Beyond the System is my podcast about life in and after care, not through reports or labels, but through lived experience. As someone who grew up in care and now works with looked-after children, I share honest reflections and conversations about growing up in care, participation, identity, and the long-term impact of the system. Some episodes are personal, some feature stories from others, but all aim to centre voices that are too often spoken about rather than truly listened to.Jessica Lewis Economie Management Management et direction

  • The Safety Nets We Don't Talk About

    The Safety Nets We Don't Talk About
    May 7 2026

    In this episode, I explore what sits underneath the pressure to prove you’re okay — the reality that many care-experienced young people don’t always have the same safety nets as others.


    I talk about what safety nets actually look like in everyday life, why their absence creates pressure, and how this impacts young people as they move into independence.


    Drawing on both lived experience and my work with young people, this episode looks at what needs to change — and why support shouldn’t stop when independence begins.

  • When You You Feel Like You Have to Prove You're Ok!

    When You You Feel Like You Have to Prove You're Ok!
    Apr 29 2026

    In this episode, I explore the pressure to appear “okay” — especially for care-experienced young people.


    I share my own experiences of independence, struggle, and the expectation to be the “success story,” and why it’s time we start being more honest about what doing well really looks like.

  • Bonus Episode- Taking a Break & Coming Back

    Bonus Episode- Taking a Break & Coming Back
    Apr 16 2026

    After a short break from recording, this episode is a bit of a reset.


    I talk about the reality of stepping back when life feels full, the pressure we often put on ourselves to keep going, and why taking a pause doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it means you’re human.


    This is a more personal, honest check-in episode. A reminder that it’s okay to slow down, to take a breath, and to come back when you’re ready.
