In this inspiring episode of Voices of Change, we speak with Jaymee Morrison, a Sunshine Coast business owner of Town, and domestic violence survivor who bravely shares her story of abuse that began at one of the most dangerous times she left the relationship.

Jaymee opens up about the often-overlooked reality of post-separation violence — the fear, the trauma, and the resilience it took to reclaim her life. But this is not just a story of survival — it’s one of growth, healing, and refusing to be defined by her darkest chapter.

Today, Jaymee stands not just as a survivor, but as a thriving woman, business leader, and advocate for change. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that your past does not define your future.

In this deeply moving episode of Voices of Change, Emily Burton, a Sunshine Coast business owner, shares her story of surviving domestic violence as a teenager, publicly for the very first time.

Emily opens up about the hidden nature of abuse in young relationships, the warning signs she didn’t recognise at the time, and the emotional toll that carried into her adult life. Her courage in revisiting these memories isn’t just about healing — it’s about helping others see they are not alone, and that there is life, strength, and success after survival.

This is a powerful reminder that domestic violence doesn’t always look the way we expect — and that speaking out can be the first step toward freedom.

This is more than a podcast—it’s a movement for awareness, empowerment, and change.

In the premiere episode of Voices of Change, we sit down with Kelli Martin, Owner and Managing Partner of KLM Solicitors, a talented and respected solicitor, business leader and fierce advocate for survivors of domestic violence. Kelli shares her professional insight into the legal challenges survivors face, but also speaks from the heart about her connection to one of the most devastating cases in recent Australian history — the tragic story of Hannah Clarke and her children.

With honesty and compassion, Kelli reflects on her time supporting Hannah, how that experience has shaped her advocacy, and why Hannah’s legacy must fuel urgent reform and community action.

This episode is a powerful reminder of the lives behind the headlines, and the critical importance of early intervention, education, and a justice system that truly protects.
