  • Oddly Comforting and Very Important to Educate All of Us

    I can’t remember how I found this podcast, but it’s been healing for me to hear so many others’ stories. I think I find a bit (or more than a bit) of myself in every episode. It is such a worthy project. Super job.

  • Healing

    This podcast has been very healing for me as a survivor myself. Even after being out for 3 years I still question if it was abusive and man listening to these stories makes me realize 100% that it was. It’s important for victims to know they are not alone. Thanks❤️

    I appreciate listening to these stories. As a law enforcement officer, this has opened my eyes as to what could be happening when I respond to these calls. It has helped me to listen more. My biggest question has always been “why don’t you leave?” Now I’m hearing and understanding how hard that is to do.

    You have some incredibly brave, resilient storytellers on your show.

    Have you ever come upon any DV stories with the husband/bf as the victim?
