We believe families are the catalyst for change that can create a positive shift in the lives of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and the inclusive communities they contribute to.
In this episode Mandy, Sandra, Heather, Tamara talk openly about what an authentic life is and how they support their family member to navigate a life where people with an intellectual or developmental disability are immersed together with their families, friends, colleagues, neighbours and community members; belonging and contributing in the same pathways and life experiences common to us all.
This is part 1 of a 2 part series on 'What is an Authentic Life?' stay tune for our next podcast where we have an engaging discussion on the necessity of taking risks.

REA-L Conversations is a family-led podcast about supporting our family members with intellectual or developmental disabilities to live regular, equitable, authentic lives rooted in community, not separate from it.
Through honest conversation and shared learning, families explore what it takes to hold high expectations and build lives woven into the everyday fabric of our neighbourhoods and cities.
These conversations don't offer polished answers. They offer lived experience, and reminds us that inclusive lives are built with intention, small steps, strong relationships, and persistence.
