This is Simone's story, don't let it be yours

Our first podcast focusing on the devastating impact of coervice control

In our first podcast we speak to her Karina, the sister of Simone Smith who was brutally murdered by her boyfriend. One year on we look at the devasting impact on her family and the dangers of coercive control. We explore how coercive control affects not only survivors but also the wider family network. Through expert insight and sensitive discussion, the episode examines patterns of control, isolation, and psychological harm—and the often-overlooked ripple effects on loved ones.
