The Conversations of Hope Podcast

Welcome to Conversations of Hope – a podcast from the Escape to Better Foundation, created to support, uplift, and empower people impacted by domestic and family violence. Hosted by founder Karen Anderson, each episode shares real stories, practical guidance, and calm encouragement for anyone seeking safety, healing, and a way forward.

Each episode features grounded conversations with survivors, practitioners, community advocates, and services working on the frontline. From recognising red flags and rebuilding confidence to navigating systems and finding support, Conversations of Hope focuses on what helps in real life and how to take the next small step.

Supporting recovery, resilience, and informed choices
At the heart of this series is a belief that recovery is possible and that no one should face the journey alone. The stories and insights are especially relevant to people considering their options, supporters who want to help well, and professionals interested in trauma-aware approaches and safer communities.

The podcast draws on the Foundation’s practical frameworks for safety planning, confidence building, and community connection, offering clear takeaways that listeners can apply immediately or explore further through our resources.

Real stories, unfiltered conversations, practical next steps

This is not a highlight reel. It is an honest space for the challenges, setbacks, and breakthroughs that come with starting again. Whether you are supporting a loved one, seeking your own pathway to safety, or working in the sector, these episodes offer steady guidance and hope you can hold on to.
