Today I'm joined by CEO and Founder of New Leaf Initiative CIC, Marie-Claire O Brien. After spending time within the prison environment, fighting her thoughts, emotions and feelings of a scheduled regime, she used self-analysis, counselling, and determination to examine and explore her trauma.. After volunteering within a peer mentoring position assisting women exiting the system, she found real purpose to connect with her social activist values from her teenage years. After listening to issues and pain points of former service users she embarked on a journey to change lives through both delivery, and building a platform movement to drive change. A real lived experiences leader. Get the notepad ready.
