198: Karla Williams on growing up with deaf parents & managing postpartum rage
Listen now
Description
Karla Williams lives on a dairy farm in Tassie, she's a nurse and a mum of two little boys, and over the past two years I've grown to know her and love her through our Motherland Village group. To understand Karla's motherhood journey, you have to understand her childhood. Her parents are deaf, and Karla was just 10 months old when she first learned to sign which is how she communicated with them. In many ways, Karla was a mother and a carer, before having children of her own. And when she did start her own family, her experience with her first child was everything she'd hoped for. But a few months into her second pregnancy, she started to experience bouts of rage, and things got worse after she welcomed her second son. Karla is so incredible brave and vulnerable... she shares the heart-stopping moment she knew she needed help, and how finding support through our village and the Gidget Foundation saved her.  The Dr Golly Sleep Program, designed to equip parents with reliable sleeping skills for newborns through to preschoolers.
