Today we’re joined by Rawson Kirkhope — a Navy veteran, childhood domestic violence survivor, and co-founder of VRTUS, a community-first gym.

When Rawson was 12 years old, he witnessed his father shoot his mother, trying to end her life. Despite the horrific violence and being on the run for a week, his father was only sentenced to 4 years in jail. This event left him with PTSD - something that he has had to learn to live with.

In this episode, Rawson shares what it was like to grow up never knowing whether your home was safe. We talk about what trauma does to your sense of identity, the complexity of loving someone whilst being simultaneously terrified by them, and how those early years shaped the man he would become.

If this topic is sensitive for you, please take care while listening. There is always help available and someone to talk to on 1800 RESPECT

We speak about:

• The reality of growing up around violence
• Always trying to be a ‘good’ kid to not escalate anything at home
• How kids who grow up around volatile parents can struggle with validation
• The justice system and having to testify against his own dad
• The complexities of PTSD and what it looks like in reality
• The strength of community around you
• Reshaping masculinity and how routine has really helped

Hey Lifers,

If you happen to hear any mic bumps or mouth sounds today, please message Britt Hockley directly. Laura and Keeshia are taking a stand against Britt’s anti-podcast-establishment trial.

Ben has gone home and Britt’s now in the first chapter of their long distance marriage. We speak about how ‘different’ our relationships feel pre and post marriage.

Both Delilah and Matt had birthdays over the weekend except Laura almost forgot. After having a crack at Matt last week for not realising how far along Laura’s pregnancy was, Laura had some making up to do!

Is it a ‘flex’ to sleep with a younger person?
Charlize Theron was on the Call Her Daddy podcast last week promoting her new movie ‘the old guard 2’. Charlize is 49, a mother of two, an Oscar-winner, and basically Hollywood royalty. When Alex Cooper asked her if she had any sex tips, she responded saying that she’d recently slept with a 26 year old and it was great!
Naturally, the internet had thoughts. Some people were cheering her on for owning her sexuality, others were very uncomfortable.
We ask if it’s a double standard because “if men did this, we’d be up in arms” and whether we are okay with that double standard or not.
