I have already felt the impact of this delay first hand so soon into role. But it’s not only the impact on the child, it’s the entire strained network that are attempting to support best they can. Parents, families, schools, other medical professionals… the system is exhausted.

I am seeing this year as a challenge, and one I am ready to face both personally and professionally. Doors have already opened that have led me to some special people and experiences - making me truly believe in fate (if I didn’t already). 3/4

On my first day being 27, I am feeling balanced, and excited for what’s to come. And I share this small insight to others, hoping that they too are able to see the positives and embrace change. Stay tuned💭💭💭💭 4/4
