Shining a Light on a Dark Reality: Natalie Galcsik

Support is available from the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service [https://www.1800respect.org.au/] at 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732). In this special episode of No Hair Just Finance, we confront the devastating epidemic of violence against women, an issue that demands urgent action. We reflect on the tragic loss of Natalie Galcsik, a loving mother of five, whose life was taken by her husband in late September. Through this heartbreaking story, we explore the profound impact of domestic violence on families and communities, while asking a critical question—are the government's current initiatives enough to protect those at risk?  Joining us for this important discussion are two remarkable guests. Simone Allan, the founder of the Women's Resilience Centre, shares her insights on how this vital organisation is working to support survivors and foster long-term healing. We are also honoured to speak with Lisa McAdams, an extraordinary individual who has overcome domestic violence and now uses her voice to inspire change. As a survivor and author of two books on the topic, Lisa brings both personal experience and deep expertise to the conversation.  This episode aims to raise awareness, spark meaningful dialogue, and push for real change to prevent future tragedies.
