Welcome to the TMDTA blog!
In addition to the podcast, we wanted to provide a space of written stories, reflections and peer support. Do get in touch via the contact page if you’d like to write a blog piece for us!

“To be unprepared is to be alive. I can’t be ready for the future because the future is out of my control.

If I don’t push at all, I sense a longing and my life feels hollow in some way.”
