What if we stopped telling women how to stay safe, and started asking why violence against them keeps happening in the first place? On this episode, I'm joined for a second time, by Amy Watson, the founder of social enterprise HASSL. She's trying to tackle violence against women and girls at its root. Not with another awareness campaign or  safety app. But by building a global movement designed to shift responsibility away from women, and onto society. OverviewWhen Amy first joined the podcast a year ago, we discussed the scale and reality of violence against women. A year on, she returns to talk about what it actually takes to tackle it. In just twelve months, her social enterprise HASSL has grown into a global prevention movement: more than half a million followers, thousands of volunteers across over 120 countries, and campaigns reaching millions of people organically.But this isn't just a story about social media growth. It's about culture change. In an extended and wide-ranging disucssion, we explore why laws alone don't solve systemic problems, why “stay safe” advice can unintentionally reinforce the wrong narrative, and what happens when you apply entrepreneurial thinking to one of society's most entrenched issues.This is a conversation about scale, backlash, risk and moral ambition, and about what it means to build something that refuses to compromise.Guest Bio - Amy WatsonAmy is the founder of HASSL, a global social enterprise tackling harassment at the root.HASSL focuses on prevention — shifting responsibility for violence away from women as individuals and onto the cultural and systemic factors that enable harm. Combining research, education and partnerships, it aims to create scalable, long-term change rather than short-term fixes. In just over a year, HASSL has grown into a global movement with hundreds of thousands of followers and volunteers across more than 120 countries. Amy's work sits at the intersection of social justice and entrepreneurship, applying business thinking to one of society's most entrenched problems. AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – Intro: From Problem to ActionChristian frames this follow-up as a shift from discussing violence against women to exploring what it takes to tackle it in practice. 02:00 – What HASSL Stands For Amy explains HASSL's prevention-first approach: shifting responsibility away from women and onto culture, systems and male behaviour. 05:00 – Scaling a Social Enterprise Rapid global growth, research-driven strategy, sustainable funding streams and a structured five-stage plan. 08:30 – Education & Engaging MenLaunch of free education resources, bystander tools and conversation frameworks designed to invite men into the solution. 16:00 – Entrepreneurship, Risk & Moral AmbitionApplying startup thinking to social change; sacrificing financial ambition for impact; long-term vision over quick wins. 35:00 – Values, Independence & Leadership Why Amy avoids outside investment, refuses to compromise on inclusivity, and builds operational resilience into the organisation. 58:30 – Backlash & Online Abuse Trolling, hate messages and the deliberate disruption of a webinar — and what that reveals about cultural normalisation. 01:05:00 – Using Criticism as LeverageTurning recurring myths (“false accusations”, “what about men?”) into educational opportunities and narrative shifts. 01:21:00 – Barriers to Reporting Why speaking out rarely benefits women; the structural and social costs involved.01:37:00 – Building a Movement How listeners can engage — and why lasting change requires persistence, scale and collective responsibility.Links Amy's previous appearance on the show - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/amy-watson-on-violence-against-women/HASSL - hassl.ukMoral Ambition by Rutger Bregman - https://www.moralambition.org/book

There are some episodes of this show that don't revolve around a single survivor story, but they still land just as hard—because they force us to look at ourselves. This is one of those conversations. It's not about recounting trauma; it's about what allows harm to keep happening in everyday spaces, and what it actually takes to interrupt that. This episode asks questions most people would rather avoid, and it does so in a way that's direct, practical, and impossible to brush off. My conversation with Amy Watson was exactly that kind of dialogue. We talked about prevention, responsibility, and the reality that good intentions don't create safer spaces—people do. We spent time talking about men's roles in this work, not as an accusation, but as a call to step up. Who speaks up when something isn't right. Who stays quiet. And how often silence gets mistaken for neutrality. Nothing about this conversation felt abstract. It was grounded in real-world behavior and real-world consequences. If you're someone who believes harassment and violence should be addressed before harm occurs—not just after—this episode is worth your time. Amy's work through HASSL is about action, not optics. About doing something when it would be easier to do nothing. Episode 175 isn't a passive listen. It challenges you to think differently about your role in the spaces you occupy and what responsibility actually looks like when it matters.

