Anthony Cincotta joins us to share the experiences of abuse and neglect that he experienced as a child, and how they have shaped through adulthood and into the person he wanted and needed when he was a child. Anthony is so wonderfully articulate and provides some amazingly hard hitting analogies that touch the soul. Thank you so much Anthony for sharing your story, for being so open and vulnerable and for leaning into what it really means to be a man.

What an amazing human and chat!

Author, Journalist, Writer and Editor Nicole Madigan joins Host Madeleine Heather to talk about her book 'Obsession, A Journalist and victim-survivor's investigation into stalking. This discussion is so compelling and amazing, and shines a light on the many levels that stalking can impact a life. The years of stalking that Nicole endured was relentless and debilitating. Utilising this experience alongside her Journalist skills, she was able to deep dive into the psychology behind stalking behaviours.

This is such a great listen, THANK YOU NICOLE

Jordyn Gray, a former Airforce Officer who was sexually assaulted on base by a colleague, shares her story with Madeleine. This goes into life on base, the assault and subsequent processes that ensued as a response. This is Part 3 of a multi part series with Jordyn, and she goes into so much detail about her experience which is so invaluable, as stories from members of the Australian Defence Force rarely are able to or do share their experiences of being victimised.

Jordyn has since started the Athena Project which is Veteran-Survivor founded support group for women veterans and military spouses who are survivors of SGBV. Please connect with Jordyn or the Athena Project via the below links!

Matt joins Madi to discuss the sexual abuse he endured as a child at the hands of a Scout leader, the subsequent years of coping, healing and moving through to court system. As well as how we can support Matt v Scouts in his fight for justice now.

Despite Matt’s abuser pleading guilty to charges of child sexual abuse, Matt is now facing bankruptcy for trying to hold Scouts NSW to account. Matt needs your help to continue his legal battle with Scouts NSW.

Matt needs your support so other survivors can seek justice too.

A win for Matt would set an important precedent that survivors could rely upon when seeking compensation from the organisations that failed to protect them from child sexual abuse. The costs order would be overturned, and all donated funds will be paid to other charities and organisations which support victims of sexual abuse.

This was a truly amazing conversation, one that was so insightful and that will go so many a feeling of comfort to listen to, as so man will hear themselves in this.

Madi is joined by Psychologist, AHPRA Board Approved Supervisor, March4Justice Director, Feminist and many other things Anastasia Sagris-Desmond! This is a really engaging discussion on all things system and advocacy related. We both get incredibly heated as we talk about ways we can see change happening, what we believe may be options to proceed and how justice is not all the common for so many.

This was such an amazingly engaging conversation and I hope Anastasia joins us back again on the show to chat all things advocacy in the future!!
