  • UPDATED MONTHLY

Hi, I’m Amanda, the host of IPV and Me, and this podcast is my personal journey through the complex, painful, and often hidden world of intimate partner violence. I share my real experiences with domestic abuse—what it looked like, how it felt, why I stayed, and how I found the strength to leave. This isn’t just about what happened to me. It’s about breaking the silence, exploring the emotional and psychological layers of abuse, and offering support to others who may be in similar situations. Whether you’re a survivor, someone still in it, or just trying to understand, I hope my story brings clarity, connection, and comfort. New episodes cover everything from manipulation and control to the healing process, rebuilding my identity, and finding hope again. IPV and Me is a safe space—honest, vulnerable, and rooted in truth. You’re not alone. And your story matters, too. Reach out to me on Instagram @mandgoggs or @IPVandMe, all DM's will be answered.

  1. Mayci Neeley's Path to Healing: from abuse to Momtok

    Mayci Neeley's Path to Healing: from abuse to Momtok

    Long before MomTok or The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Mayci Neeley was navigating a world shaped by rigid expectations, faith, and vulnerability. In this episode of IPV and Me, I explore Mayci’s journey through the pressures of the Mormon Church and the abusive relationships that followed—experiences in which she was repeatedly taken advantage of by men who exploited her trust. Drawing from her memoir, Told You So, this episode unpacks Mayci’s path to self-awareness, survival, and ultimately reclaiming her voice. It’s a powerful conversation about coercion, control, and the resilience it takes to break free and tell your story on your own terms. Links: Help: thehotline.org Merch has launched!!!!!!: Big news!

    A Decade of Freedom - Let's Celebrate!

    This week’s episode is a little different. I’m taking a break from interviews and storytelling to just sit down and talk — about life, healing, and what it means to reach ten years since I left my abuser. As I approach my 40th birthday, I’m reflecting on how far I’ve come, what I’ve learned, and what freedom really feels like a decade later. Help: thehotline.org Merch has launched!!!!!!: Big news!

    E 28 - Kerry Katona (Re-recorded)

    In this episode of IPV and Me – My Journey with Domestic Abuse, I’m sharing the story of Kerry Katona. Many people know Kerry as a singer, TV personality, and someone who has lived much of her life in the public eye. But behind the fame, she was also living through the pain and fear of domestic abuse. Kerry’s story is a powerful reminder that abuse can happen to anyone, no matter who they are or what their life looks like from the outside. In telling her journey, I want to highlight not only the challenges she faced but also the strength and resilience it takes to survive and speak out.

    Asking For It: Sophie Toscan duPlantier Part 2

    In Part Two of our deep dive into the 1996 murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier, we examine the man who would come to dominate headlines: Ian Bailey. As the Garda investigation unfolds, Bailey—a local journalist—emerges not just as a reporter covering the case, but as its prime suspect. We explore the timeline of events, the contradictions in Bailey’s statements, and his troubling history of violence. Through this lens, we look at how power, control, and manipulation can echo in both intimate relationships and high-profile cases. As always on IPV and Me, we center the reality of coercive dynamics and the impact of gender-based violence. This episode contains descriptions of violence and abuse.

    Asking For It: Sophie Toscan duPlantier Part 1

    In this special two-part, I examine the tragic and deeply unsettling case of Sophie Toscan du Plantier— a French woman who was brutally murdered outside her holiday home in West Cork, Ireland, just before Christmas in 1996. In Part One, I’ll walk you through Sophie’s life, the days leading up to her death, and the strange, isolated setting where this horrific crime took place. We’ll look at the early investigation, the rumors that began to swirl, and the man who quickly emerged as the prime suspect: Ian Bailey. Sophie’s story touches on issues of power, control, violence, and the way women are often failed by justice systems—no matter where they are in the world.
