WITH YOUR HOST AMY-LEE FARR - FOUNDER MBAU
Welcome to It Stops With Me, the show that is not afraid to talk about the challenging topics relating to Domestic Violence. Your host, Amy-Lee Farr, will talk about the definitions of DV and what Domestic Violence has taught me.
I'll discuss the different types of DV, such as language and how important your words are. However, we'll only scratch the surface today, but at least we will start the conversation.
Remember to head to our website for all of the show notes and links or discounts mentioned in today's show.
Also, I wanted to mention how much It Stops With Me means to the community from the love pouring in from our listeners. Over the past few weeks, we have had some stones thrown our way. However, we won't stop bringing this message to you; we won't stop when challenges arise again.
We can't, and we won't.

Domestic and family violence includes different types of abuse. A person doesn’t need to experience these types of abuse to be a crime under the law.
The abuse can consist of:
In this show, I’d like to focus more on Violent vs Nonviolent behaviour. Violent versus nonviolent behaviour The Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs listened to many women who survived domestic and family violence and documented their stories. They found women experienced some common abusive behaviours. The most common behaviours and tactics are noted in the Power and Control Wheel.
We have created two lists. The first one describes the violent actions used by domestic and family violence perpetrators to gain power and control over their victims.
The second list shows the nonviolent behaviours of a healthy relationship where the aim is equality.
If you’d like to answer yes or no to the first and second list, then compare your lists to discover what is missing or possibly being abused in your relationship.
You both may not even realise what is happening, and this is a good reflection exercise to check in with yourself every few months...

Not the things people may assume, DV has taught me a whole spectrum of learnings, breaking me down to absolute ashes from a bush fire to rising up out of those ashes to become better and brighter than I was before.
Each time though - I would be attracted to another type of perpetrator. The journey became more of a journey of discovering the types of abuse I would now accept.
As a child, you have to accept it all, right? - You don’t have a choice to stop the conflict or start it, nor can you stop the violence or escape it.
Is this your life story? Year after year, you make the same resolutions, weight loss goals, have the same parties, make the same old jokes, rant on the same old stuff, complain about the same old job, and get the same paycheque.
The same year is running over and over again like a broken record.
Have you ever stop and question yourself, "When is all this gonna stop?" "When am I going to live the life that I deserve finally."
There are only two ways about it. To continue the same plot or to completely rewrite your storey this new year.
But just imagine for a while...
That, my friend, is the person you need to be to live the life that you've imagined.
But to be that version of yourself is a journey that not many people want to walk.
But just between you and me, I can tell you that it is possible to achieve that, and it's easier than you'd think.
What I'm about to reveal to you will contain the strategy you need to completely transform yourself into your "ideal version" and live the life of your dream.
The question is, are you willing?
But since you're here reading this, I know you're one of the rare few people who are hungry to transform your life.
So without further a due...Allow me to introduce you to True You, Women's Virtual Workshop. This is an entirely self-paced course. Having a dedicated Facebook group of people like yourself to support you.
