Welcome to episode 8, and the final episode of the season! For this episode, we decided to do something very special by welcoming Jane and Julie - our very own Mums - onto the podcast.

In a deeply meaningful, and sometimes challenging conversation, we invite Jane and Julie to speak openly and candidly about what it was like raising us, particularly as young men who experienced challenges with our mental health. We also explore the challenges of navigating a rapidly changing world as women in their 60's (sorry Jane and Julie...)
