My guest is Environmental Journalist Leana Hosea and co-founder of Watershed Investigations.

Melissa and Jane have been caring for their daughters for over 20 years, helping them to lead hugely successful lives.
Let's Take Care is their way of helping other carers of disabled children feel less alone - and more equipped to cope with the realities of care that no one talks about.
In each episode they'll talk about the emotional and mental weight of lifelong care - and how to survive practically, emotionally, physically.
