In this episode, we explore what family violence is, including behaviours people may not realise are family violence. We provide information for people thinking about leaving their partner or who have just separated, where there was family violence during the relationship, and discuss tools and options for keeping safe, including Family Violence Restraining Orders (FVROs).

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
