Having the chance to talk about the emotional experiences and many nuances of occupying multiple spaces is deeply restorative and supportive. Thankyou @mhrincubator.bsky.social for helping to support this work!

Thanks to all who came to our second meeting today, and special thanks to @thetealtigeruk.bsky.social for such an interesting and thought-provoking talk. It's a real privelige to be part of these discussions and share space with others grappling with multiple facets of lived experience research.
