    Trauma Impacts the Body and the Mind

    Today my conversation is with Dr Susanna Petche, a medical doctor who works with a holistic treatment approach, integrating medicine together with a personal and academic understanding of psychological trauma. Scientists have more evidence than ever before revealing the intertwined relationship between the mind and body. We see this with gut health's influence over our mental health, but we also see it with the very real physical manifestations of trauma on the body. You'll hear about: Why we suppress traumatic experiencesOur need for an expanded definition of traumaHow our bodies process stressful events Links between trauma and health conditionsWhy the current separation between mind and body is artificial.

    We Need Enthusiastic Consent!

    Today my guest is Emily Jacob, founder of ReConnected Life as well as a dear friend and personal hero. We are discussing rape and sexual violence, an issue that affects more than 25% of women and 4% of men. This topic is sometimes left out of the conversation, but it's important to understand the nuances of it if we are to truly end gender-based violence. You'll hear about: Who is affected by sexual violenceWhat does and doesn't count as "rape" Why we need to believe survivors when they speak How to move the current picture forwardWhat consent should be (enthusiastic and of course, sexy!)

    What's Modern Slavery Got to do with VAWG?

    Today my guest is Paul Withrington and we are discussing the intersection between domestic violence and modern slavery. Modern slavery is defined as "when an individual is exploited by others, for personal or commercial gain. Whether tricked, coerced, or forced, they lose their freedom." Far from being a small or localised issue, this is something we all need to bring our awareness to. You'll hear about: What Modern Slavery is and what it might look likeWhy professionals need to be more aware of what to look for Empathy for those involvedThe overlap between gender-based violence and modern slaveryWhere we can start our awareness building and activism Find me: www.annaknightcoach.com/links Find Paul: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-withrington-6624b613b/ Anti-slavery actions: https://www.antislavery.org/end-modern-slavery-five-ways/

    Just What is Non-fatal Strangulation?

    Interview number three is with the wonderful Gemma Hinds. Gemma and I discuss non-fatal strangulation and why we all need to be aware of it. Non-fatal strangulation became its own offense earlier in 2022, but as you'll hear, public awareness of what it is and how severe the risks are is still lacking. You'll hear about: what does (and doesn't) constitute non-fatal strangulationthe longer-term risks for people who experience itwhat professionals need to know and askwhat to do if this happens to you or someone you lovehow to support survivors when they disclose their experiences to you.
