Welcome to Episode 33 — pull up a chair and come sit with us, because this one’s equal parts big updates and deep feelings. We’re talking about what independence really means… and spoiler alert: it’s not always neat or fast, but it is powerful.First up — some exciting news! Zelotones is officially rebranding as an inclusive and independent band 🎉 And yes, we’ve added a “normal man” to the team (our sound engineer), because real inclusivity isn’t about labels — it’s about everyone bringing their strengths to the table, whether that’s visual impairment, cognitive challenges, or just really good ears.The heart of this episode gets beautifully real as we talk about parenting, protection, and learning when to let go. Alex shares stories of his super-protective mum waiting for him at the school canteen every day, and his late grandmother who was his ultimate tag-team partner in his early school years. Zyana reflects on her hero dad, and a powerful moment when her mum realised that stepping back allowed friends — and confidence — to step forward.Ben drops a wholesome milestone too: learning to handle household chores like washing toilets and plates so he could serve others while his caregiver was away. Small actions, big independence energy.We wrap things up with laughs in a fun round of “I Can Do It Myself,” where household chores turn into riddles and chaos naturally follows.It’s heartfelt, funny, and full of reminders that independence looks different for everyone — and that’s okay. Together, we make a difference. Win or lose, we’re still champions. 🏆✨
