Today on the show we chat with Pip Brun, a neurodivergent human, a mum of 6 and a passionate advocate for the rights of disabled people.


Pip is a passionate member of the Enabling Good Lives mid-central leadership group in New Zealand.


In this episode, we chat about:

  • Pip's lived experience as a mum of 6 neurodivergent children (including her daughter Lucy who has a rare chromosome disorder).
  • The Enabling Good Lives approach and its guiding principles and what these mean for us in our lives.
  • How we can live these principles in our own lives and use this approach to empower us to advocate for ourselves and our loved ones.
