Inspired by her experiences, Sara has become a passionate advocate, writing children's books that promote neurodiversity and inclusion, hosting a podcast, and even founding a nonprofit organization aimed at supporting employment opportunities for autistic individuals.
Throughout the conversation, Sara emphasizes the crucial importance of viewing behaviors as a form of communication and the power of gaining knowledge to overcome fear and judgment. She shares her own struggles in creating a supportive community, as her extended family initially struggled to understand her children's unique needs.
Sara's story serves as an inspiring testament to the transformative power of embracing one's differences and finding ways to not only cope but thrive in the face of challenges.

Katy shares her journey of moving from Slovakia to Germany and then to England, becoming an au pair to support herself along the way. She emphasizes that language should never be a barrier to moving to a new country and highlights the importance of having a strong support system.
During the conversation, Katy opens up about the challenges of navigating a new country and healthcare system, especially in the face of trauma. She bravely shares her struggles with PTSD after a serious accident in England and how writing became her therapy.

This episode sheds light on the significance of having a support system and being prepared for the challenges that come with living in a new country. It also highlights the benefits of traveling and experiencing different cultures, which can broaden one's perspective and contribute to personal growth. Join us for this important conversation about mental health and healing after trauma.
Katy Parker is a trauma-informed writer who integrates mental health and faith into her work. She was born and raised in Slovakia, then moved to Germany to improve her language skills. Afterward, she ventured to England, where she has now resided for 18 years. Despite facing challenges, including a serious accident that resulted in a fractured back and PTSD, Katy rediscovered her passion for writing and created the blog "Journey of Smiley" to connect with other trauma survivors and share her story.
For anyone interested in living abroad, Katy's advice is simple: just go for it. While every country presents its challenges, immersing oneself in a new culture can be incredibly rewarding. She encourages people to travel and truly get to know the country they're living in, rather than constantly comparing it to their home country.
