  • Trigger warning: domestic violence and mental health


    When it comes to domestic violence, no two situations are the same. That is why it can be so hard to understand from the outside what exactly is going on. We might look at someone driven and successful and find it impossible to believe they could end up in such a situation, but there can be all kinds of factors that influence self worth and affect a person’s ability to break free. For Emily-Jayne Sarrof multiple instances of burn out played a big role in her story.

    Emily-Jayne is a Graduate of Architectural Design, Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach, Business Mentor, social media figure, host of the Empower with Em Podcast, and 6 figure business owner. She is an expert in all things creative design and leverages this to help business owners scale through elevating their branding and marketing.

    In this episode she shares:

    -      The initial burn out she experienced

    -      The burnout she experienced from the job she'd taken to help stop burn out

    -      How domestic violence entered her life because of the burn out

    -      What she did wrong in hustling for her business

    -      What made her realise she had bad burn out

    -      Why she wouldn’t have listened to people warning her before she burnt out

    -      The moment that made her realise she was in a dv situation

    -      How a dog park helped heal her to the point of freeing herself

    -      The big impact her overseas travel had on her

    -      The importance of Defining Non-Negotiables in Life and Business

    -      How changing her belief system has helped her

    -      What does life look for her now


    Key Quotes

    “What was meant to become a journey for me to recover from burn out, became a journey to even deeper burn out.”

    “I remember saying to myself I don’t love this person, I can’t be with this person, and yet I didn’t leave

    “Ignoring the signs of needing rest is counter productive to the goals I want to be working towards in my business.”

    Trigger warning: Domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health


    While abuse within the family is something we have discussed on this podcast, one topic we have not covered as much, which often goes hand in hand, is the abandonment many children go through in this experience.

    Dante Amato is renowned in the Personal Development space for the deeply nurturing and transformational spaces she holds. She is a Business Mentor, Transformational Life Coach, Spiritual Guide and Energy Practitioner. But besides being a coach, Dante is a woman who has walked the path of trauma and triumph, gaining valuable insights that fuel her mission to help others.

    From an early age she experienced abandonment, abuse, manipulation and trauma which extended far into her life. As an adult she has done a loooot of healing and work, but her story is one that I think will resonate with a lot of people.

    In this episode she shares:

    Her experience of being abandoned by her mum as a childThe experience of spending time with her unstable mother as a childHer experience with domestic abuse in her mother’s homeHow her brother was manipulated and let down by their motherHow her relationship with her husband helped herWhat happened when she was diagnosed with infertilityWhat her journey to heal was likeThe thing that kept her going through recovery when things got really hardHow she developed her voice in adulthoodThe way she was able to work through her angerWhat she is doing now to help others

    Key Quotes

    “I had to completely cut my mother off. Really intentionally and energetically remove her from my life.”

    “The constant thought that I had was that I just need to do everything that I can to make her love me.”

    “When bad things happened, we would never ever speak about them.”

    For many of us reading and writing seems pretty common place. So much so that we might not even consider what it must be like to navigate our modern world without an ability to read and write.

    Graham Neville dropped out of school in year 10 and ever since, he navigated he world with a very minimal ability to read and write up until his 50’s. For his entire life he hid this from the world, sharing his secret with only a select few.

    But with covid lockdowns and the world increasingly moving online he realised he had to make a change, but even he couldn’t have predicted the massive effect this move would have on his life.

    -      His early struggles with reading and writing

    -      What his life was like without reading and writing

    -      How he hid is inability to write and read

    -      Why the fear of getting found out was so serious for him

    -      How he finally took the step to change things

    -      how doing the course got him on tv

    -      The scary experience of being in Sydney with no support for weeks

    -      The surprising support he received

    -      The avenues and opportunities he has gotten since

    -      The huge change in his self confidence


    Key Quotes

     

    “The fear was overwhelming.”

     

    “When it came to reading and writing I just delegated.”

     

    “The first book I read was cat in the hat, and now I'm reading the barefoot investor.”

    Trigger warning; domestic violence

    It’s so often the case that one trauma can result in an entirely different one down the track.

    That is the case for Marleen Mour, a 38yr old single mum who ran away from Egypt and an unwanted engagement at age 19 to build her life in Australia.

    She battled obesity, binge eating and self-loathing for decades before she finally discovered the power of self love for Permanent weight loss and lost 49kg/ 108lbs which she’s kept off for 13 years now, even after becoming a mum.

