Thank you to Chantelle Clark for designs used to promote this episode

This week's guest is Claire Marshall, lawyer, speaker, podcast host and justice reform activist and passionately curious about relationships, life and love. Claire is one half of 'The Good Sheilas' with previous guest Bron Lewis, but she is an experienced legal mind with a passion for human rights, gender equality and social justice in the community. She is also a mother to two daughters with a keen eye on developments within the education sector around inclusions, particular in relation to mental health and neurodivergence. This episode features a moving and powerful 'Note to Self' as well as widesweeping chats about Claire's own ongoing battle to sustain her mental health in the midst of an incredibly busy working life and home life. A compelling conversation for those who are simultaneously trepidatious and hopeful for the future.

As always, this episode includes segments such as 'A Note to Self', 'Work in Progress' and 'Weird Fishes', and a new segment called 'The Art of The List', which features five things Claire has learnt about mental health.
