Tara’s professional background is in child rights yet despite her dedication to children, the transition to parenthood was not exactly smooth. This discussion goes everywhere:
-How can we work through our own biases, raise aware humans and bring hesitant others into such conversations in positive ways?
-Does “the Australian identity” even exist?
-What was it like to grow up neurodivergent and queer in a regional area, and how has this shaped both outlook and parenting?
-What if you only realise you’re bisexual after you’re a mother, partnered with a man?
-How can chronic illness shatter the myths of “perfect motherhood” and bring benefit and depth to our children’s youth, not only challenge or lack as is often portrayed?
It’s a hard one to describe, but I know you’ll love it.
