Join us for a heartfelt episode where we explore the profound impact of domestic violence and the urgent need for prevention and protection. My guests, Nichole and Jim Schmidt from the Gabby Petito Foundation, share their heartbreaking journey following the tragic loss of their daughter, Gabby Petito, in 2021. They discuss the vital importance of recognizing the signs of domestic abuse, which affects one in four women and one in nine men, and the need for society to become more proactive in addressing this pervasive issue.

The Schmidts emphasize the critical role of education in schools to help young people understand what constitutes a healthy relationship and how to set boundaries. They stress the importance of teaching respectful relationships from a young age and providing children with the tools to navigate the complexities of social media and peer interactions. They also highlight the need for community support and training to create safe spaces for victims to seek help.

We share insights into the challenges faced by survivors, including the barriers to leaving abusive relationships and the societal misconceptions that often blame victims. They call for greater awareness and legal reform to address issues like coercive control and strangulation, which are often overlooked but incredibly dangerous.

Join us as we delve into the foundations' advocacy work and their mission to change the narrative around domestic violence, offering hope and resources to those in need.