After growing sick of the rhetoric around women's safety, and how women were supposed to 'protect themselves' from harassment, Amy Watson started the social enterprise Hassl. The organisation is focused on addressing the root issues behind harassment and assault, and in a year has gained a massive following online. Abbie sits down with Amy to discuss her journey to starting Hassl, how to engage with men on the issue, and why she thinks the stats around harassment and assault are flawed.

Send us a textThe journey through trauma is not simply about survival – it can become a pathway to profound personal transformation. In this deeply moving episode, Amy Watson reveals her own path from childhood abuse and a suicide attempt to becoming a trauma therapist and doctoral candidate, introducing listeners to the scientifically validated concept of post-traumatic growth.While trauma itself is never a gift, the struggle with trauma can catalyze remarkable changes in those who face it directly rather than avoid it. This isn't wishful thinking or toxic positivity – it's a psychological phenomenon documented in hundreds of research studies. Amy walks us through the five domains where this growth commonly emerges: discovering unexpected personal strength, deepening meaningful relationships, finding new life possibilities, gaining profound appreciation for everyday joys, and developing deeper spiritual understanding.What makes this conversation particularly powerful is Amy's transparency about her own experience – how the trauma that nearly destroyed her became the foundation for her life's purpose and deepest connections. She shares the pivotal moment when a friend told her she was "worth fighting for," highlighting how safe relationships become crucial anchors in the healing journey. Particularly striking is her honesty that post-traumatic growth can coexist with ongoing symptoms; healing isn't linear, and growth doesn't erase pain.For anyone weathering the aftermath of trauma, this episode offers genuine hope without minimizing suffering. Amy provides practical insights for nurturing growth through storytelling, social support, reflective thinking, and faith, while cautioning against rushing the process or using the concept to dismiss others' pain. Her message resonates with compassionate authority: you are not broken, healing is possible, and there is something meaningful waiting on the other side of survival. If you're struggling to believe transformation is possible after trauma, this conversation might just change your perspective.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED

Send us a text"Do you want to get well?" The question Jesus asked a paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda seems almost ridiculous on the surface. Why wouldn't someone paralyzed for 38 years want healing? Yet this profound question cuts straight to the heart of our complicated relationship with wellness.Sometimes the most difficult part of healing isn't the pain itself—it's surrendering the identity we've built around being broken. For the man at Bethesda, wellness would mean leaving behind the security of being cared for, the familiar routine of his days by the pool, and stepping into an unknown future with new responsibilities. His immediate response wasn't "yes" but a list of excuses about why healing hadn't happened yet.In this deeply personal episode, Amy Watson vulnerably shares her own journey of paralysis—not physical, but emotional. For decades, trauma, abuse, and neglect had become her identity, her comfortable narrative, her "badge of honor." When asked the same question Jesus posed at Bethesda, "Do you want to get well?", Amy found herself resistant. Wellness would require stepping into the light after years in darkness, confronting painful truths, and most challengingly, living a life worthy of her healing.The question "Do you want to get well?" isn't just for those with physical ailments or trauma histories. It's for anyone trapped in bitterness, resentment, harmful patterns, or spiritual stagnation. Getting well means getting up and walking forward—taking responsibility for our healing and using it to glorify the God who made us whole.What area of your life has been paralyzed, not by circumstance, but by choice? What would it look like if you truly allowed Jesus to heal you and picked up your mat? As Amy reminds us, Jesus doesn't write bad stories—He just asks us to put down our pens and trust Him as the author of our healing journey.Feature a microphone or symbolic imagery (e.g., a broken heart mending, light through cracks)?You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED

