Hear Me, See Me Podcast with Rachel Williams, founder of Stand Up To Domestic Abuse.


This one really got me !

Rachel's story is really horrific but so important because of its huge message of hope. Rachel's perpetrator was her husband of 18 years who after finally getting away from him shot her with a shotgun. I thought it could not get any worse until she made the final reveal to me which stopped me in my tracks.

Rachel has turned such a life changing experience into a way of helping others going through the same thing.

Here is more about the amazing Rachel.


After 18 years in an abusive relationship, Rachel was shot and severely injured by her violent partner in 2011.
