Hollie Gazzard was murdered by her former partner, in February 2014. Her father, Nick Gazzard felt strongly that something positive should come out of Hollie’s death and so created the Hollie Gazzard Trust and The Hollie Guard App. The App is a next generation smartphone app that provides enhanced levels of protection. In this episode, Nick and I talk about how much has happened in the last 10 years and how many people have been helped and supported through the Trust and App, since Hollie's death.

Little-Mouse Finds a Safe Place is a children's storybook designed to help professionals support children who have experienced and witnessed domestic violence and abuse, and also contains guidelines on the key issues and how to use the story with individuals and groups. I was so fortunate to talk to Ann in the latest episode of DIP in and out with Lucy. What children see, hear and experience through domestic abuse has a huge impact on them and their future. Ann has created a beautiful and informative book. There really is nothing like it out there.

"There's no one size fits all, all these small things that you might listen to here today might just guide you on another little path, add it to your toolkit and over time you might change situations, and your mindset and your thinking, perhaps." Join me and Sue while we navigate the complex world of divorce and children. Add domestic abuse to the mix, and it's a whole other situation....Intro and Outro Music:Look At Me Words & Music by P.J.

This episode is one the you weren't expecting - but it's a MUST watch. Alec shares his experiences around his mental health and how he turned his fears into the most magnificent gift anyone could receive. This episode is not about domestic abuse. But it does show how whatever the difficult situations we can find ourselves in, there is one thing that remains. Hope.

I cannot begin to explain how much I admire and respect Anna's philosophy on life. AND her Audacious And! Anna coaches cycle-breakers and change-makers, she's a trauma-informed coach for activists, survivors and supporters who want to create real change AND live a liberated and joyful life. This episode will resonate with so many of you - enjoy!