How can we prevent violence against women?  And what role do men who don't engage in violence, have to play?This episode tackles a serious, but important topic.  Violence against women affects millions worldwide, yet too often, the focus is placed on how women can protect themselves rather than addressing the behaviors and systems that enable violence in the first place. This isn't a problem women can solve alone—society as a whole, and particularly men, need to be part of the solution. But how do we move from awareness to meaningful change?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I sit down with Amy Watson, the founder of HASSL, an organization dedicated to tackling the root causes of female harassment and violence against women.We explore the traditional responses to these issues, why they fall short, and what needs to change. Amy shares her personal experiences that led her to launch HASSL and how her entrepreneurial mindset is driving her mission.We discuss how Amy is using a business model, rather than a charity, to fund and scale her impact. She explains her five-stage strategy, which includes education, community engagement, and innovative reporting technology designed to make it easier for victims to seek justice.She also highlights the importance of engaging men in the conversation, not as part of the problem, but as critical allies in creating safer spaces.Beyond the specifics of violence against women, this conversation offers lessons for anyone interested in advocacy, making a difference, or building a business with a social purpose.Amy's story is one of determination, strategic thinking, and the belief that real change is possible when we tackle problems at their root.Guest BiographyAmy Watson is the founder of HASSL, a newly launched organization dedicated to addressing the root causes of harassment and violence against women. With a background in entrepreneurship and a degree focused on business innovation, Amy has always been drawn to projects that combine social impact with business acumen.Before launching HASSL, she worked as the COO of a health tech startup, where she honed her skills in building and scaling a mission-driven company. Her experience of being harassed in broad daylight—and the realization that no one stepped in to help—was the catalyst for founding HASSL.Rather than relying on traditional awareness campaigns, Amy is focused on using a business model to fund long-term solutions, including workplace training, school education programs, and cutting-edge reporting technology.She has rapidly grown a strong community, with over 250,000 social media followers and an ambassador network of 650+ individuals dedicated to making society safer for women.AI Generated Timestamped Summary [00:00:00] Introduction to the episode and why this conversation is essential.[00:01:00] Why violence against women is not just a women's issue—it's a societal issue.[00:02:00] Introduction to guest Amy Watson and the mission of HASSL.[00:03:00] Amy's background in entrepreneurship and social impact.[00:06:00] The personal experience that led Amy to start HASSL.[00:09:00] Why traditional solutions focus too much on reaction rather than prevention. [00:12:00] The role of governments vs. private initiatives in solving societal issues.[00:15:00] The business strategy behind HASSL and why it's structured as a social enterprise.[00:17:00] The importance of bootstrapping and keeping control over the mission. [00:21:00] The five-stage plan for HASSL's growth and impact.[00:26:00] The broader implications of addressing harassment beyond public spaces. [00:29:00] The messaging strategy—why starting with strong advocates is key. [00:35:00] Understanding the spectrum of male allyship and how to shift behavior.[00:40:00] The challenge of balancing strong messaging with accessibility. [00:47:00] Addressing the “not all men” argument and why it misses the point.[00:56:00] Why men need to be part of the solution, not just observers. [01:02:00] The importance of scalable advocacy and shifting the messaging over time. [01:07:00] How workplace training can engage people who might not otherwise listen.[01:12:00] The need for a more inclusive and engaging approach to education. [01:20:00] Final thoughts on what needs to change and how listeners can help.LinksHassl website - www.hassl.uk

