    In today's episode, we are thrilled to be back with the CF choir, guided by our singing teacher Sarah.

    We'll be exploring some brilliant tunes, such as Sunshine on My Shoulders and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go! while learning vocal techniques to help develop and support our voices.

    We also chat with some of our singers to discover why music means so much to them. Stay tuned, and sing along with us if you know the words!

  • Ep 42: We Meet Hasel, an Artist With Asperger's & Discuss How Opening Up Makes Us Feel
    Sep 5 2025

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode, we interview the incredible artist Hasel, who began creating art during lockdown and now produces a new piece almost every day. She opens up about living with Asperger’s and shares how painting and drawing have boosted her confidence and helped her express herself more clearly.

    We are treated to another poem by Carol, titled Memories / My Place. A gentle reflection on the places and moments that bring her peace, joy, and a deep sense of belonging.

    Lastly, the group reflects on how bearing their souls on the show over the past few years has helped them — in both positive and challenging ways

  • Ep 41: Meet Maria, Fitbit Anxiety & the 'Hidden Disabilities' Lanyard
    Jul 11 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we welcome our newest member, Maria, and get to know her story. We ask about her life experiences and discover how she navigates the world with restricted eyesight—always with resilience and an incredible sense of humour.

    Later, Gila shares an honest and heartfelt review of her experience using a Fitbit. She opens up about the anxiety it triggered and how being constantly monitored 24/7 took a toll on her well-being. Tune in to hear how she reclaimed peace by stepping away from the pressure of data-driven health tracking.

    Lastly we celebrate our 1000th download and give ourselves a well deserved pat on the back.
