About Sitting in the Space, with Mary

Welcome to Sitting in the Space with Mary. A Podcast sharing stories of sitting in the tough emotional spaces of health crises and diagnosis. Mary Prentice is your host, a Pastoral Practitioner for the past 9 years, where I have spoken to and supported thousands of patients and family members in hospitals in Western Australia. In each episode I interview either a patient who has touched their own mortality or health challenge, or a member of the medical team or a family member who has sat alongside patients during these crisis times. Tune in fortnightly to hear stories that will make you hold your breath or cheer! Get in touch if you have a story to share - it will no doubt help others in a similar situation. Please, share this podcast with a friend or someone you care about.