Fellow podcaster, teacher and speaker, Amy Watson from Florida, joins me today on Welcome Heart: Living a Legacy Life to tell her story of trauma, healing and hope in Jesus. Although she lived with trauma from early childhood, it wasn't until age 35 when she "felt safe" that she began her healing journey. She began her podcast, Wednesdays with Watson, to share not only her story but to help in the healing of others. All contributions to her Patreon are donated to help those receive therapy who cannot afford to get it.  Some gems from our conversation: When trauma victims finally begin to feel "safe" that's when they can start the long process of healing. Our mission on this earth is critical and the time is short. God promises we will have trials in this world and that He has overcome the world. When folks ask me who I am I like to say, "I'm a precious daughter of the Most High God." The church's role is not to provide band-aid's and Christian cliches'; rather it's to pay attention and open our homes, tables and lives to those around us. How can anyone attempt to navigate life on earth without the hope we have in Jesus? We need to pay attention to the people in our churches and neighborhoods—to help them feel seen, known and valued.  Because people knocked on my door, invited me in, and loved me like Jesus—that is the reason I am standing here today. From Amy:  I am a Florida girl who loves a simple life: Jesus, family, friends, football, and the beach (usually in that order). I am a native of Jacksonville, Florida, but have spent most of my adult life on Florida's west coast. While being introduced for a speaking opportunity a few years ago, the pastor asked me, “Who are you?”. The words that followed shocked even me: “I am the precious daughter of the most high God”. There were many years when I would not have answered that question as I did that day. I have spent most of my life defining myself by all that I have survived, all that I have accomplished, or all the degrees on my wall. The truth is, my answer to that pastor's question that day is the definition that is most important, and one that I hope truly defines my life when I am gone. The rest: survival, accomplishments, and college degrees are certainly a part of my story and why I write, mentor, and speak. My description of “who I am” that day is why I stand proclaiming Him and Him alone. I grew up in a children's home, graduated from Clearwater Christian College with a degree in Biology (1994); was married for 12 years to a man who tried to kill me and somewhere along the way managed to earn my Masters Degree in Business Administration. I have enjoyed success as an entrepreneur as well as an educator. As a survivor of a lot of things that tried to kill me, it is my desire to use my story to spread a story of Hope for any who may find themselves in similar situations as mine. I love both the written and spoken word and enjoy opportunities to share my experiences in both personal and professional genres. My greatest desire is to invest my life in something that will outlive it. It is my hope that all of my efforts here and in other places will accomplish just that.   To learn more from Amy follow all these places: wednesdayswithwatson.com  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/132618684688613 Instagram.com/authoramywatson X: twitter.com/amywatsonauthor   If you're interested in hearing a more detailed story of her trauma, Amy recommends this recording: https://wednesdayswithwatson.com/charting-the-course-of-healing-a-personal-odyssey-through-trauma-faith-and-redemption/ And to see how to contribute to her Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/amywatsonauthor

Den Kongelige Danske Ballet har fået ny chef: Amerikaneren Amy Watson, der selv har været danser på balletten i 21 år.  Hun har overtaget posten efter balletmester Nikolaj Hübbe, der stoppede i slutningen af oktober. Det skete efter en række skandaler, der kulminerede med Politikens afsløringer af alvorlig mistrivsel blandt eleverne på Det Kongelige Teaters Balletskole og en efterfølgende advokatundersøgelse, der bekræftede mistrivsel og konkluderede, at det især skyldtes en »tavshedskultur«.  Amy Watson har ikke fået ansvaret for balletskolen, men hvor meget kendte hun til problemerne? Og vil hun gøre noget for at ændre kulturen i balletten?  Gæst: Amy Watson, balletchef på Den Kongelige Danske Ballet Vært: Kaare Svejstrup  Foto: Søren Bidstrup (Berlingske)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I jamaicansk reggae har man en tradition for, at dj's konkurrerer om at holde den bedste fest ved at spille plader og snakke hen over musikken på et såkaldt sound system. Skal man virkelig vinde festen, så skal man have en sang, hvor en kendt gæstestjerne roser ens optræden. Men med AI-teknologi, der kan skabe alle stemmer kunstigt, er sound clash-kulturen truet. Rasmus Poulsen, bedre kendt som musikeren Raske Penge, forklarer hvordan. Den Kongelige Ballet har pludselig fået ny midlertidig chef. Tidligere solodanser og instruktør Amy Watson får fremover til opgave at lede kompagniets 80 dansere, indtil balletmester Nikolaj Hübbe kommer tilbage. I forsommeren sygemeldte balletmesteren sig efter en længere tids konflikt mellem Den Kongelige Ballet og Det Kongelige Teaters Balletskole. Det oplyser Det Kgl. Teater til Politiken. Balletkritiker og forfatter Alexander Meinertz tegner et portræt af Watson og forklarer, hvilken betydning hun får for balletten. Værter: Casper Dyrholm og Tony Scott.

