Welcome to Episode 22 of Lancashire Mind Talks

.

Introduction:

Welcome to Part Two of our conversation with illustrator and mum, Kerri Cunningham of Murphy’s Sketches.

.

In this episode, Kerri opens up about her current journey navigating the world of neurodiversity with her youngest son. Speaking from the heart, she reflects on the emotionsthat come with seeking support, advocating for your child and confronting an uncertain future - all while trying to remain present for the moments that matter.

.

We explore how Kerri’s creativity and connection with nature support her mental wellbeing and how these threads are lovingly woven into her upcoming children’s book. Inspired by her son’s unique way of seeing the world, it’s a powerful celebration of slowing down and appreciating difference. Kerri has written two children's books: A Book to Brighten Your Day and Baxter's Book.

.

Kerri shares her hopes for other families at similar stages of discovery, offering solidarity and a gentle reminder that you don’t have to have all the answers to make space for joy.

.

This is a moving listen for any parent, caregiver or person navigating change and proof that it’s okay to not be okay.
