Hi everyone,
When I first received Jenny’s email, I honestly felt like acelebrity.
She found Wine With Wita after watching my BizCover grant video and reached out with a simple message: “I’d love toshare my story.” What unfolded from there felt like a love story between two women passionate about supporting families navigating the world of disability.
Jenny is an Early Childhood Teacher with over 30 years of experience, a mother to three children (including twin sonswith level 3 autism), and the founder of two businesses dedicated to helping families thrive.
Her lived experience is matched only by her drive to makethe path easier for others.
What We Discussed:
💬 Jenny’s raw, honest account of denial, grief and acceptance following her sons’ diagnosis
📘 Why she wrote Embracing Disability in Early Childhood — a must-read for both parents and educators
🤝 The importance of partnership between families and professionals
💡 Practical advice for parents navigating NDIS, communication devices, and emotional overwhelm
🌱 How Jenny helps other families through her two businesses and the Autism Families Thriving community
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, allied health professional, or simply someone who cares — this episode is a gentleand deeply insightful reminder that acceptance doesn’t happen overnight… and no one should walk this road alone.
