Hi friends!

Welcome back to another episode of the podcast, this is the final episode (for now) in this little series that I have been working on about abuse and the red flags, warning signs, impact, and this week on how it can be rebuilding relationships, some DO's and DON'Ts for supporting someone who has been through an abusive relationship.

In the near future I am planning on doing an episode on its own about Claires law, accessing it and what information is avaliable however doing these episodes has weighed a bit heavy on me - I have a bit of a life update next week and then some reaction content I filmed a few weeks ago.

I hope you continue to enjoy the ever-changing content of the podcast, and if you do consider leaving a follow and support the channel. It would mean a lot to me.

Below the chapters is also some places who offer support in the UK, but also globally and at the end of each of these episodes I have some support resources listed within the videos too.

Videos and links used within the episode:
