Send Bidemi a Text Message!In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with Lynn Fairweather, Founder and President of Presage Consulting & Training, a boutique threat assessment and management firm focused solely on domestic violence. The hour-long conversation traced her frontline beginnings to building corporate programs, unpacking “leakage,” pre-incident indicators, the red flags that indicate abusers as employees, and more. Lynn explains how domestic abuse becomes insider risk—through stalking and trackers, social-media hijacking, and corporate device tampering—and offers practical workplace safety planning tips across policy, training, and case consults. The conversation closes with metrics that matter and emerging tech-enabled abuse trends employers must prepare for.Support the show
In this episode, I explore Norman Rush's Mating, focusing on the chapter “Guilty Repose” and the section “Weep for Me.” Through the narrator's encounter with the waterfall, I unpack themes of noise, solitude, mediocrity, and companionship — connecting her revelations to my own experiences with silence, striving, and the human need for connection.Discussion Highlights:How “the roar penetrates you” mirrors our craving for sensory overwhelm — music, crowds, even chaos — to quiet the mind's constant chatter.The painful beauty of solitude eroding, and what it means to reconnect with ourselves after long avoidance.The “Weep for Me” moment as an honest confrontation with buried sadness, surfacing only when the world finally goes quiet.The narrator's fear of mediocrity and how society equates “average” with “unacceptable,” fueling endless striving.The final revelation — “If you had a companion you would stay where you are” — as a call to seek steadiness, humility, and shared presence over transcendence.

Sexual coercion is one of the most misunderstood and silenced forms of abuse. It's not seduction. It's not miscommunication. It's pressure, guilt, manipulation, and punishment used to get sex when you've already said no, shown hesitation, or felt unsafe. It's not about intimacy—it's about power and control.This is a bonus episode from Unhooked—my private podcast series for survivors breaking free from emotional abuse.In this episode, I break down how sexual coercion works, the subtle (and not‑so‑subtle) ways it shows up, and how it maps directly into the cycle of abuse. You'll learn:What sexual coercion actually is—and what it isn'tExamples of how it sounds and why survivors often can't name it in the momentHow coercion weaves through the tension‑building, incident, reconciliation, and calm stages of the abuse cycleThe emotional and body‑based trauma responses it creates, including dissociation and loss of sexual agencyWhy “yes” isn't real consent if it's given out of fear, exhaustion, guilt, or to avoid conflictIf you've experienced this but never had the words for it, this episode will help you see it, name it, and understand that it is abuse.This bonus episode is part of Unhooked: Mapping the Cycle of Abuse—a private podcast where we break down each phase of the abuse cycle, explore trauma bonding in depth, and help you reclaim your clarity, your nervous system, and your sense of self.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner
In this episode, we unpack a powerful distinction that shifts how we view conflict, commitment, and connection:The difference between fighting for your life (survival mode) and fighting for a life (intentional living)Why some relationship arguments aren't about breaking up—they're about building something meaningfulHow setting boundaries, saving money, and making hard choices are all ways of fighting for a lifePractical ways to recognize when you're reacting vs. when you're reaching for moreWhat it looks like to collaborate on a shared vision instead of clashing over unmet expectationsThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

They're kind again… so does that mean they've changed? In this episode, we unpack why the “nice” version is part of the abuse cycle — and how to tell the difference between real change and a calculated reset.One of the most confusing parts of an emotionally abusive relationship is when the cruelty suddenly stops — and the “nice” version of the person shows up. Maybe they're warmer, calmer, even kind for a while. You start to wonder… are they finally changing? Was I wrong about the abuse?In this episode, I break down why that “nice” version isn't separate from the abuse — it's part of the cycle. We'll explore how kindness can be used as a tactic, why it often appears when you're pulling away or setting boundaries, and how intermittent reinforcement keeps you hooked in the trauma bond.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

How abused UK Minister's wife fought the system and won! (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 210, Season 22, Episode 0001 This week's Black Spy Podcast continues last week's venture into one of the most troubling and complex intersections of politics, justice, media, and personal trauma. Host Carlton King is joined by journalist and publicist Firgas Esack, who brings both professional insight and lived experience as a survivor of domestic abuse, to dissect the extraordinary and disturbing case of former Conservative government minister Andrew Griffith and his ex-wife, Kate Griffith. The discussion begins with the deeply personal: Kate Griffith's harrowing allegations of coercive control and marital rape during her marriage to Andrew Griffith, an abuse which highlights the dark realities too often hidden behind the public façades of power. Firgas and Carlton explore how these dynamics echo the experiences of countless women, showing how the language of love, loyalty, and parental responsibility is frequently weaponised to keep victims silent and trapped. The conversation then widens to examine systemic issues: the underfunding of the criminal justice system, the shortcomings of parliamentary standards, and the uneven way cases of domestic and sexual abuse are handled in both the courts and the media. Why do survivors so often feel disbelieved or dismissed? Why does the system still lean toward protecting the reputations of powerful men over the safety and dignity of women? A striking dimension of the Griffith case is its political twist: following their divorce, Kate Griffith went on to win her ex-husband's former parliamentary seat, a moment that raises difficult questions about power, gender, and the resilience of survivors. Firgas and Carlton reflect on what it means when the abused literally takes the place of the abuser within the same structures of state power—and whether this represents justice, irony, or something more troubling. Both episodes also address wider societal narratives: the persistence of misogyny, the culture of male blame, and the contested notion of the parental prerogative—the belief that parents, no matter their abusive behaviour, should retain access to their children. This debate exposes the tensions between a child's welfare, the rights of survivors, and the rights of perpetrators who seek to maintain control through family courts. Together, these two episodes present not just a single case but a lens on Britain's political class, its justice system, and its societal attitudes toward gendered violence. They ask listeners to confront whether progress is being made, or whether institutions remain complicit in sustaining patterns of abuse.

Ahsima House is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping domestic violence survivors and their pets in Georgia. Ahimsa House offers free services to anyone in Georgia, regardless of their financial situation. The Ahimsa House Story Ahimsa House was founded with a central shelter in Atlanta, but in 2007, the organization shifted its approach to better serve a wider range of people. The group launched a direct services program that uses a network of foster homes and boarding facilities throughout Georgia to provide confidential and safe shelter for pets. Since its founding, Ahimsa House has provided over 198,000 nights of safe, confidential shelter for pets in need. In 2023, Ahimsa House assisted 198 people and 365 pets, its most successful year to date. The organization's 24-hour crisis line also received 3,785 calls in 2023. Ahimsa House is primarily funded by individual donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships. The cost to care for one survivor's pets is approximately $2,000, which can increase when multiple, exotic, or neglected animals require extensive care. Direct Services Program Ahimsa House's direct services program is designed to provide comprehensive support for survivors and their pets. The program includes: A 24-hour statewide crisis line. Emergency shelter for all types of animals. Veterinary care, including spay/neuter services, preventive care, and treatment for injuries due to abuse. Forensic veterinary examinations to document animal cruelty for legal proceedings. Pet transportation assistance to help owners and their pets relocate safely. Financial assistance for pet deposits in transitional housing, as well as pet food and supplies. Donations of pet supplies to domestic violence shelters. Assistance with safety planning to include pets. Legal advocacy to help survivors include pets in temporary protective orders.

The outreach program includes: Training and cross-training for human services and animal protection agencies. Public awareness initiatives through community events and informational materials. Consultation for prosecutors on cases involving co-occurring domestic violence and animal cruelty. A directory of similar programs across the United States.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Sharon shares her life full of trauma. Sharon experienced two traumatic life-altering events by the age of 9. The after effects of these events reverberated throughout her life. Sharon became extremely self-sacrificing, felt that she didn't matter, and feared abandonment. In both of her abusive relationships, Sharon was very open about her childhood trauma, and both partners seemed to care about it at first, only to use it against her later. It's a story of child sexual abuse, codependency, trauma bonds, infidelity, abandonment, cognitive dissonance, lies, dissociation, manipulation, triangulation, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, put downs, sarcasm, guilt, blame shifting, and PTSD. *** CONTENT WARNING - Graphic descriptions of child sexual abuse, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com PODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS: Perfect Prey With Dr. Christine Cocchiola | Click Here The Covert Narcissism Podcast | Click Here Bitch is a Bad Word | Click Here When Dating Hurts Podcast | Click Here If you or someone you know are experiencing abuse, you are not alone.

