In Episode 22, Auntie Linda and Preston are joined by two powerful First Nations voices in health and wellbeing — Dr Sarah Jane Springer and psychologist Dr Clinton Schultz.

Together, they yarn about cultural governance, systemic reform in health, and the responsibility of stepping up for the next generation. From challenging deficit narratives in medicine to reimagining shared antenatal care through true community consultation, this conversation dives deep into what it means to move from compliance to commitment.

The guests reflect on privilege, burnout, ego, self-accountability, and the courage required to walk strongly in both worlds.
