Yvonne

Hi, I'm Yvonne. I'm a mum of two young adults aged 18 and 17, and I've been navigating family life for the past 19 years. I became a mum at 18, so in many ways I've grown up alongside my children. Over the years, our family has experienced many different challenges and changes, including single parenthood, difficult relationships, financial pressures, and the teenage years. More recently, receiving an ADHD & Autism diagnosis as an adult has been another important part of my journey. It has given me a different perspective on myself, my experiences, and the way I move through the world. Like many parents, family life hasn't always followed the path I expected. There have been difficult moments, happy moments, unexpected turns, and plenty of experiences that have shaped who I am today. Becoming a mum at a young age and growing alongside my children has given me plenty of experiences and perspectives that I'm happy to share as part of a conversation. Any conversation with me is based on my own personal experience — simply sharing what it has been like for us.