Leila Nathoo investigates the risk assessment system for domestic abuse, and asks whether it is any longer fit for purpose.The DASH form is the gateway for victims and survivors of domestic abuse - used by the police, charities and social workers to assess people who may be at risk of domestic abuse. It is deeply embedded in the whole system and plays a central role in deciding what further support victims receive. But Leila reveals troubling evidence that DASH too often incorrectly identifies those at the highest risk, meaning they do not get the support they need. And people across the system tell her that the form has not kept pace with the latest research about domestic abuse. Leila asks those who use the form, those who have studied its use, and those who developed it, what improvements need to be made, and why it has taken so long.Producer: Daniel Kraemer.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is now attempting to reframe his public image as that of a domestic abuse prevention advocate, presenting the shift as part of a broader redemption arc ahead of his sentencing. His legal team has outlined a plan for him to work with domestic violence programs, counsel abusers, and speak directly to youth about the consequences of such behavior. They are pitching this not just as personal growth but as a way for Combs to give back to the community, portraying him as a figure who can use his own mistakes as a cautionary example. This strategy is being positioned as evidence of rehabilitation in hopes of swaying the court toward a lighter sentence.In prison, Combs has enrolled in therapy and self-improvement programs, including those designed to address sexual and domestic violence, alongside substance abuse treatment. But critics—especially those connected to his alleged victims—see the rebrand as nothing more than a calculated PR move. They argue that positioning himself as a counselor without first showing genuine accountability is manipulative and disingenuous, serving the optics of the courtroom rather than the needs of survivors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy's Bid to Avoid Prison: He'll Become a Domestic Abuse Counselor - Business InsiderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Have you or someone close to you experienced trauma? Most of us have at one point in our lives to various degrees. Kim Haar had an extreme trauma when her usually calm ex-husband broke into her home one night, beat her for three-and-a-half hours, shot holes in her walls, kidnapped her and took her to her boyfriend's house where he shot him ten times. This horrific story plays out like something from a movie, but unfortunately Kim knows all too well how real it was. But thankfully she's still alive to share her story and give others hope that there is healing on the other side. Kim is a licensed professional counselor and marriage and family therapist who knows how to lead people to victory over their past trauma rather than living life as a victim. her testimony is a living example that demonstrates what the enemy meant for evil, God redeemed for good.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup__Sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from dropping the mask and reclaiming your story after decades of living someone else's version of your life. Dr. Shafer Stedron knows this journey intimately.Dr. Shafer is a neurologist, life coach, author, and host of Talks with Dr. Shafer. Drawing from both clinical expertise and lived experience, she helps others reframe their stories with creativity, compassion, and courage. Her work explores the intersections of burnout, movement, and emotional regulation, plus why traditional systems often fail ADHD minds.In this conversation, Dr. Shafer and Tracy dive into the reality of being neurodivergent in medicine—from the 2016 study showing 34% of medical students with disabilities have ADHD, to why doctors with ADHD often catch things others miss (hello, pattern recognition and environmental scanning). They explore Shafer's journey from a 19-year-old who said yes to marriage after two weeks, through decades of domestic abuse, to finally learning to listen to her "harm alarm" and reclaim her story.Dr. Shafer also shares her approach to helping people drop the mask and create what she calls a "bubble sheet"—not a linear trajectory, but a sheet covered with all your goals and interests, because that's who you are as a person. Plus, she breaks down her children's book The Boy and His Brightly Colored Blocks, which explores pathological demand avoidance and why connection beats correction every time.Resources:Website: drshaferstedronova.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talks_with_dr_shafer Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TalkswithDrShafer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shafer-stedron-4b7a19263 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next?
