A podcast where we dive deep into what really goes on inside of domestic violence relationships that makes it so hard to simply "just leave". Through stories of survivors, and practical conversations with guests, I am going to put the microscope back on what the abuser is doing that causes us to become so trapped in the first place, and how each survivor was eventually freed. We will discuss what abusive relationships look like, sound like, and feel like for the purpose of educating and relating to one another in a much needed way.

Customer Reviews
Thank you for this podcast 🙏
I’ve been listening to a lot of self-improvement podcasts, particularly podcasts about domestic violence/abuse, partner NPD and the like. I find it comforting to know I’m not the only one navigating through the difficulties of being in or trying to get out of a toxic relationship. I heard of this podcast from the Not For Nothing podcast today. Grace speaks from experience and she delivers her message in a relatable, genuine, compassionate, and sincere manner, and this podcast truly speaks to me. Thank you 🙏
Amazing!
I came across your page on IG and was crying over a relatable reel and started listening to your podcast for the first time today. I listened to both part 1 and 2 of your story. Thank you so much for sharing. You helped me and I know this will help many other's.
What I’ve been needing to hear in recovery from DV
Grace- I found your podcast today and it’s like you’re telling a familiar story but with pieces of clarity and explanation and greater understanding than I have yet to experience elsewhere in my recovery journey.
Grace shares about domestic violence with honest truth and a gentleness for the listener that has been there.
This is helping my struggles with accepting the reality of domestic violence and how sick and sadistic and wrong it is and the cognitive dissonance that I stayed for “so long”. This helps in not feeling so alone, thank you for that.
I appreciate the compassion you have for everyone who has been affected by abusers in all ways, so detrimentally. As you say, these things are not talked about nearly enough so thank you so much for starting this podcast <3
