Family planning can be complicated even in the most straight-forward of situations, but when parents have a child with a disability family planning can feel even more challenging to navigate. On this episode of The Bitching and Bolusing Podcast we sit down to discuss how we waded through the waters of pregnancy after HIE, the challenges we faced, and where we are now with our family dynamics.

Marketing campaigns are an important way for companies to sell products or services to customers, including the disabled community. These companies , however, have a responsibility to create campaigns that provide respectful and ethical representation. When these companies fail to do this, they put their own target audience at risk.
On this episode of The Bitching and Bolusing Podcast, we sit own to discuss just what can happen when a company fails to maintain ethics in marketing.

Fallout may be a smash hit on Amazon Prime, but it got us to thinking...."what would we ACTUALLY do in the event of nuclear bomb?". No, we couldn't just strap our kids and their wheelchairs to the back of a horse and go galloping off to a Vault the way Cooper Howard did. Chances are those Vaults wouldn't be stocked with our kids medications anyhow. In this episode we sit down and chat about our extremely unrealistic plans if we were to live in Fallout! So grab your iodine pills and let's get to bitchin'!

From the moment we learn of our children's disability - be it before or after birth - we are told go do as much therapy for them as possible. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, all of the therapy. While therapy is a useful and necessary medical intervention, it can sometimes become overwhelming and completely consuming. Where do we draw the line of "improving quality of life" and "fixing the disability"? Disability is not something that needs to be fixed, yet so often the narrative surrounding therapy can feel as such. We sit down with Clare (that.feisty.disabled.girl on Instagram) to discuss a different perspective on therapy for disabled children. Clare is currently in school to earn her degree in Occupational Therapy where they hope to eventually open their own private clinic working in pediatrics.

All parents are faced with making medical decisions for their children, but when your child is disabled or medically fragile those decisions can be more frequent and oftentimes carry more weight. As parents we are faced with hard decisions surrounding irreversible surgeries, medications that could have negative side affects or withdrawals, and trying to draw the line between the necessity of medical interventions and the potential impact on quality of life that intervention could have. So come sit down and bitch with us over the frustrations we sometimes feel surrounding these potential life-altering decisions.

Internalized ableism. We all have it. Yet so many parents struggle to acknowledge it, and can hardly even recognize it. This has a direct affect on our disabled children who may inherit some of that internalized ableism for themselves. On this episode of The Bitching and Bolusing Podcast we sit down to discuss our own struggles with internalized ableism and how we are working to counteract something that has been deeply rooted in us from an ableist society. So let's get to bitching!

Raising a child comes with a lot of responsibility, but when medical decisions, extra appointments, and support needs are involved those responsibilities increase. Most families have some sort of support - usually in the form of partnership, but what happens when you have to navigate all this alone? We sit down with Hope & Rachel, both single mothers to young children who have disabilities. They discuss their trials and tribulations through it all, how the system can fail families like theirs, and how being labeled as a "single mother" can alter the level of respect by some medical professionals.

There is a mental health crisis affecting everyone in the U.S. and beyond. Parents and caregivers of disabled individuals are no exception, and sometimes, due to lack of resources, respite, services, and support, mental health becomes an extra struggle for these families. However, it is important to seek help - and sometimes - alter your perspective on disability and caregiving. Not all mental health help is created equal, and in some cases staying in an "echo chamber" can hinder healing and growth. Not only does this have a negative affect on the individual and the family, but living in a state of despair has a negative impact on societies perception of disability.
March 1st is the Disability Day of Mourning, a day where we remember victims of filicide - those with disabilities who were murdered by their families. The fact that such a day even exists is proof that the mental health of parents and caregivers needs to be addressed. On this episode of The Bitching and Bolusing Podcast, we sit down to discuss the mental health crisis within the parenting community and we challenge families to view disability and caregiving in a different light.
