Nobody hands you a manual for turning childhood abuse, addiction, and burnout into a thriving business, so Claire Burton wrote her own.
In this episode of Tell Me About It, I talk with Claire Burton. Claire is the founder and CEO of Evolution Launch Support Services - an NDIS provider built on lived experience.
Claire opens up about surviving childhood abuse, a drug addiction that once kept her alive, ten months in rehab, and the burnout from child protection work that nearly broke her body.
We also dig into foster care and the broken parts of the child safety system.
Claire also shares how she met her wife Megan in an unlikely place, the truth about coming out later in life, facing homophobia on the Gold Coast, and the biggest myths the media spreads about the NDIS and disability support in Australia. Key moments:
