Debbie Hadfield
This episode is close to my heart. I sit down with Debbie Hadfield, my case manager growing up and the closest thing I’ve had to a mum. Nearly 20 years on, she’s still in my corner. We talk about what has inspired her to stay in the industry for so long, and we touch on my childhood. This is the story behind why I do what I do, and why I’ll always celebrate cool people doing kind things.
