An Inside Job with Rose A podcast for emotionally sensitive people in midlife and life transition who feel like they've lost connection with themselves. If your outer life looks 'fine' but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly unsure who you are anymore, this space is for you. This podcast explores emotional healing, intuition, identity shifts, and spiritual awakening in a grounded, human way. No performance. No spiritual bypassing. Just honest conversations about what it means to come back to yourself after years of holding everything together - for work, family, or life itself. Through intuitive insight, tarot, and reflective storytelling, Rose guides you through the quiet unraveling that often happens in midlife, and the process of rebuilding a more authentic inner alignment. This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with who you already are beneath everything you've had to carry. more

This is the story that starts where others end. After the headlines fade. After the crisis hotline call ends. After you walk out of the shelter doors. When survivors face the brutal, yet hope-filled work of rebuilding from scratch. We know that leaving an abusive relationship can cost everything. Your home. Your money. Your job. Your kids. Your health. The life you thought you'd have. Putting the pieces back together can take years, sometimes a lifetime. And what comes next is rarely discussed, poorly understood and absolutely critical. Recovering from domestic abuse and family violence. It's not just about surviving, but thriving. There's No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing reveals the innovative programs across Australia looking beyond the immediate crisis. This season, meet the mother rediscovering joy with her children after their perpetrator robbed them of it for years, the survivor turning her pain into a career to help others escape and the local heroes building safe houses to create spaces where women can finally experience 'this huge sense of freedom'. For the first time, watch these powerful discussions on video or listen as audio. Hosted by Sally Spicer and available wherever you get your podcasts.

Health professionals are in a unique position to identify and respond to family violence. They're able to quickly establish trust and rapport with patients seeking treatment for injuries or medical conditions resulting from family violence. Yet some victim-survivors have found that when they've presented to hospital, their experiences of family violence were minimised, medicalised or, worse yet, they were inadvertently silenced. This Western Health podcast series If only someone had asked explores the issue of family violence: what it is and why it occurs; how to identify it when we see it; and how we as a health sector can respond. We'll hear from women with lived experience of family violence as well as community and health professionals working to strengthen responses to family violence.  Some of what we cover is harrowing, but there's hope too. We can make a difference. We can be that someone who asked. Who showed compassion. Who believed. Who provided someone in danger with what might be that first important step towards safety. more
