Finding Strength in the Chaos: A Carer’s Story of Grit, Grief & Growth

Natalie Terry Bedwell never planned for a life filled with diagnoses, advocacy, and navigating complex care systems, but it’s the life she’s embraced with courage and clarity. In this moving episode, Natalie shares what it's like to raise seven children, four of whom live with disabilities, while also managing her own diagnoses of ADHD and autism.From unexpected grief to unexpected joy, Natalie walks us through the hard-won lessons of parenting, caring, and choosing to create inclusive spaces through her business, Honoured Social Enterprise Gym, and her charity, Infinitely Valued. We dig into the emotional labour of carers, the small moments that fuel resilience, and how laughter and love show up even in chaos.This is not just an episode about disability or care, it’s about what happens when we stop pretending everything’s fine and start building the communities we actually need.🔔 Trigger warning: Discussion includes mental and emotional exhaustion, systemic challenges, and medical trauma. 📞 Lifeline (Australia): 13 11 14🎙️ Listen in and discover how Natalie turned overwhelm into impact.Check out more from Natalie:https://honouredgym.com.au/https://www.infinitelyvalued.org/
