Customer Reviews
Great Storytelling
I appreciated the insight and storytelling of both seasons thus far. Melissa has a compassionate voice for women who are victims of injustice and violence. Both Sandy Beal’s and Libby Caswell’s stories were heartbreaking to hear, but I hope the information in them will help someone listening to recognize signs and seek help and healing for themselves and/or their loved ones.
Great podcast
Her voice is easy to listen to and the info and story are relevant.
White women
George Floyd died bc of the fentanyl in his system. He also held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach during an armed robbery. Since you cover “violence against women” maybe cover that story
