Internationally-awarded domestic violence podcast There’s No Place Like Home returns for a third season, ahead of International Women’s Day 2025.
New host Tara Rae Moss shares the real stories of victim-survivors who fled violent relationships but still couldn’t escape their abusers. Sub-titled, After She Leaves, this series reveals the heightened risk of abuse after separation for victims of domestic-violence.
“It is all too common for our community to ask why a woman who has been abused didn’t ‘just leave’ – as though it’s that easy,” said executive producer Sally Spicer. “In this powerful third season of There’s No Place Like Home, listeners will hear affecting true stories that prove abuse often doesn’t end when a relationship does. It simply transforms.”
“In this season, FW continues our steadfast commitment to supporting victim-survivors to share their stories, in their own words. FW has been privileged to have worked with survivors for three years now. We are proud to be deepening our relationships with the family violence sector and our partner, CommBank Next Chapter.”
There’s No Place Like Home: After she leaves, was created by FW as part of their ongoing partnership with CommBank Next Chapter, a bank-wide commitment to help end financial abuse and support people on their road to long-term financial independence.
CBA’s Group Customer Advocate, Angela MacMillan said, “What we see is that financial abuse can be really isolating and frightening, as well as complex and often misunderstood. And because of this people may confuse acts of financial abuse with what could on the surface appear as an act of love or devotion”.
“By sharing these real experiences and stories first-hand from victim-survivors and experts, this podcast helps to reveal the ugly truth of financial abuse. We hope this helps more people to spot the signs of abuse as well as better understand how to help anyone they care about who could be experiencing it.”