We discuss pivotal moments that illustrate how trauma manifests in daily life and the need to remove mental health stigmas. By sharing personal anecdotes alongside biblical references, we examine the universal nature of trauma and the significance of safe spaces.Faith, community, and the fight for self-acceptance are central to our conversations. From recounting the detachment experienced during trauma to finding solace in the Bible, we explore the shared human struggle for worthiness and the importance of compassionate connections. This episode serves as a heartfelt prayer for anyone experiencing similar pain, reminding them that they are not alone. Through the lens of my own recovery journey, I hope to inspire listeners to seek and find the support they need, knowing that healing is always within reach.License for "What Love Really Means"April 22, 2024 The Music Bed, LLC ("MB") approves the use of "What Love Really Means" (Composition(s) and Master(s)) for Wednesdays with Watson "Wednesdays with Watson" (the "Production") pursuant to your request date April 22, 2024 as follows: SECTION I Composition/Master: Artist(s): Duration: Licenses: Territory: Production: Scene/Project Description: Personal Channel: Fee: What Love Really Means JJ Heller 3:56 Individual / Youtube Creator / Podcaster / No client or brand/company work / Up to 1 million subscribers / Up to 10k monthly downloads / Web / Social Media, Podcast Worldwide Wednesdays with Watson Hosted by Amy Watson, a passionate advocate for mental health and a trauma survivor, this podcast aims to provide a safe and empathetic space for listeners to learn, share, and find hope.

Lydia Garner graciously steps into the interviewer's seat for this anniversary edition of the Wednesdays with Watson podcast, navigating through the waters of my personal narrative. Together, we unveil the intricate patterns of loss and abuse, but more prominently, the redemptive power of the gospel that has been my beacon of hope. The steadfast figures who've anchored me in trust and the scriptures that have been my compass through the darkest storms are shared with immense gratitude.The voices from my church community resonate throughout our conversation, highlighting the male figures who, against the backdrop of my traumatic experiences, helped me to rebuild trust brick by brick. We recount the moments of betrayal and the resilience forged in the sanctuary of faith, as well as the guiding light of educators like Mama Gallen who propelled me toward academic peaks I never dreamed reachable. The narrative thread weaves through poignant memories, transformative relationships, and the sanctuary of scripture, demonstrating the relentless pursuit of healing and the embrace of a community that reflects Christ's love.As the sails are set towards a horizon of trauma-informed education, we celebrate the milestones reached and the journey ahead. Gratitude overflows for the listeners, supporters, and friends who have accompanied me on this four-year odyssey, and for the new chapter that beckons with the promise of a doctorate focused on the intersection of faith and healing.

CONTACT AMYThe Wednesdays With Watson Podcast is honored to bring Amber Cullum, host of Grace Enough Podcast to our microphone. Amber has a message for all of us. "You don't have to have the Amy Watson story to experience trauma that needs to be addressed and has consequences". Does trauma occur in seemingly healthy, two parent families? How does said trauma affect our parents and what is the trickle down as children watch their parents respond?  Amber does a great job of helping us understand trauma as it occurs in two parent, in tact, "culturally Christian" homes. "sometimes we can know why they feel because we hold space for people who don't believe like we do."--Amber CullumAmber shares this podcast's mission and that is to provide Hope for those who feel like their trauma doesn't matter because it's not "the Amy Watson story". We understand that not all listeners share our faith in Jesus. However, it is important to provide a safe place for people to process trauma. We are that place.Don't miss this episode as it is vital that we understand trauma in all its forms.
