Finding yourself

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

samedi 12 septembre 2026 • Durée 42:25

One of the most profound and least talked-about impacts of domestic and family violence is the loss of self. Gradually, through control, fear, shame, and ongoing disruption, many victim-survivors find themselves becoming a shadow of who they once were and often do not realise it until the fog begins to lift. In this episode, Jo Mason shares an honest conversation with Elizabeth, a victim-survivor about the experience of losing yourself to abuse, and the long, non-linear journey of finding your way back. Together they explore what identity loss looks like from the inside. Hypervigilance, over-explaining, the inability to be present, engineered friendships, the quiet erosion of joy, and the steps that helped them begin to reconnect with who they truly are. This episode is a little different from the others in this series. It is more spontaneous, raw, and reflective. And there is so much power in that. This podcast is proudly brought to you by Verdella, the online domestic and family violence recovery programme designed to support victim-survivors in practical and meaningful ways, helping people reclaim empowerment, regain motivation, and plan their next steps with confidence. Verdella is available through licensing partnerships with employers and community service organisations committed to supporting recovery and wellbeing. Visit verdella.com.au to learn more.

Reclaiming Career

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

samedi 5 septembre 2026 • Durée 27:33

Domestic and family violence does not stay behind closed doors. It follows people to work, affecting focus, confidence, attendance, relationships with colleagues, and career progression. For many victim-survivors, the workplace is both a lifeline and a place of quiet struggle. In this episode, Jo Mason is joined by Elizabeth, a victim-survivor who experienced DFV while working in a senior role. Elizabeth shares how the violence shaped her working life in ways she could not always name at the time, and how she found her way back to herself, her confidence, and her career. This podcast is proudly brought to you by Verdella, an online domestic and family violence recovery programme designed to support victim-survivors in practical and meaningful ways, helping people reclaim empowerment, regain motivation, and plan their next steps with confidence. Verdella is available through licensing partnerships with employers and community service organisations committed to supporting recovery and wellbeing. Visit verdella.com.au to learn more. In This Episode

How DFV affects performance, confidence, and connection at work
The role of hypervigilance, shame, and self-isolation in the workplace
Why the workplace can be both the only safe place and the hardest place to show up
What Elizabeth did to begin her recovery, including counselling, community, and learning to trust herself again
The role of one trusted colleague and why informal support matters as much as formal policy
What workplaces can do beyond policies and awareness days
Elizabeth's two pieces of advice for anyone struggling at work as a result of DFV

A Note on Hannah Clark In this episode, Elizabeth references the Hannah Clark tragedy. Hannah Clark and her three children were killed in Brisbane in 2020 by her estranged husband. Her parents, Lloyd and Sue, have since become fierce advocates for change, and Hannah's story has had a profound impact on awareness and action on domestic and family violence across Queensland and nationally. Hannah's legacy continues to shape the conversation. Resources Mentioned in This Episode Please note: Some services listed below are specific to Queensland.

Friendship

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

samedi 22 août 2026 • Durée 24:39

Domestic and family violence does not just damage the primary relationship - it can quietly dismantle a person's entire social world. Through isolation, coercive control, and the weight of shame, friendships may fade, family connections may fracture, and survivors can emerge feeling utterly alone. In this episode of Rise and Reclaim, Jo Mason explores the real impact DFV has on social confidence and connection and why rebuilding those relationships, one small step at a time, is not only possible but deeply healing.

Joined by Kris, a victim-survivor, advocate, and what Jo describes as "walking sunshine", this episode is an honest, warm, and practical conversation about how to find your people again after everything has changed.

In this episode:

Why isolation is one of the most common tactics of coercive control and how it happens gradually, almost invisibly
Why shame keeps survivors hidden long after they leave and why that shame belongs to the person who chose to use violence, not the person who experienced it
How trauma changes social confidence and why that is a nervous system response, not a personal failing
Jo's own experience of emerging from DFV as a "one-woman island" and how she rebuilt her social world step by step
Why rebuilding connection does not have to be a big leap and why small moments of safety, repeated over time, are where healing actually happens
Why not every friendship survives trauma and why that grief is real, valid, and part of recovery
How safe, healthy friendships can become part of the recovery itself
Kris's story cut off quickly, isolated for a long time, and how she found her way back through DV support groups, one kind person at a time
Why social awkwardness after trauma is completely normal and why confidence is usually rebuilt through reconnecting, not before it

Practical tips from this episode:

Start with one trusted person and keep it low pressure. A phone call, a coffee, a short visit
Consider joining a support group or community activity. Meeting others with shared experience can be deeply validating and a genuine source of new friendship

Confidence

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

jeudi 13 août 2026 • Durée 58:57

Domestic and family violence does not just leave physical marks. One of its most lasting and least talked about impacts is what it does to a person's confidence. Their self-worth, their trust in their own judgement, their sense of who they are. In this episode of Rise and Reclaim, Jo Mason is joined by Mel, a confidence and communication expert, and Tess, a victim-survivor and powerful advocate, to explore what it really means to rebuild confidence after DFV. How to get there, one step at a time. Warm, practical, and full of wisdom, this episode will make you feel less alone and more hopeful about the road ahead. In this episode:

How DFV erodes confidence slowly over time and why it does not simply return when the relationship ends
Why rebuilding confidence is not about becoming a different person but reconnecting with who you always were
Jo's personal experience of rebuilding confidence step by step after leaving her DFV situation
The power of journaling and looking back to see how far you have come
Mel's practical strategies for rebuilding confidence including self-care, micro-resets, hobbies, and the love file
How to identify subtle signs that your confidence has been affected, including diminishing language, over-apologising, and comparisonitis
Tess's extraordinary story from struggling to buy a dishwasher to standing in front of 500 people as a speaker and facilitator
Why it is okay to wobble and why asking for support is a sign of strength
How to challenge negative thoughts that were programmed into you during the relationship
The importance of setting boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and investing in yourself
How to support someone else who is rebuilding their confidence after DFV

Key tips from this episode:

Be kind to yourself: Focus on what you have control over, not what you do not
Prioritise self-care: Even five minutes a day doing something that brings you joy makes a difference
Start a love file: Collect kind words, compliments, and nice messages for the days when you need a reminder of your worth
Rediscover what brought you joy: If you cannot remember, think back to what you loved as a child
