Keeping your family safe, enjoying times of celebration and being real about what all that means. Rachel, Sarah and Lucy talk all the phases of life, getting used to new realities, and meeting the expectations of ourselves and others. Sarah and Lucy talk through their experiences of transitions around home ownership, packed with plenty of practical advice* Before the Big C is discussed. Talking all things Christmas planning, how to navigate gifts (both receiving and giving), and how to cope with the changes to routine that the period brings to try and make the most of the ‘most wonderful time of the year’. *The great resources that Sarah mentions include: My Safe Home HOLD - Home Ownership for Long Term Disability Small Support Programme Gloriously Ordinary Lives Thanks to the lovely folk at Safe Place Beds for sponsoring this week's episode.
