40: Ani Glass: Embracing The Deaf Community With Your Child

My guest this week is a special one because she’s one of my besties! Ani and I have been friends for nearly 22 years and she was one of my bridesmaids when she was pregnant with her daughter Melyn. After Melyn was born Ani and her partner found out she was deaf. In this episode we talk about the importance of allowing yourself to sit in the grief of a diagnosis, self preservation when researching a diagnosis, and the decision to go ahead with surgery for cochlear implants and what that now means for Melyn.

Ani is a (fabulous) musician and she also discusses how she’s making her music and performances more inclusive for the deaf community. You can find out all about Ani’s music - and buy some merch – here:
