About Mending_relationships

This podcast has come out of conversations between Nic Velissaris and Alicia Benn-Lawler about the issues that arise for both men, women and non-binary post divorce and seperation.Our podcast seeks to investigate and open up a space for different stories and guidance to be shared and in time a better understanding can be built to guide others going through difficult times.Broken Men was originally a theatre script written out of Nic's personal journey after his own marriage came to an end. As an established writer and playwright he found an element of liberation creating a fictionalised group of men that could support eachother through difficult times and Nic not only drew on his own experiences, but the stories that others told him while he was going through his own seperation.Broken Men went through many readings and finally a public reading at The Carlton Courthouse Theatre, Melbourne (Supported by La Mama Theatre) in 2022. The strong and passionate discussion from the audience around this subject highlighted to Nic and Alicia (the producer and director) that certain stories within relationship culture remain taboo and hidden, despite their commonplace.Therefore in 2024, Nic and Alicia saw Broken Men (theatre script) as a bigger conversation, it was a shared discussion on Mending. Our goal is to build a platform where all people can share and heal by listening to others stories. A space where therapists and support services can lend advice on Divorce, Seperation andconscious uncoupling.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
