We bring you our second episode in our series from the peer support team from Doors Wide Open in Bunbury, this time chatting with Miranda. This conversation was particularly intense, as Miranda discussed some very heavy issues and experiences with us, after navigating her way from a pretty successful career in real estate through drug addiction, domestic violence, suicide, homelessness and contact with the justice system. Despite all the extreme situations Miranda has faced, her story is ultimately inspiring as she discusses how she ended up in her current role at Doors Wide Open, working in the housing first program. If hearing someone have a frank discussion about any of the topics mentioned may cause you some issues, this may be one to skip, but if not, then we hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation. A big thank you to Dr Jane Anderson for making this episode possible.
