  4. Talking Vision Now: No Limits

    Talking Vision Now: No Limits

    There are some subjects which are felt to be too awkward or embarrassing to ever get talked about in a straightforward and open way. Instead, we skirt around them because we think we should know all the facts. Or we suppose that someone else has covered the topic – and much better than we ever could. Subjects like sex, dating, personal care, style, safety, nutrition, periods, starting a family, having ‘that’ conversation with the kids… you get the idea. Things we might feel are ‘off limits’. We know from our community that people really want to know more on these so-called off-limits subjects. As such, Vision Australia is developing ‘Nothing’s Off Limits’: a series of podcasts where experts and people with lived experience will sit down and discuss the topics we love to avoid but absolutely need to talk about. And, as the name suggests, nothing will be off limits and you can have your say.
