In this episode, Alex and Tiffany sit down with North East-based illustrator, Hannah Graham, who shares her inspiring journey of transforming her life and career.

Originally a nurse, Hannah turned to illustration as a way to cope after her son Peter was born prematurely at just 3 months early.

Dealing with the challenges of special needs and her own struggle with dyslexia, she found art to be a powerful outlet for storytelling and building confidence in both children and adults.

Hannah opens up about her personal experiences, from navigating motherhood with a special needs child to finding the courage to follow her creative passions. She talks about giving herself permission to break away from what others expect, embracing flexibility, and finding a unique path forward.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The power of storytelling and creativity to boost confidence in children
• The importance of not comparing yourself to others and embracing your unique motherhood journey
• The significance of having supportive friendships and learning to be flexible with your life plans
• Hannah’s work on promoting inclusivity and self-expression through art

As a special treat, at the end of the episode, Hannah shares one of her own stories, so be sure to listen with your little ones for something imaginative and heartwarming.
