Melissa and Jane have been caring for their daughters for over 20 years, helping them to lead hugely successful lives. But they've made some mistakes along the way, and learnt a lot. Or, learnt the hard way.

They've been tired, burnt out, broke, ignored, isolated - yet still expected to keep going.


Let's Take Care is their way of helping other carers of disabled children feel less alone - and more equipped to cope with the realities of care that no one talks about.


In each episode they'll talk about the emotional and mental weight of lifelong care - what it's like to fight the system constantly and how to survive practically, emotionally, physically.

They'll be sharing what they wish they knew 20 years ago ... and hoping to make you laugh as well.

    Being a carer can take a mental and physical toll.

    In this New Year episode Jane and Melissa talk about how over the years, they sacrificed their health as they prioritised their children - and why they wished they hadn't.

    Melissa opens up about her cancer, and Jane talks about her heart condition.

    The two mums share their tips on staying healthy, and they discuss how looking after themselves has made them better parents and partners.

    From sound baths to country walks, this episode is full of practical tips plus, as always, plenty of laughs.

    Being a carer for a young adult with profound disabilities is tough - but it's not our children that make it hard - they're a blessing. It's the system that puts carers under constant pressure.

    In this episode Melissa and Jane share their greatest frustrations and discuss the many difficulties families face when they're caring for a child with disabilities.

    This episode is a tongue-in-cheek glimpse at the worries caused by the seemingly never-ending bureaucracy that weighs them down.

    As always, Melissa and Jane manage to look on the bright side as they rage against the machine.

    Whether you're a carer or not, you can't fail to be touched by this insightful episode of Let's Take Care.

    Plus...the two mums reveal details of a very special guest who's lined up for the next episode.
