Announcing When Love Hurts, the podcast, hosted by Alison Epp and Jo Neill
When love hurts is a new podcast that busts down the many myths and misconceptions that exists around the topic of men’s violence against women in intimate relationships.
Jo and Alison speak with authors Karen McAndless-Davis and Jill Cory to tackle the realities of men’s abuse of women, shedding light on what abuse happens – and how we can help.
This podcast explores the abuse of women by men through women’s stories and expert insight. We break down what abuse really is—beyond physical violence—and look at its deep emotional, psychological, and societal impact. Designed for everyone, this series aims to build awareness, empathy, and strategies for healing.
