In this episode, we look back at season 2 of New Beginnings, reflecting on the wide range of stories from our guests and considering what we can learn from their recovery journeys. These conversations reveal not only the devastating impact of gambling harm, but also the resilience and strength found in the shared experiences of women supporting one another.
Throughout this series of New Beginnings, mental health campaigner and broadcaster Natasha Devon is joined by Lisa Walker, New Beginnings lead facilitator and expert by experience, to explore the realities of gambling harms. While often discussed in broad terms, these issues are deeply personal—especially for women, whose experiences are too often overlooked.
