Show Notes

In today’s episode, we are joined by Anna Martin, lawyer and founder of the Untangle Project. Anna shares here journey of overcoming a 20-year gambling addiction. She realised that women deserved a better space to seek help, support and to advocate for change, and created The Untangle Project with the aim to provide a resource for women to recover in their own way, in the own time and through their own methods. Anna dives into the Untangled Project’s focus on providing non-judgmental support for women, emphasising the unique challenges women face including guilt, shame, and fear. Anna also discusses the need for better support systems for those struggling.

We are also joined by Sally McLaren from the Hackham community Centre who details the centre’s efforts in supporting families, providing grief guidance and the challenges the centre faces to secure funding and a space to expand their services.
