This week, we look at the outcome of the case against Sean ‘Diddy' Combs in the US - and how evidence of domestic abuse, coercive control, and power dynamics were ignored and misunderstood with the help of our media. We also discuss those viral videos of fans queuing to see Chris Brown, a convicted abuser, on the same week he stands trial for Grievous Bodily Harm. After the break, welfare is taking a bashing on both sides of the Atlantic. But did you know the UK and US already fall far down the rankings when it comes to state benefits? Labour has been ridiculed for yet another ‘U-turn', as benefit cuts are reversed and Rachel Reeves' crying face is plastered on every front page. Is it the ableism of the U-turn coverage, or the sexism or the Reeves coverage, that'll win this week's media storm prize? We end with Eyes on Palestine - has the world had the wool pulled over its eyes by Netanyahu's "new aid plan"?

I explain how I lost myself piece by piece, how I started to map the cycle, and what it took to finally break free.If you've ever felt confused, blamed, minimized, or like nothing you do is ever enough, I hope you hear your own clarity in this episode.

Kim Hollenback, Managing Attorney of the Media Office of Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania and VOCA Supervising Attorney spoke about the Victim of Crimes Act and the civil legal services for victims of domestic violence and other crimes her program offers. We discussed the different kinds of abuse, physical, mental and financial, and she reminds us that it is between partners, that it is not limited to married couples. Anyone in a relationship - dating, parental or other, can be the victim of abuse, regardless of age or gender. Describing domestic violence as a public health issues, she talked about the relief her office can offer, including Protection from Abuse orders (restraining orders), child custody, divorce, landlord-tenant issues and even expungements. We discussed the restrictions that the state of Pennsylvania places on victims, they narrowly define DV as actual physical abuse, and how they are able to get protections and recourse for their clients. Legal Aid of Southeastern PA provides free legal services to low-income individuals and seniors throughout Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. Because the program is funded through the Victim of Crimes Act they do not have income requirements, and they are permitted to assist non-citizens as well. She notes, however, that in many cases legal help is either too costly for families above the cut off and many victims of abuse do not have access to their funds. We discussed other funding for LASP and its programming and Kim reminds us that Legal Aid delivers up to a $12 return on every dollar invested in it; she encourages direct donations to keep them secure.

There were 32,144 contacts to the Women's Aid service in 2024, a rise of 12% compared to the previous year and the highest in the organisation's 50-year history.

This is one of the most common—and most heartbreaking—questions I hear: Can a narcissist change? In this episode of You Are Not Crazy, I'm walking you through the reality behind that question.The short answer? Maybe—but almost never.Real change requires emotional accountability, humility, and deep psychological work… and most narcissists aren't willing to do that. Not because they can't—but because they don't see the need. In this episode, we explore why narcissistic change is so rare, how survivors get stuck waiting for the version of their partner that never existed, and what it means to reclaim your clarity instead of waiting for someone else's transformation.I also share a personal reflection on what helped me break free from the fantasy of potential and face the truth of what was in front of me.You'll learn:Why even accurate criticism feels unbearable to a narcissistWhat it actually takes to change—and why most won'tHow the trauma bond keeps you holding onHow to stop waiting and start healing✨ This episode pairs with my new course Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse, designed to help you make sense of the chaos and see your relationship clearly.

When you're breaking a trauma bond or coming to terms with the end of a manipulative relationship, it doesn't just bruise you—it shatters something inside. This kind of grief defies logic. You're not just mourning a relationship. You're grieving the version of you who believed in it, the future you imagined, and the love you gave so fully.I walk through what this heartbreak really is—and what it isn't. It's not weakness. It's not over-sensitivity. It's a nervous system crash after prolonged emotional chaos. It's what happens when your love was real, but the relationship was built on manipulation, betrayal, or broken promises.Inside this episode:Why grief after narcissistic abuse feels unbearableThe emotional rollercoaster of detaching from someone who hurt youHow shame, self-blame, and rumination keep you stuckWhy you still miss them, even when they treated you badlyA reminder that your pain is a reflection of your depth—not a flawSupport the show*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

Detective Superintendent Sinéad Greene, of the Garda National Protective Services Bureau
In this episode, Niall asks: Should Gardaí be allowed to tell potential partners if someone has a history of domestic violence?There have been calls for a new law that would let Gardaí share information about individuals who've been accused — or convicted — of domestic abuse. Supporters say it could save lives. Critics argue it's an invasion of privacy and undermines the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.”Some callers said it's a no-brainer: If someone has a pattern of abuse, especially if convicted, new partners deserve to know. Others were more cautious, warning that unfounded accusations could ruin reputations and be misused during bitter breakups. One caller insisted even allegations should be taken seriously, pointing to the difficulty of securing convictions in such cases.As Niall points out, it's a complex issue that pits personal safety against personal rights — and asks how far the state should go to protect people from potential harm.

When Stacey Womack had her six children, she considered motherhood her ministry. God began to speak to her about ministry beyond her own family.Abuse Recovery Ministry Services (ARMS) was birthed in 1997 as Stacey Womack followed God's call to work in the field of domestic violence, even though she had not experienced abuse herself. A year later, ARMS held their first HER JOURNEY, victim recovery group.Incorporated as a non-profit (501c3) in June of 1999, Stacey's grass roots efforts have grown to now serve on a national and international level, supporting both victims and perpetrators of abuse from a faith perspective. ARMS team members are experts in the field of domestic violence and faith-based domestic violence advocacy and provide training for others nationally and internationally.If you or someone you love is experiencing domestic violence, call the national domestic violence hotline number 800-799-7233, and reach out to ARMS for support here.SUPPORT His Heartbeat through Crown of Beauty Internationalhttps://www.crownofbeautyinternational.com/donateCONNECT with His Heartbeat and Crown of Beauty InternationalWebsite// Facebook//InstagramEmail: crownofbeautyinternational@gmail.comConnect with Sue Corl's Instagram//Facebook// WebsitePurchase Sue's Transformational Bible Studies and Devotionals on Amazon!Sue Corl's best-selling books: Crown of Beauty Bible Study, Broken But UndefeatedCrown of Beauty International: EMPOWERING WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD WITH GOD'S TRUTH!

What happens when the place meant to be a refuge becomes a source of silence—or worse, complicity—in the face of abuse? In this episode, we sit down with Diane Schnickels, certified counselor, domestic abuse advocate, and founder of Living Waters of Hope to talk honestly about domestic violence in the context of Christian faith. Together, we unpack the warning signs that distinguish abuse from everyday conflict, and explore the emotional and spiritual toll it takes on a woman's heart—especially when shame, confusion, or a sense that she somehow “deserved it” cloud the truth. We examine how a distorted interpretation of Biblical submission can deepen the trauma, keeping women trapped in harmful relationships under the guise of obedience or faithfulness. But the heart of God is not one of control or oppression. Through compassionate insight and Scriptural clarity, we point toward the hope, dignity, and freedom the Bible actually offers women walking through abuse, and how the Church can become a place of safety, healing, and truth.
