We're Not Your Typical Podcast

This is one of the most emotional stories we’ve ever shared.

Gabby opens up about her daughter Nelly’s journey from a terrifying moment in ICU where her heart stopped… to the life-changing diagnosis that followed.

What started as small signs that “something wasn’t right” turned into a fight for answers, leading to a diagnosis of Turner Syndrome — a rare genetic condition affecting 1 in 2000 girls.

This is a story about resilience, motherhood, and never giving up on your child ❤️

Simon is an autistic teacher working in a mainstream school — diagnosed later in life after years of masking, burnout, and being misunderstood.

In this episode, Simon opens up about what it’s really like navigating sensory overload, social expectations, and rigid school systems while supporting neurodivergent children every single day.

We talk about late diagnosis, autistic burnout, inclusive teaching, and why behaviour should be supported — not managed.

This conversation is essential listening for parents, educators, and anyone questioning whether the system truly works for neurodivergent minds.

🎧 Honest. Eye-opening. Needed.
