Podcasts about domestic violence awareness month

We're honored to welcome Nichole Schmidt to Toxic today — a friend of the pod and a fierce advocate for survivors, especially young survivors of dating violence. In 2021, her 22-year-old daughter, Gabby Petito, was murdered by her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, during what was supposed to be an idyllic cross-country van trip — and instead became a national tragedy. This past February, Netflix released American Murder: Gabby Petito, a docuseries featuring never-before-seen details about how Gabby's story unfolded. Ultimately, she became yet another preventable victim of dating violence, strangulation — and, yes, femicide. Just two weeks before her death, police in Moab, Utah, pulled the couple over after a witness saw Brian hit Gabby. Despite clear signs of abuse — and officers even identifying it as assault — Laundrie wasn't arrested. Instead, they named Gabby the primary aggressor and gave Brian a hotel room usually reserved for domestic violence victims. The incident laid bare just how much law enforcement — and society — still doesn't understand about abuser tactics. A little over a month later, Brian strangled Gabby to death in Wyoming. He later scribbled a confession in a notebook before dying by suicide — because, of course, accountability was never on his itinerary. Today, Nichole shares what life has been like since Gabby's death — and how she's working to keep her daughter's memory alive, one survivor at a time. We want to hear from you.

That Solo Life, Episode 294: National Days and Awareness Months and How to Manage in 2025   Summary: This podcast episode discusses the abundance of "national days" and how PR professionals and marketers should approach aligning their client initiatives with these events. The key points are: There is an overwhelming number of these "national days" which can become diluted and ignored by the public. These days can be divided into two categories: awareness/educational campaigns vs. marketing-driven events. For awareness months/days related to important causes, it can make sense to align content and messaging if it's relevant to the client's business. However, marketers should be cautious about aligning with more frivolous "national days" just for the sake of participation. The most important factor is whether the client's news, announcement, or content is truly newsworthy and valuable, regardless of whether it aligns with a designated national day or month. Forcing an announcement to fit a particular calendar event is not advised. PR professionals should set clear expectations with clients about which national days/months are worth aligning with versus when it may be better to simply focus on the strength of the news itself. In This Episode Are you overwhelmed by the never-ending list of national days, weeks, and months? From National Hot Dog Day to Domestic Violence Awareness Month, it feels like every moment in the calendar is claimed by something. But does your brand have to jump on every single one?  In today's episode, co-hosts Karen Swim, APR (Solo PR Pro) and Michelle Kane (Voice Matters) discuss how to strategically decide which awareness and marketing campaigns to align with (and when to pass). They share practical advice for PR pros, marketers, and business owners on how to cut through the clutter while staying authentic to your brand. What We Discuss in This Episode: The evolution of National Days and how their popularity has changed over time.  The difference between awareness campaigns that educate (e.g., Autism Awareness Month) versus marketing-driven moments (e.g., National Ice Cream Day).  Why staying true to your brand's mission is key when deciding whether to participate.  Evaluating client expectations and helping them decide if their campaigns align with specific days or months.  How doing something outside of a marketing or awareness month can sometimes help your message stand out.  Tips for advising clients on when their big news deserves attention at the right time.  Key Takeaways: Not every campaign is necessary. Assess whether a national day or awareness month is relevant and meaningful to your brand or clients before joining in.  Awareness vs. gimmicks: Distinguish between educational campaigns that offer real value and marketing "fun" that may not add much.  Timing is everything. Great news is great news, no matter what day you share it. Don't feel tied to these campaigns if they don't serve your goals.  Listener Reminder: We're not throwing shade at National Donut Day (a very worthwhile occasion, honestly!), but don't feel obligated to latch on to every trendy day in the calendar. Use these moments as tools—but only when they make sense for your brand!  Mentioned in This Episode: How to align content with National Days effectively without overwhelming your brand strategy.  Examples of when leveraging awareness months like Domestic Violence Awareness Month can reinforce your brand's values.  Special Invite: If you found value in today's conversation, we'd love for you to share this episode with your network! Whether via audio or on YouTube (yes, you can see our fabulous faces there too!), your support helps us bring more tips to PR and marketing pros like you. And don't forget to leave us a rating or review—we can handle it

TW: This episode discusses domestic violence.  In this special episode, we sit down with singer-songwriter, dancer, actress, and model FKA twigs to explore her journey of healing, resilience, and reclaiming self-worth. In 2020, twigs courageously went public with allegations of domestic violence against her ex-partner Shia LaBeouf. As her legal battle approaches, she reflects on her decision to seek justice and shares her thoughts on the upcoming trial, emphasizing the importance of holding men accountable, no matter their status or success.   Twigs offers profound insights into her experience as a survivor, shedding light on how emotional manipulation can consume one's entire psyche and leave lasting effects on both mind and body. She discusses the challenges of leaving an abusive relationship and the lifelong process of rebuilding trust and reclaiming every dimension of one's identity.  Released during the final week of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this conversation serves as a powerful call for empathy, accountability, and cultural change. Whether you're looking for inspiration or practical tools to navigate difficult relationships and your own healing journey, twigs' voice will resonate deeply—reminding us that recovery is not linear, but with time and self-compassion, it is possible. If you or someone you know has experienced domestic or sexual violence, help is available.

It could have really been anyone. It was just bad luck that I got a part in a film." - twigs  "It really takes time to learn how to be me again. And I can say now, me was and is great, so I really want to be me." - twigs  "I used to thrive out of fear ... But now I embrace the darker, artistic sides of myself. Life doesn't have to be all sparkles and rainbows — there's a balance." - twigs  "Blaming someone for being in an abusive relationship is like blaming them for getting hit by a car — it just happened to them." - Liz  SUPPORT MAN ENOUGH https://manenough.com/newsletter  https://manenough.com/books  https://boyswillbehuman.com  FOLLOW THE HOSTS Liz Plank https://instagram.com/feministabulous https://tiktok.com/@lizplank https://facebook.com/feministabulous https://twitter.com/feministabulous http://www.elizabethplank.com/ Jamey Heath  https://instagram.com/jamey_heath_ https://tiktok.com/@jameyheath https://twitter.com/jamey_heath_ https://facebook.com/jameyjaz http://www.jameyheath.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

As we close out the month of October, it's essential to shine a light on an issue impacting millions across the globe—domestic violence. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to recognize the profound impact domestic violence has on individuals and families and to support survivors in their journey to healing and freedom. The statistics are staggering: in the United States alone, nearly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men will experience severe intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Every minute, 20 people fall victim to physical abuse by an intimate partner—amounting to over 10 million individuals each year. These numbers represent real lives, with stories often hidden behind closed doors, filled with resilience, heartbreak, and bravery. Domestic violence isn't limited to physical harm; it includes emotional abuse, financial control, and psychological manipulation, all designed to keep victims isolated and powerless. Breaking free from these circumstances can feel impossible, yet many survivors do find the strength to leave, rebuild, and ultimately, to thrive. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this episode serves as a reminder of the need to support survivors, raise awareness, and educate ourselves on the realities that victims face. On this week's podcast, join me as I sit down with Executive Director Lisa Thiombiano, a survivor and advocate who shares her journey from victim to victor. Lisa opens up about the challenges survivors face, what people should understand about victims, and how one can thrive after abuse. She also shares invaluable insights on planning a safe exit and building a life of freedom and hope.

In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses Clergy Appreciation Month and closing out Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Dr. Mo encourages us to remember the emotional load that clergy carry and to consider being a healthy support for them. Many clergy cannot disclose some of the issues that burden them due to the sensitivity and confidentiality that is required as part of their ministerial work. Tune into this episode as we consider being in healthy relationships with our clergy by extending gestures such as offering to pay for a counseling session, telling them you're sorry about the hurt and abuse they experienced, and showing concern for them as humans with a high and heavy calling. Information for Dr. Gadson https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”:https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=allhttps://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1Follow us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/And-The-Church-Said-Podcast-106848090932637https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8Support And The Church Said:Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaidPayPal:  https://paypal.me/andthechurchsaid?locale.x=en_US.

