If you're trying to protect your children while navigating an abusive ex, this podcast is for you. Because leaving the relationship didn't end the abuse, and no one prepared you for what came next.


The Rising Beyond Podcast is for protective mothers navigating the overwhelming reality of sharing children with someone who continues patterns of manipulation, coercive control, or emotional abuse after separation. Join Sybil Cummin, licensed professional counselor, who has spent the last decade helping survivors and their children navigate this incredibly difficult chapter. Every week, we share trauma-informed education, nervous system insights, protective parenting strategies, and honest conversations about family court, post-separation abuse, and healing, so you can feel more confident, more grounded, and better equipped to protect both your children and yourself.


Whether you're in the middle of family court, struggling with parenting alongside someone who continues patterns of control, or simply trying to become the parent you want to be after everything you've survived, you'll find validation, practical guidance, and hope here.

    Ep 227: That Thing That Makes Your Shoulders Drop? It Matters
    2026/10/28

    What makes your shoulders drop?

    Maybe it’s hearing a familiar voice. Pulling on your favorite sweatshirt. Sitting in the one chair where your body seems to soften. Spending a few quiet minutes in your car. Or being with someone who doesn’t require you to explain, perform, or carefully monitor their mood.

    When you are healing from coercive control, especially while dealing with post-separation abuse, felt safety can seem unreachable. How are you supposed to feel safe when litigation, threats, harassment, financial abuse, or one message from your former partner can derail your entire afternoon?

    In this solo episode, Sybil explains that felt safety is not about convincing yourself that everything is safe or pretending that the harm has ended. It is about creating and noticing more moments when it is safe to feel safe.

    Sybil explores three different places where we can experience felt safety:

    • Inside: the sensory experiences and small rituals that help you reconnect with your body
    • Outside: the spaces, routines, and environmental cues that allow your nervous system to soften
    • In between: the relationships in which you can simply be, without rehearsing, monitoring, or defending yourself

    This is not another assignment or an elaborate self-care routine. You do not need to wake up at 5:30 a.m., meditate, journal, do yoga, and take a cold plunge. The smallest moments count.

    A warm drink. A familiar podcast. A cozy bed. A safe friend. A few minutes beside your child. A place where you can breathe.

    Each moment gives your nervous system another piece of evidence: In this moment, I am safe enough to soften.

  • Ep 226: When the Survivor Is Also a Police Officer with Dottie Davis

    Ep 226: When the Survivor Is Also a Police Officer with Dottie Davis
    2026/10/27
    What happens when a police officer is experiencing domestic violence—and the person harming her is also in law enforcement?Dottie Davis served with the Fort Wayne Police Department for 32 years and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief. But her rank, training, and professional expertise did not protect her from abuse behind closed doors.In this episode, Dottie joins Sybil to discuss the realities of domestic violence within law enforcement, the consequences survivors may face when they speak out, and why professional competence should never be mistaken for safety.Dottie shares how another female officer helped her name what she was experiencing as domestic violence—and how the systems around her responded after her abuser attempted to strangle her.Together, Sybil and Dottie discuss:Why domestic violence affects people across every profession, income, and education levelHow both abusers and survivors may maintain a very different public imageThe culture surrounding domestic violence within law enforcementWhy professions associated with power and authority can provide additional tools for coercionHow stalking may involve location-sharing apps, AirTags, drones, cameras, and professional access to informationWhy sexual assault must be assessed as part of domestic violence investigationsThe difference between consensual safety practices and technology-enabled controlWhy lethality and safety assessments must be repeated as circumstances changeHow seemingly minor protective-order violations can communicate continued access and controlWhy survivors should continue reporting violations even when they feel dismissedThe importance of documenting patterns rather than judging each event in isolationWhy lasting change requires collaboration among survivors, advocates, law enforcement, and mental health professionalsDottie also addresses a painful bind many survivors encounter: If they do not report every violation, others may assume they were not truly afraid. If they do report, they may be characterized as overreacting.Her message is clear: Keep calling. Each report creates a record, and circumstances and lethality risk can change quickly.Dottie Davis is an internationally recognized speaker, domestic violence survivor, and retired Deputy Chief who served with the Fort Wayne Police Department for 32 years. Today, she trains law enforcement and mental health professionals in crisis response, domestic violence, suicide prevention, and sexual assault. She is also an expert witness and the author of STRANGLED: A Survivor’s Plea to Men Who Look the Other Way.Content note: This episode includes discussion of domestic violence, strangulation, sexual assault, stalking, homicide, and institutional responses to abuse.Connect w/ Dottie: https://dottiedavis.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dottie-davis-7285b97/ STRANGLED: A Survivor’s Plea To Men Who Look The Other WayAsk Me Anything - https://mailchi.mp/risingbeyondpc/ama2026Happening November 2nd at 12pm MST, November 3rd at 2pm MST and November 7th at 9am MSTPlease leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.

  • Ep 225: You Are More Than What Happened to You with Anne Paphitis

    Ep 225: You Are More Than What Happened to You with Anne Paphitis
    2026/10/14

    When you are still dealing with coercive control or post-separation abuse, healing can feel impossible. How do you rebuild a life when the abuse has not completely ended?

    In this episode, I’m joined by Anne Paphitis, a survivor and life coach joining us from Ireland. We talk about how she found moments of joy while she was still in her marriage and continued rebuilding herself through the fallout that followed.

    Anne shares the small but intentional choices that helped her remember she was more than what she was experiencing. From using her grandmother’s special glasses every day to trying new classes and reconnecting with creativity, she learned to create parts of her life that the abuse did not get to define.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Finding times when it is safe to feel safe
    • Creating a mental container for what you cannot address right now
    • Remembering who you are outside of the abuse
    • Using small rituals to bring beauty and meaning back into your life
    • Learning to trust your choices again
    • Trying new things without making every wrong fit mean something about you
    • Why healing does not require the abuse to disappear completely
    • The power of community and being around people who reflect the good parts of you back to you

    You are not only a survivor. Even if you are still living with the fallout, you can begin discovering who you are, what you enjoy, and what you want the next part of your life to include.

    About Anne:
    Anne Paphitis believes that life can be rebuilt, even after everything familiar has been stripped away. Born and raised in South Africa, Anne founded and ran a Cambridge school for young people who didn’t fit into mainstream education — students navigating anxiety, bullying, depression, and self-doubt. Watching them rediscover confidence, succeed academically, and later return to share their stories shaped her belief that transformation often begins when someone believes they are capable of more.

    After completing formal coaching training in 2019, Anne expanded her work to help adults navigate change, resilience, and personal reinvention. Having rebuilt her own life several times — from moving countries, falling in love with Ireland, selling her school, and taking on a new business venture — she brings a deeply personal understanding of uncertainty, courage, and starting again.

    Anne’s coaching focuses on resilience, midlife reinvention, emotional wellbeing, and finding purpose through practical, meaningful steps. As a podcast guest, she brings warmth, honesty, and curiosity to conversations about rebuilding confidence, embracing change, and taking the first small step toward a more fulfilling life.
