A family holiday with a tube-fed child? It might be more doable than you think.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I took my son Ezra, who’s been tube-fed since he was one, on two overseas trips to Singapore and Hawaii. From getting syringes through airport security to feeding mid-air and packing the right gear, I’ll walk you through what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently.

I’ll share my travel checklist, how we handled customs, what I carried onboard, and why I now feel confident taking Ezra anywhere. If you’ve been putting off a trip because it feels too hard with a tubie, I hope this episode gives you the push you need.

You’ve got this. And your little one deserves the adventure!

What happens when your baby’s first breath is followed by a rush to ICU—and a journey no parent saw coming?

In this episode, I’m joined by Eliana, a remarkable mum whose little boy Luke was born with a rare and complex condition that baffled doctors from day one. From navigating life in the NICU to becoming a pro at tube feeding, Eliana takes us through the emotional highs and heartbreaking lows of raising a child with medical needs—without a clear diagnosis for the first 16 months.

We chat about the early trauma of separation, those early days of uncertainty, and how Luke’s feeding tube—once a daunting unknown—has now become part of who he is.

Her story is raw, real and powerful—and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

What’s it really like to raise a child with a feeding tube? Here’s our story.

In this very first episode of Beyond the Tube, I’m opening up about life with my beautiful tubie, Ezra. From the early signs that something wasn’t quite right to navigating surgeries, NG tubes, and finally making the life-changing switch to a gastrostomy, this episode is raw, real and full of heart.

I’ll walk you through the emotional highs and lows of our journey – from sleepless nights and traumatic tube changes to the joy of seeing Ezra thrive with blended feeds through his Mic-Key button. This episode is for any parent, carer, professional or curious listener wanting to understand more about tube feeding and the incredible kids who rely on it.

We’re building a community here – one story at a time – and I’m so glad you’re along for the ride.