    Today she’s helped over 1,000 women of all ages to Permanently lose weight by healing their relationship with food, their bodies and themselves.

    In this episode she shares:

    -      Why her mum took her children and escaped to Australia for 4 years

    -      How her difficult home life created emotional eating for her

    -      The huge opportunity that helped her finance her escape

    -      How her family repeatedly attempted to prevent her escape

    -      How she managed to make it to Australia with $100 cash

    -      Why her eating problems continued and grew after she moved to Australia

    -      The climactic moment that she realised how badly she was treating herself

    -      The journey she went on to process her emotions rather than eat them,

    -      How her journey has evolved to a point where she helps others with their emotional eating

    -      The tools and strategies she point in place to manage her emotional eating


    Key Quotes

    “I thought I'd left the abuse behind but here I was abusing myself”

    “The night of my flight my mum dead bolted the doors and took the keys until my flight took off without me.”

    “We think we're unhappy because we're overweight but really we’re overweight because we're unhappy.”

    Trigger warning,: domestic violence


    We all know I am obsessed with discussing resilience on this podcast and the many ways it can show up.

    One area we haven’t really covered though is the challenge of redefining ourselves in Mid Life when we can go through some of the biggest changes of our lives. And overcoming those changes can take some real resilience.

    Jo Clark is one of those really resilient people who has not only gone through it, but is now helping others to do the same. Jo's life once moved at breakneck speed. She juggled the demands of work, family, and keeping everything running smoothly. She guided her children through school, cared for dying parents, and coped with their loss. After decades of teaching, she hit burnout while also navigating the challenges of perimenopause. And amidst it all, Jo and her family moved to a new town. Now, all of her inner transformation work, decades of teaching experience, studies and mentoring expertise have all led her to create a heart-led business that supports women through this phase of life.

    In this episode she shares:

    -       Her childhood experiences of domestic violence

    -       What it was like living on the land in remote Australia

    -       The challenge of transitioning from the land to a different lifestyle

    -       Her experience with empty nest syndrome and Resilience

    -       Why Midlife is a time for reflection and re-evaluation of one's values and life choices.

    -       How grief can be multi-layered and complex, and it can impact different aspects of life


    Key Quotes

    "Open conversations about domestic violence are crucial"

    "Experiences of adversity can shape a person's resilience”

    Grief is a nuanced and varied thing can hits everyone differently and often in unexpected ways. One person who knows about this is Katie Rössler. In late 2018, her life came to a halt. Her mother died unexpectedly, and the following year, she experienced two miscarriages while trying for a third child. This led to burnout, and relationship struggles as she work through parts of her life not turning out the way she’d hoped.

    The moment she found out about her mother’s death when she lived overseasThe pregnancy losses she experienced in the year after her mums deathHer realisation about grief after her experiencesThe different kinds of griefHow journaling helped her through her griefWhat can happen when you hold grief inTools for grounding yourself from your grief when you are not in a safe spaceHow different people will and wont be able to help us with our griefWhat she suggests to do to get back to friends and people after you have retreated into your griefHow she suggests you can get people to accept their grief and take supportHer advice for how people can take the first steps to embracing and working with their grief

    Key Quotes

    Trigger warning: Domestic Violence

    Imagine joining the police force to save lives and make a difference, only to get so bogged down in bureaucracy and rules that you are unable to do anything when called out to a suspected domestic violence incident.

    Now imagine that the woman who called you out is found dead 6 months later.

    That’s the experience of Jamie Pultz, who left the police force not long afterwards and went on to launch the podcast Beenham Valley Road to investigate the death of Kirra McLoughlin.

    In this episode Jamie shares:

    How he got into the policeThe hardest parts about being in the policeThe time he was called out to Kirra’s homeHow it felt after he was unable to do anythingHow he got into starting the podcastWhy it’s so hard to prove psychological and other damage in suspected domestic abuse situationsOne of the positives that is helping with domestic violenceThe challenges he had in doing the podcastThe challenge of pushing for a coronial inquestHow his life has changed with podcastingWhat we should be doing to combat domestic violenceThe anxious thoughts he had about the whole podcastHow he managed his self doubt

    Key Quotes

    “My mentor shouldn’t have been a mentor.”

    “Legally we did the right thing, but morally you feel like, if we could turn back the clock what could we have done?”

    “I've seen the system work and I've seen the system fail and in my short time in the police there was a lot of arse covering going on.”
