This episode, we welcome an invaluable guest, Jena, who takes us through her journey of first-time motherhood. Her story of how she persisted in investigating and receiving help for her child even though many told her she had nothing to worry about is a story we are sadly becoming more and more familiar with.
Listen in to discover exactly how a lack of milestones keyed in a mother's instinct into researching other ways of help for her child!
