Overcoming The Challenge of Domestic Abuse In Business.

Domestic abuse doesn’t have to destroy your business. It could make you stronger, and it could even be a springboard to a new venture.

We’re joined in the studio by Lea Fletcher, a survivor of domestic abuse, living in a women’s refuge and rebuilding her life and business.

Lea shares her domestic abuse and coercive control story, which started to kick off big time when she opened her business.

Often, starting a business can expose an underlying abuse problem as the abuser fears losing control as their partner meets new people, gains financial independence, confidence, and activities that take them away from the relationship.

During the show we hear about her experiences and recognise when it’s actually abuse, which isn’t always as easy as it sounds; what the warning signs are, and some ideas for how to respond.

Joining host Sian Murphy in the studio today is Laura Lawrence, Laura Lawrence Marketing, Jackie Groundsell, founder of 1230 The Women’s Company and Nina Kristoffersen, Producer, Director and Star of the West End Show The Billie Holliday Story.
