Chlo finds her way home.

Since she was the one who first planted the seed for this podcast, it’s only fitting that she now steps behind the mic to share her own story — a raw and powerful journey through childhood sexual abuse, battles with drugs and alcohol, and the long road to rediscovering herself. Join Chlo as she finds the courage to come home to who she truly is.

From Surviving to speaking out.

TW: Childhood Sexual abuse, drug use, suicidal ideation, mental health challenges and accusations of sexual assault. He spent much of his childhood and adolescence questioning his sexual identity and so did those around him, carrying the reason why deep beneath the surface. In this episode, our guest opens up about finding the courage to speak his truth and release the heavy burden he had carried for so long. He also reflects on the devastating experience of being charged with a crime he did not commit. This is a powerful journey through sadness, confusion, anguish, isolation, and fear—ultimately leading to resilience, recovery, and hope.   Lifeline Australia - 13 11 14 - Crisis Support.

I was hurt - But I'm still here.

TW: Assault and alcohol and drug use. Imagine waking up in a pool of blood—no memory of what happened, no idea how you got there. Now imagine it happening not once… but twice. How do you even begin to process that? Could you ever just shake it off? This week, our guest takes us inside his powerful story—navigating the heartbreaking loss of close friends and surviving not one, but two violent encounters that left him battered and unconscious. It’s a raw and confronting journey you won’t forget.   Support Services:  24/7 Support for Anxiety, Depression and Suicide Prevention. - Beyond Blue [https://www.beyondblue.org.au/] Lifeline Australia - 13 11 14 - Crisis Support.