Personal care is something we often take for granted, but imagine if you couldn't afford basic hygiene products like menstrual supplies, shampoo or toothpaste. For many survivors of domestic violence, this is a harsh reality as government assistance programs don't cover essential hygiene items and this lack of access has a significant impact on their ability to rebuild their life.-In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, host Jamie Truman speaks to founder of the Personal Care Foundation, Carol Freitas. Her personal experience fueled her passion to provide these basic items to women, men and children, but their efforts go beyond the physical — these products not only keep those in need clean and healthy, but help improve their mental health and employability.-Tune in to learn how you can support the Personal Care Foundation and their future plans for the community! Connect with Carol Freitas:WebsiteFacebookXInstagramLinkedInContact CarolConnect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: info@trumancharities.comThis episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/

As part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Kim and Kara finally get to talk with Kayla Hayes.  At just 25, Kayla Hayes is a passionate advocate, speaker, and author who embodies resilience. Having faced the challenges of childhood sexual abuse and teenage domestic violence, she made a powerful choice to transform her pain into purpose, embracing her scars as wings of strength. Kayla's story has resonated widely, earning features on Inside Edition, in Cosmopolitan Magazine, and on various national platforms dedicated to empowering survivors. Through podcasts, interviews, and impactful speaking engagements, she raises awareness about domestic violence and empowers others to reclaim their identities. A pivotal moment in Kayla's journey was the realization that her experiences did not define her; rather, they could be a source of strength. This insight drives her mission to inspire young people to heal from their pasts and see their scars as symbols of hope and resilience. She believes that by sharing our stories, we can create a supportive community that uplifts one another. Kayla's Call to Action: "Our scars, both physical and invisible, can become our wings, lifting us towards healing and empowerment. I just want to urge you to embrace your journey and wear your scars proudly, knowing they are symbols of resilience. If you or someone you know is struggling with the effects of abuse, I urge you to seek support and share your story because I believe that truly together we can create a community of healing and strength and to show the world that our past does not define us. Instead, we can propel us into a brighter, more powerful future." Learn more from Kayla: To discover more about Kayla's advocacy or to book a speaking engagement, visit sheriseswithkaylahayes.com.

A true crime collaboration with the insightful and kind, Nina Innsted, creator and host of the Already Gone podcast. Together we explore the intricate world of missing persons cases, the truth about the rise of disturbing social media scams exploiting missing persons, grim realities faced by families of missing and murdered loved ones, and the critical need to strengthen resources and data to tell the whole story. Nina covers The Great Lakes region on Already Gone so, as I do, I learned a bit about the area and, well, it is incredible (you can find me rabbit holing aboutthe phenomenon of Great Lakes' shipwrecks).As October marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month, our conversation takes a close look at the intersection of domestic violence and missing persons and the risks involved for people who are fleeing abusive situations and the need for discretion to protect them and their escape. We discuss the unique challenges for individuals leading non-traditional lifestyles, who are most vulnerable. We share important resources for anyone who may experience a missing person in their family or circle. With contributions from fellow podcasters and advocates, this episode is a compelling call to action for greater understanding and support in missing persons cases.

