Love Needs No Words – Details, episodes & analysis

On this week's episode of Love Needs No Words, Amy & Kirsty are rejoined by Sarah Vernon who was one of the first guests of the podcast. 

Sarah’s daughter Briony is 5 years old, nonspeaking and received her diagnosis of Autism early last year. 

In the first interview, Sarah articulated beautifully her emotions around the early stages of her daughter's diagnosis, the grief she felt and the fear around what the future would bring.

Fast forward a year and she is back to tell us how Briony is getting on, the fight for a specialist school and her feelings around the future now.

On this week's episode of Love Needs No Words we discuss all things travel.

Going away as a family fills a lot of us with anxiety and dread especially if you have someone you are travelling with who is neurodivergent.

What will they be like on the plane, how will they cope with a different environment - well thats where the lovely Hayley Field’s comes in. 

Through her instagram page @the_fieldtrips she is helping families with children with additional needs travel with less fear and more excitement, by helping them to  plan ahead and create a holiday that makes lifetime memories.
