A few weeks ago, Holly recommended an episode of Mamamia’s Gen X podcast, Unleashed, and we’re bringing it to the Outlouders feed.

If you haven’t listened before, Unleashed is a podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh, a chat and sometimes a space for the harder parts of life.

Unleashed co-host Dr Ginni Mansberg recently shared the deeply personal story of her mum’s decision to choose voluntary assisted dying. Ginni wanted to talk about what was happening with her family, but we wanted to give her the space to tell the story not just as a doctor, but most importantly, as a daughter.

This is part one of a three-part series, beginning one month before Ginni’s mum’s death.

Listen to part two and part three here.

Please take care while listening. This episode discusses voluntary assisted dying, death and grief. If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea and Ginni Mansberg
