Kate and Mandy chat to Chantelle, AKA famous blogger Fat Mum Slim! Chantelle shared her “wild” journey with her 15-year-old daughter Lacey, who has a diagnosis of ADHD. Frank and brave, Chantelle talks about the very nasty experience of bullying that her daughter has been going through at school due to her neurodiversity, and the internalised ableism and lack of accountability from the young bullies, their parents and the community that has caused and enabled it.  Chantelle talks about her daughter’s diagnosis, the relief and agency she found in finally having an answer and the ability to learn about and manage the condition, and the powerlessness she feels in being unable to keep her daughter safe from the harms of bullying, despite everyone’s best efforts (minus a rectum policeman). Kate, Mandy and Chantelle discuss the reality and prevalence of bullying for our peashoots and the power of the Pea community in providing support and solace and friendship during the hard times.  Thank you for sharing your powerful story with us Chantelle.   Find out more about Chantelle, her life, family, travels, photos, recipes and things she loves over at Fat Mum Slim  Plus:  Listen to our Spotify playlist –Too Peas: Songs Our Guest Peas LoveJoin our Facebook HangoutFind us on YouTubeBuy our book The Invisible Life Of Us!Leave us a speakpipe Help spread the love for Too Peas by rating and reviewing us!Melbourne forecast for Thursday October 5 - Shower or two, 17 degrees Thank you for supporting Too Peas In A Podcast!