About this episode: In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act—the first comprehensive federal legislation to recognize the often-overlooked dangers of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other gender-based violence. In recognition of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, researchers Tiara Willie and Michelle Decker join the podcast to talk about the legislation's initial goals, why gender-based violence is still a neglected issue 30 years later, and how far we still have to go in truly protecting all women from violence. Guests: Tiara Willie is a Bloomberg Assistant Professor of American Health in mental health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a researcher in gender-based violence, mental health, and sexual health. Michele Decker is a Bloomberg Professor of American Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and is the founder and director of the Center for Global Women's Health and Gender Equity at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Did you know that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month? I hope you will join me to use the remaining weeks as a chance to educate yourself, spread awareness, advocate, and create visibility for this often under-discussed societal issue.  ⁠Donate to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: https://ncadv.org/⁠ Domestic violence (also known as intimate partner violence, battering, or spouse abuse) is a pattern of abusive behavior used in a relationship to gain control and power over an intimate partner. It happens to everyone across race, gender, socioeconomic status, education, and sexual orientation. Every minute, roughly 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. Every year in the United States, more than 10 million women and men become victims of domestic violence.  More women lose their lives to intimate partner violence than any other means. In the U.S. alone,⁠ more than 55 percent⁠ of murdered women are killed in relation to intimate partner violence. Nearly one million women have been shot by an intimate partner and have survived. Nearly 1 in 10 women (9.4%) in the US have been raped by an intimate partner in their lifetime. It is a persistent issue that finds victims feeling powerless and without means of support or escape. Most female victims of intimate partner violence were previously victimized by the same offender at rates of 77% for women ages 18 to 24, 76% for ages 25 to 34, and 81% for ages 35 to 49. Domestic violence continues to go unnoticed by many because it is underreported with only 52% of victims reporting the crime to the police in 2019. Sources: ⁠https://ncadv.org/⁠ ⁠https://www.thehotline.org/stakeholders/domestic-violence-statistics/⁠ ⁠https://www.dolanzimmerman.com/domestic-violence-statistics/⁠ What you can do this month to support victims and survivors:  Educate yourself. Read up on the issue. Share what you learn with others. Post on social media. Be brave. Be bold.  Learn about what to do if someone comes to you for support. I will drop a separate mini-sode on this issue.  Make a donation to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. You can visit them at https://ncadv.org/ and using the link in the show notes.  Don't just consume true crime for entertainment. A lot of the stories portrayed in our favorite documentaries and podcasts are sad examples of the terror that a lot of women around the country are faced with daily. Share what you consume and talk about the content and the stories with friends and on social media. Again, be brave.  Commit to sharing content on the topic all year long.  Thank you for listening. Please keep following my podcasts as I will be dropping more content through the month.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/breakupspod/support

Content warning: gender-based violence, abuse, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and rape. Alison Jones-Lockwood is a mother and victim advocate in Colorado. Her career in aiding survivors began years ago while she was in college, and continues to this day. Although her journey recently pivoted when she became Executive Director of the Rape Crisis Center for Northern Colorado, at the time of our recording she worked with EVAWI or End Violence Against Women International. The Broken Cycle Media team is grateful Alison was able to offer such a broad perspective of the advocacy arena, as well as a detailed account of what's coming next for EVAWI, as the organization works to change the criminal justice and legal landscapes for victims. Although the importance of advocacy work is always relevant, this conversation is especially timely considering October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Beverly Price reveals the invisible scars that complicate healing during and after divorce for abuse victims in this powerful Domestic Violence Awareness Month episode of Divorce & Beyond. Susan Guthrie sits down with Beverly Price, a divorce coach and advocate for domestic violence survivors, to uncover the harsh realities of how divorce can re-traumatize victims. Together, they explore how untrained divorce professionals and legal abuse can exacerbate the trauma of domestic violence. Plus, Beverly shares critical advice on creating a safety exit plan, building support systems, and why trauma-informed care is essential. Featured topics: The various ways divorce can re-introduce trauma for those already traumatized in their relationship Unintentional re-traumatization by professionals not versed in domestic violence and how to encourage victims to seek trauma-informed experts Understanding legal abuse and how abusers can continue to manipulate and control throughout the legal process The importance of trauma counseling to help victims process and heal from their experiences How to find a trauma-informed divorce coach and the impact of having the right support Navigating personal turmoil, regret, and shame while going through divorce after being victimized The necessity of creating a safe exit plan—especially because 70% of women are murdered when leaving an abusive relationship Golden nuggets: “There's a process that can happen that takes a person from being traumatized to then going through divorce and being re-traumatized. It's the action of, in some cases, facing the abuser, whether it's in mediation or whether it's in litigation. That in itself can be terrible.” “You didn't cause it. I've been working with a woman for almost a year to watch her get stronger and not blame herself. But it takes work because if you think about it, all the years that you were subject to it [the abuse], you're not going to flip a switch and all of a sudden feel confident and feel like it's not your fault. But it is the abuser's fault. He's not doing it to you. He's doing it for himself.” **************************************** About this week's special guest: Beverly Price Beverly Price, of Her Empowered Divorce, has helped thousands of women with her 30+ years' divorce coaching experience by providing knowledge, support, and insight to empower those going through the divorce process before, during and after.
