RELATIONSHIPS
WEEKLY SERIES

This is the story that starts where others end. After the headlines fade. After the crisis hotline call ends. After you walk out of the shelter doors. When survivors face the brutal, yet hope-filled work of rebuilding from scratch. We know that leaving an abusive relationship can cost everything. Your home. Your money. Your job. Your kids. Your health. The life you thought you'd have. Putting the pieces back together can take years, sometimes a lifetime. And what comes next is rarely discussed, poorly understood and absolutely critical. Recovering from domestic abuse and family violence. It’s not just about surviving, but thriving. There's No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing reveals the innovative programs across Australia looking beyond the immediate crisis. This season, meet the mother rediscovering joy with her children after their perpetrator robbed them of it for years, the survivor turning her pain into a career to help others escape and the local heroes building safe houses to create spaces where women can finally experience "this huge sense of freedom”. For the first time, watch these powerful discussions on video or listen as audio. Hosted by Sally Spicer and available wherever you get your podcasts.

Not my daughter

I want to firstly acknowledge the podcast Nowhere Like Home. I found this podcast while desperately searching for a space where I could better understand domestic violence and hear from other parents who have daughters who have been through this experience. I wanted to know how they coped, how they supported their children, and whether there was life after getting away. Coming across this podcast helped me immensely. Listening to the stories was incredibly powerful and comforting — it meant so much to know that my daughter was not alone. The honesty and courage shared in each story provided reassurance, understanding, and hope during a very difficult time. I am truly grateful for this podcast and am eagerly hoping there will be a number four.

These are the conversations that matter. Excellent coverage of the harm and the complexity of family violence
