DOUBLE LENGTH EPISODE What does happen if you fight back? If you defend yourself? The drive and determination of many abusers to frame their victim as the perpetrator is so common and relentless. In this episode I share advice about what to and not to do when faced with abuse. I describe how I got justice and what would've prevented that. I describe how the "system" expects a true victim of domestic violence to present. It is a llooonnngggg episode with tangents and MANY personal stories shared. There are many pearls of wisdom amongst the oyster shells of this episode. I truly do hope by running my mouth on this pod, you're empowered to get free and succeed against abusers. lIt's a long one, so feel free to listen in parts if you like, and pop back in during the week to finish it off. xx EPISODE DISCLAIMER CONTACT:  Email in to share your story or for advice with ANY relationship dilemma or dating nightmares at:  [email protected] Business enquiries please also use above email address.

That’s right. Insecure men are dangerous. I run my mouth in the most unhinged episode to date where the ‘why’ of this is explored.  We look at short man syndrome (love a short king), cheating and all the signs of insecure men.  We don’t blame the men but blame patriarchy for feeding them with the notion they aren’t enough if they don’t fit the toxic ‘macho man’ view.  This way of thinking leads to aggression and violence against women.  We need to change the way we raise boys and shift thinking in men for future generations to be safe. Insecure women can be vulnerable, insecure men can be dangerous. It’s time for change.  Too many women have lost their life in Australia alone, let alone the worldwide shocking statistics of murder of women by intimate partners. CIS.STRAGHT.MEN.GO.GET.THERAPY.

Don't adjust your eyes because yes, you read that right! I was raised by nudists. I briefly brushed by this subject in a recent episode and as promised, have dropped all the details of what this means and what it was like. While it isn't a direct DV subject, it reveals some of the dynamics that can lead to different boundaries.

ANOTHER DOUBLE EPISODE-CONFESSION TIME! EP 21 is my confession that growing up I was conditioned with misogynistic values, ideas and beliefs without even knowing it. I then took those beliefs into adulthood and had no idea what feminism really was. Now my eyes are open! Unfortunately, so many women continue to spread Internalised Misogyny to this day.  I share many personal stories, even about a Wet t shirt competition, to describe how my view point has changed and how toxic that way of thinking was.  xx CONTACT:  Email in to share your story or for advice with ANY relationship dilemma or dating nightmares at:  ⁠[email protected]⁠ Business enquiries please also use above email address.

DOUBLE EPISODE! Ever wanted to know a victims personal experience of getting justice? When I came out of DV I had no idea what was happening and would've literally paid to hear someone else's experience! In this episode I read the lists of charges and sentenced charges and describe what the criminal did that was related to each charge. Note that these charges are from one event only. There were many more charges sentenced against this offender prior to this incident. I also describe how it all worked from Police, then detectives, all the way through to Sentencing. No identifying info has been supplied. My personal experiences only are shared, so this is not legal advice. xx CONTACT:  Email in to share your story or for advice with ANY relationship dilemma or dating nightmares at:  [email protected] Business enquiries please also use above email address.

Can you believe I had no idea what 'boundaries' were until after 30! I aways thought it was just a cricketing term if I go outside the boundary haha. Well now I don't only know, but have learnt the hard way why they are so important, especially regarding Domestic Abuse & Violence! In this episode I describe in more than one way what they mean so it actually makes sense. I also share mini stories on tangents as we go. Always hoping this podcast helps someone, somewhere to know what I didn't when I needed to!

Following on from Ep 17 FINANCIAL ABUSE, I (over) share a story from when an ex used manipulation to move in and lie about contributing financially, only to steal and never contribute a cent. I expose many ways in which I was able to be fooled in the hopes others may dodge a similar situation. Even if this doesn't help someone practically, I do hope you feel less alone (or silly) if anything resonates with you and your experiences.
