, I knew my life was going to change—but I didn’t quite realise how much it would give me clarity and purpose. Having a premature baby, navigating NICU life, facing birth trauma, and walking the road of neurodiversity both personally and within my family—all of these experiences have shaped not only who I am, but also what I do.
And so, I want to share with you where I’m heading with my business, The Good, The Bad, and Your Parenting Journey—because it’s more than just a brand. It’s a mission. A movement. A safe space for families who often feel unseen.
My Vision
My goal is simple but powerful:
To create a network of support, education, and connection for parents—especially those navigating premature birth, neurodiversity, or parenting with additional needs themselves.
Whether you’re trying to figure out how to manage sleepless nights, learning to advocate for your neurodivergent child in a school setting, or just needing someone to say “I see you”—that’s where my work comes in.
What I’m Building
Here’s what’s in the pipeline:
1. Books and Blogs
From personal reflections to helpful guides, I’m continuing to publish content that reassures parents they are not alone. I write about NICU life, mental health, disability, loss, and everything in between.
2. Podcast Expansion
My podcast, The Good, The Bad, and Your Parenting Journey, is growing. I’m inviting professionals, parents, and people with lived experience to open up real conversations. We talk about things that don’t always get airtime—from PND to SEN diagnoses to grief and everything in-between.
3. Retreats and Support Spaces
I’m currently working on creating retreat days and workshops for parents, giving them a chance to reset, connect, and be heard. These won’t be “woo-woo”—they’ll be practical, honest, and full of empathy.
4. Campaigns for Change
Projects like Pumping for Preemies and advocating for better bereavement care are central to my business mission. I want to challenge policies and shine a light on real struggles so that future parents don’t face the same barriers I did.
5. Resources for NICUs, Baby Banks & Schools
I’m developing info sheets, mini books, and guides that hospitals, schools, and baby banks can share with families. I want every parent to be handed something that says “we see you” at just the right moment.
Why It Matters
This business isn’t about profit—it’s about purpose.
Every blog, book, voice note, or podcast episode is built with love and deep understanding. I’ve lived through the fear, the exhaustion, the grief, and the beauty of parenting when the journey takes an unexpected turn. And now I want to help others feel less alone.
