episode 3 / Freedom, Then Fear: Jaymee's Story of Reclaiming Her Power artwork

3 / Freedom, Then Fear: Jaymee's Story of Reclaiming Her Power

In this inspiring episode of Voices of Change, we speak with Jaymee Morrison, a Sunshine Coast business owner of Town [https://www.town.com.au/], and domestic violence survivor who bravely shares her story of abuse that began at one of the most dangerous times she left the relationship. Jaymee opens up about the often-overlooked reality of post-separation violence — the fear, the trauma, and the resilience it took to reclaim her life. But this is not just a story of survival — it’s one of growth, healing, and refusing to be defined by her darkest chapter. Today, Jaymee stands not just as a survivor, but as a thriving woman, business leader, and advocate for change. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that your past does not define your future. This is more than a podcast—it’s a movement for awareness, empowerment, and change. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please reach out to local support services or visit somewheretogofoundation.

episode 2 / What I Wish I Knew: Emily’s Story of Teenage Domestic Violence artwork

2 / What I Wish I Knew: Emily’s Story of Teenage Domestic Violence

In this deeply moving episode of Voices of Change, Emily Burton [https://www.instagram.com/emilykburton/], a Sunshine Coast business owner, shares her story of surviving domestic violence as a teenager, publicly for the very first time. Emily opens up about the hidden nature of abuse in young relationships, the warning signs she didn’t recognise at the time, and the emotional toll that carried into her adult life. Her courage in revisiting these memories isn’t just about healing — it’s about helping others see they are not alone, and that there is life, strength, and success after survival. This is a powerful reminder that domestic violence doesn’t always look the way we expect — and that speaking out can be the first step toward freedom. This is more than a podcast—it’s a movement for awareness, empowerment, and change. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please reach out to local support services or visit somewheretogofoundation.com.au for resources.

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.
