Welcome to Episode 21 of Lancashire Mind Talks

.

Introduction:

Join our host Emma, in conversation with Kerri Cunningham of Murphy’s Sketches. As they chat openly about motherhood, mental health and finding joy in the ordinary.

In this two-part episode, we sit down with the wonderfully honest and warm Kerri Cunningham - illustrator, business owner and the creative mind behind Murphy’s Sketches.

.

Kerri shares her lived experience of navigating motherhood, anxiety and health-related worries, alongside building a business rooted in connection and community. We talk openly about the hidden impact of postnatal mental health conditions, how creativity became a coping tool, and the importance of recognising small joys (like a good cuppa or a quiet moment).

.

Follow the channel for updates on Part 2 where Kerri reflects on parenting her autistic son and the emotional journey of navigating a world not always built for neurodivergence. She introduces her heartfelt children’s book, inspired by her son’s unique way of seeing the world and why slowing down to see things through a different lens matters.
