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.

S2 Ep3 CPE Educator Michelle Benjamin
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is the specialised small group led training for those of us who work in the Spiritual Care and Pastoral Care fields. This long distance interview with Michelle Benjamin is worth the little bit of static ... Unable to get Michelle face to face for this interview, I was still delighted that over the phone she was able to beautifully convey some of the nuances and skills she educates her students in. Considering the years of working and training to develop the skills to educate Pastoral Care workers, a huge level of respect is afforded this warm, intelligent, and fun loving woman. A must listen for anyone interested in enrolling in a CPE program.
Please contact me if you would like to listen to a certain aspect of the emotional experience around medical diagnosis, treatment, surviving or dying.
My hope is that the experiences shared on the podcast can be related to and possibly provide comfort and some healing.
I wish you well.
Mary
