Proud Aboriginal Woman

Episode 2 features Alicia. Thanks to Alicia for sharing with us her quit journey. Alicia is an Aboriginal Woman from regional Victoria who recently found out she is pregnant.

She was still smoking when she found out. In the podcast she explains how, with support, she designed her own process to cut down and quit. It's inspiring to hear the story of a proud Aboriginal Woman who made choices for the health of her new baby, and for herself as a mum-to-be. Alicia is a strong woman and we thank her for sharing her story.
