Christina McCaig bravely opens up for the 1st time in over 30yrs. This is in-fact a 1st Podcast in Australia in Veteran’s sharing their personal abuse/trauma stories that occurred in the 1980’/90’s. Before any equality was in place as there is no time frame, a time of much hidden abuse for females/males. With no where to go and no one to tell and if one did, it was shut down or ignored or one was told to put up, shut up and carry on.

We are hearing real truths for the first time in Australia in Leading the Way

Christina has come forward in the past, from a complaint to the Equal Opportunity Commission that resulted in Defence reviewing their policies on bullying and harassment. This was then followed by participation in two studies, one on the treatment of women in defence as well as a study into Abuse in the Defence Force. Christina's journey also included participation in the Defence Abuse Taskforce (DART) in 2012 and latterly two submissions to the Royal Commission into Veteran's Suicide. One of which spoke about the damaging impact of NDA's(Non Disclosure Agreement's) on already traumatised veterans and preventing diagnosis and management of mental health issues following service.

Being an advocate in blazing a new trail and in being the first paid female to be in a RAAF Band in Australia. Christina has spoken up and shared her deepest trauma’s to us here in this incredible show of when she was stalked and raped and she does so to have the story out for other women/men who have similar experiences, so they don’t feel on their own. For people to heal themselves - time to BREAK THE SECRECY.

Christina in Voicing to Heal in her own words in doing the podcast was life changing as she shared she was:

‘Definitely, no longer in the shadows of my fear’

Each time someone VOICES TO HEAL the past trauma has less of a hold

It takes TIME to heal to be able to speak, let alone publicly with others, yet it is time to Voice to Heal as to do so in such a space can free oneself to live: 'no longer in the shadows of my fear’.

Upcoming podcast’s with Veteran’s sharing are from 30yrs ago as abuse in the military is still happening today and it has taken this long to be able to speak up yet we see so much is still happening in this area and we do this for younger generations as to speak up is to take one's power back.

Each time someone VOICES TO HEAL the past trauma has less of a hold…
