#159 From Bystanders to Warriors with Jo Cooper

In this powerful episode of the Healing Through Love Podcast, host Sharlene Lynch welcomes legal pioneer, advocate, and founder of The Good Warrior, Jo Cooper.

Jo’s landmark case (Cooper v The Owners – Strata Plan No 58068) forever changed Australian law—and her impact hasn’t stopped since. Now, Jo is on a mission to transform communities by moving them from passive observers to proactive changemakers.

This episode dives into how we can dismantle the bystander effect and instead foster cultures of courage, compassion, and intervention. Jo shares how building the skills and confidence to speak up can save lives and inspire collective healing.

She also explains how storytelling and music have become powerful tools in her advocacy work—helping turn trauma into transformation and fear into empowerment.

🎧 Tune in to learn how YOU can be part of the movement to turn silence into action.
