NDIS in the Garden
NDIS in the Garden is a long form conversation podcast exploring the people behind the system.
Hosted by Matt Sevier, Founder & Director of Steppr PBS, the podcast moves beyond policy, funding and clinical language to uncover the real stories, personalities and inner worlds of people connected to the NDIS. People from all walks of life including allied health, coordinators, support workers, practitioners, founders, families, tech enthusiasts, business professionals and advocates sit down for honest conversations that are thoughtful, strange, funny, psychological and deeply normal.
These are conversations about identity, behaviour, relationships, coping, meaning, work, loneliness, resilience and the environments that shape us.
Sometimes uncomfortable. Sometimes chaotic. Often unexpectedly funny.
Just people talking honestly in the garden.
