This week I talk about why having a teen with chronic ill health doesn’t mean always putting your needs at the bottom of the pile.

This week I’m reflecting on the last 10 weeks and what it has meant for me and my daughter. I’m all about giving Mums and teens simple self-help tools so they can live their lives as calmly as possible, but I’ve actually been dropping my own self-help tools. What I’ve learnt is if we are aware of dropping those balls then we know how to pick them back up again…
