  • Thank you

    Thank you team for spotlighting those whose voices haven’t been properly heard by the police, the courts, the media, and for that matter, the public. Podcasts like this open the gates to the reality of domestic abuse that are rarely heard, and definitely misunderstood… x

  • Important

    Essential listening. I went on to read the inquest findings for Holly. They are absolutely devastating. The “response” from police is totally chilling in its inadequacy. They should be ashamed. Thank you Sherele for your important work. Thoughts are with the victims and their families.

  • Sherelle, why?

    Why do you ask your guests the same question they've literally just answered? Are you listening to what they are saying? They're already sharing their most vulnerable moments and you're not acting at all in a trauma informed way. You've done this in several interviews now & it upsets me on your guests behalf. LISTEN TO THEM!

  • Stories that need to be heard

    Sherele and Team have put their hearts and souls into this podcast and all of the participants have bared theirs.

    I hope for change and although this is a tough road for the families left behind and the Team producing it, perhaps this will result in some progress. All the families are determined to make lasting changes to help other women.

    I’ve always thought of a car as being a weapon. :( I hope that this can be legislated instead of watered down sentences being meted out.

    Thank you Team!... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jacina and Robert Bush Part 1
Q: What was your first memory of Jacinta and how did you describe her as a person growing up?
She was quiet but curious, resilient, and deeply caring; she loved animals, valued family, and sought safety and stability—qualities that defined her from childhood through her teenage years.
Molly Jane Wilkes Part 1
Q: Was there physical abuse before she left the country?
There was no physical abuse reported before she left Australia; the abuse was predominantly emotional, coercive, and financial, escalating over time.
Molly Jane Wilkes Part 1
Q: How did she actually come to meet him, and what were the circumstances?
Molly met him through school and common friends; they were not in a romantic relationship initially but became involved over time as she moved into shared accommodation.
Caitlin Rose Thornton Part 2
Q: Do you believe that if he's charged over her death, you will get those rights back?
There is potential under New South Wales law for next-of-kin rights to shift if the partner is convicted, but the process is lengthy and uncertain, so the family are pursuing Caitlin's Law to close the gaps.
Kristy Armstrong Part 2
Q: How do you look after yourself and how do you navigate raising three young girls?
The host didn't focus on self-care until recently and now plans downtime with family to recharge while managing raising the girls.
