Mandy and Kate talk to Jacqui and Nick, pea parents of gorgeous 16-year-old James – Mandy’s daughter Molly’s best friend from school. James has been diagnosed with autism and an intellectual disability, and is a social, vivacious and a popular kid who is a much-loved friend to Molly and his other classmates. Jacqui and Nick reflect on James’ birth, early development delays and the journey towards diagnosis, where no matter what, their goal was to always make sure James was feeling as happy as possible. They also reflect on James’ school experience, including the great moments, the rectum moments and the particular challenge of ‘fitting in’ the specialist school system – which currently needs evolution and innovation to better meet the needs of 21st century young people with disabilities and neurodiversity. Jacqui and Nick also share more about James’ passion for fashion and make up and his job as a barista at social enterprise Tasty Az! Also, Mandy and Kate announce an exciting new event coming up for our Melbourne Peas – the Pea Lunch at the Ferntree Gully Hotel! Jacqui is the venue manager at the hotel and has helped arrange a special event buffet lunch where everyone can come, enjoy time as a family, feel welcome and enjoy meeting other Peas and Peashoots – with plenty of nuggets guaranteed!

Chrissy talks about Gigi Bib

Kate and Mandy speak to Chrissy - a Pea, entrepreneur and founder of Gigi Bib - the world's only one-handed, wake-proof, accessorisable baby & toddler bib range! Chrissy founded Gigi Bib following the birth of her three-year-old daughter Gigi, who was born with a rare genetic condition called Mosaic Trisomy 20. Gigi was a tricky sleeper who could take up to six hours to settle and would often only fall asleep with a bottle. As Gigi would dribble a lot while feeding, she would still need to wear a bib, which was then hard to remove without waking her. Chrissy needed a simple, quiet way to remove her bib that didn’t make any noise or disturb her, and decided to develop it herself! After two years of research and development, the Gigi Bib range has now launched and is available to buy via their website. Chrissy is also aiming to develop products to assist adults with disabilities and to launch a foundation to support people living with rare diseases. Chrissy also shared her story of searching for a diagnosis for Gigi, where she needed to consistently question and challenge the specialists involved in her care to address and diagnose Gigi’s condition properly. She encourages all parents to feel comfortable in trusting their own wisdom, asking questions and keeping in mind that doctors are human and don’t always get everything right. A huge shout out to Amy too – Gigi and Mandy’s daughter Molly’s mutual support worker and the reason why Chrissy and Mandy know each other!

I can jump puddles - super pea Jacqui talks about bringing up Kurt

Mandy and Kate talk to super Pea Jacqueline Fearnley, the mother of Kurt Fearnley AO, three-time Paralympic gold medalist and two-time Commonwealth Games gold medalist. Kurt also joins Jacqui in the podbar for this special chat with a magical Australian Pea family. A trailblazer for Peas everywhere, Jacqui shares her story of bringing up her fifth baby Kurt, who was born with congenital disorder lumbar sacral agenisis. Following his birth and early hospitalisation, when it wasn’t clear whether he’d even survive, Jacqui and her husband were delighted to bring Kurt home to meet his older siblings and begin life in his small country hometown in New South Wales. Jacqui talks about adjusting to life with a baby with special needs, including dealing with rectum comments, therapy appointments, equipment, early intervention and hospital visits. Jacqui defied the advice she was given at the time to keep Kurt clean and cared for inside, watching the world at the window, and ensured that he enjoyed the active and outdoorsy childhood he deserved to have - out in the paddocks with his brothers, chasing rabbits and riding horses, definitely not clean and getting up to mischief! Jacqui found the classic Australian book I Can Jump Puddles the perfect inspiration for enabling an inclusive and active childhood for Kurt. Jacqui, Kurt, Mandy and Kate share a lot of laughs, stories and a couple of tears about Kurt’s adolescence and his growing involvement in sports, where he found confidence, community, incredible success and the opportunity to travel the world. Thank you Jacqui and Kurt for sharing your remarkable story with us!
