Recovery after domestic and family violence is not just about leaving. It is about rebuilding your confidence, finances, friendships, career, and sense of self. Rise and Reclaim is a podcast series dedicated to that journey.
In this opening episode, host Jo Mason introduces the series, shares what listeners can expect across the six episodes ahead and opens up about her own experience of leaving a domestic violence situation eleven years ago. She shares what the road to rebuilding looked like for her.
In this episode:
- What Rise and Reclaim is about and who it is for
- Why recovery after DFV touches almost every area of a person’s life, such as finances, confidence, identity, relationships, career, and wellbeing
- Jo’s personal story of leaving after eleven years and what she faced in those early days
- How to support someone else who is rebuilding after DFV
- Why recovery is not linear and why that is okay
- What is coming up in future episodes
