Many of us have observed a new romance from afar and felt uncomfortable. But what’s the difference between simply not liking someone’s partner and suspecting something sinister is going on? What about when it’s your new partner?
Research tells us that more than half of all victims and survivors reach out to family and friends first. Whether you’re concerned about the wellbeing of a loved one or interrogating your own safety in a relationship, this season dives into the complex nuances of the warning signs of domestic abuse.
From love bombing and gaslighting to isolation and financial control, this podcast will become a practical resource helping you interrogate the relationships in your life.
There’s No Place Like Home is a Future Women podcast in collaboration with our proud partner, Commonwealth Bank, supporting long-term financial independence for victim-survivors through CommBank Next Chapter.
There’s No Place Like Home drops 11 July February 2023. New episodes drop weekly.

A new podcast for women who are told they’re “too much”.
Ask any woman and she’ll tell you about a time when she was too something. At work, women are suffocated by stereotypes about who we should be and how we should behave.
In FW’s new podcast, Too Much, join Helen McCabe as she speaks with high-achieving women who bucked trends, disrupted systems and refused to quit. Women who built careers by forging their own paths.
Episodes drop weekly.

8. Hope
The discourse around intimate partner violence can feel dispiriting and, sometimes, it can be hard to stay hopeful. But we need to hold on to hope. Hope for a better way forward. Hope for a future where this country is safe for everyone.
In the final episode of There’s No Place Like Home season two, we turn our focus squarely to what we can do. To the hope and possibility that comes from putting into action what we’ve learned from victim-survivors and experts.

7. Blame
Have you ever had a partner who made you feel like, no matter what, you couldn’t do anything right? In this episode we examine how criticising and blame shifting are weaponised to break down someone’s personhood and strip them of their dignity.

5. Watched
Tech-facilitated abuse can be overt. Think threatening phone calls or incessant messages. Or it can be covert, where an abuser monitors their partner’s online activity, hacks their emails or tracks their location through apps and ‘find my phone’ services, or even sends threatening messages via internet banking.
In a rapidly evolving world, what does technologically-facilitated abuse look like? And where can you go for help?

4. Jealousy
We’ve all been jealous at some point in our lives. But there is a unique kind of jealousy specific to abusive partners. It’s the kind of jealousy that manifests in forms of abuse we’ve already discussed this season, like gaslighting and isolation. Experts dub it “sexual jealousy”, and they say it’s about entitlement, not love.
So how do you tell the difference?

Customer Reviews
Essential listening
I am 65, my first husband abused me in my 20s and 30s. After I escaped with my children I was diagnosed with complex post traumatic stress disorder. We talk about the trauma suffered by our defence force through war. What about all the women and other vulnerable people whose lives and potential is cut short? Every day. Every week. Ongoing. I love this podcast, I am ticking off those forms of abuse perpetrated against me by my husband, I am learning about other’s experience, I am in awe of women’s deep strength and resistance. Something’s gotta change in our country. This podcast is part of that change.
Extremely important and informative podcast
Thank you for making this, especially to all those who shared their stories. Very enlightening and urgent content.
A much needed podcast
A very important podcast to have out in the world. Thank you FW.
