Changing the Narrative: Disability, Support & Self-Worth with Maverick Supports Artwork

Breathing Open Motherhood

Hello and welcome to Breathing Open Motherhood, I am your host, Charmaine Newmark and I am here to rewrite the narratives on what it gets to be like, to live as modern mothers, who are deeply connected to our instinctual truths. Who thrive as Mothers and who look back upon this time of our lives, with wonder and awe on the absolute magic that it is. It is my hope, that these episodes help us rewrite the narratives together, from a conversation of challenge and lack, to a one of openness, inspiration and liberation of our minds, bodies and spirits. I am so grateful to be able to do this with you all. Enjoy the show!Charmaine xxx

Today we’re diving into all thing's disability and mental health support with Kara, Founder of Maverick Supports, a service dedicated to bridging the gaps between carers, support services, families, the NDIS and people living with disability.

Maverick Supports is also a proud sponsor of the upcoming Camden Wellness Expo on March 29, where Kara will be speaking on self-worth and stress relief which we are so excited for!

In this conversation, we explore:

The importance of psychosocial support for individuals living with visible and hidden disabilities
How Maverick Supports is challenging stigma and reshaping conversations around mental health
Navigating the barriers of accessing support services and the NDIS, whether you're a participant or a carer
Kara’s vision for creating meaningful, lasting change within the industry

Whether you’re a carer, living with a disability, or working in the wellness space, this is an inspiring and insightful conversation you won’t want to miss.

Come and meet Kara and the Maverick Supports team at the Camden Wellness Expo on March 29 at Camden Civic Centre. Grab your free tickets now!
