Hi empowered warriors, 

This week's podcast is a FEMPOWER podcast with my girl Sian @alchemy.au (instagram). 

We thought this topic was very relevant especially, during COVID-19 pandemic. 

We talk about what is loneliness, our experiences with this, the triggers, how we overcome this and what the difference between being lonely and alone. 

So many people have put their hands up and said they have been extremely lonely during COVID-19, and we want to give you some insights and advice that you ARE NOT ALONE.

We all experience this emotion from time to time. Some more than others. 

Sian break's down her personal story with mental health issues and how this has affected her and nearly her own life. 

I also talk about my domestic violence experience, when I felt more lonely in that relationship than being single and "alone". 

You can find myself and Sian on Instagram at @empowerwithash @alchemy.au

Hi empowered warriors, 

This month is "domestic violence awareness month" and I am dedicating this last month in October to this. 

I want to talk to you about the different types of domestic violent abuse...

WHY?

Because as a survivor of domestic violence, I was completely UNAWARE of the types of abuse I was enduring. 

It wasn't until I was out that I realised what happened to me...

There are 11 types of domestic violent abuse... I personally experience 8/11 of different types of abuse... 

We need to be aware.
We need to be informed.
We need to take action because on average 76 women die each week from domestic violence... 

Remember, empowered people need to be the change you want to see in the world and in your life.
