Why Leaving Isn’t Always Easy

Season 3, Ep. 8
•

If you feel unsafe in your relationship, please listen to this and call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732.

Today we chat about a meaningful conversation about domestic and family violence sparked by my recent watch of the Gabby Petito doco on Netflix. This episode explores the realities of domestic violence, coercive control, and the warning signs we often miss. I’ll break down what abuse looks like beyond the physical, why leaving isn’t always easy, and how we can support ourselves or those in unsafe relationships.

Resources: 1800 Respect, Salvation Army, Services Australia.
