110. Leading a Social Enterprise (Foster Carer Wellbeing)
Today’s episode is a very personal and important episode for my family. We are foster carers, and my inspiring and dedicated guest is Marcie McGowan, co-founder and CEO of the Hatch Project, a social enterprise aimed at revolutionizing Australia’s foster care system. Marcie shares her experiences with the foster care system and discusses the challenges it presents such as heavy regulations, power imbalances, and a fear-based system that inhibits the growth of authentic relationships. She talks about the importance of emotional intelligence, transparency, and self-development in transforming foster care. The episode delves into the Hatch Project’s unique approach, the impact it has made, and the complexities of funding and independence within the foster care system.
