This is the IAMPOSSIBLE Podcast bringing together experts, scientists, Paralympians, adaptive sports professionals, authors and disability advocates to talk all things Limb difference, disability and inclusion.


This Friday Nicole was joined my Vanessa, IAP Ambassador and Mother of two. 


Vanessa recently shared an open letter to the doctor who advised her to terminate her pregnancy with her youngest daughter Ivy after the 20 week scan highlighted that Ivy would be born with congenital limb differences. During this episode Vanessa reads aloud her poignant letter, unpacks the situation further and shares her approach to advocating for Ivy moving forward. 


There was laughter, tears and a guest appearance of Ivy herself!
