What does it really mean to speak up—when doing so could cost you everything?

In this raw and powerful episode of Healing Through Love, Rose Davidson sits down with Lina Nguyen, a lawyer, mediator, and survivor of workplace sexual violence, who shares what it truly means to speak the truth, reclaim your voice, and rebuild your life after unthinkable harm.

Lina’s story is not just about survival—it’s about transformation. After being raped by a police officer at a work function, she chose to speak out. What followed was a brutal legal process, professional backlash, and the loss of her job. But through it all, Lina discovered a deeper strength, a clearer purpose, and a new path to justice—one grounded not in revenge, but in self-respect and healing.

In this conversation, Lina unpacks:

💜 What it means to speak your truth when no one wants to hear it
💜 How to define justice for yourself when the system fails you
💜 What rebuilding looks like—from identity to purpose, and everything in between

She offers not just her story, but a roadmap for anyone who has ever been silenced, blamed, or forced to start over. With grace and honesty, Lina shows how the worst chapters of your life can become the foundation for something meaningful, purposeful, and powerful.

This episode is a beacon for survivors, advocates, and allies alike. It’s about the quiet courage to begin again—and the fierce love required to hold yourself through it.

Are you ready to reclaim your voice—and your future?

What if the most dangerous form of abuse left no bruises?

In this gripping episode of the Healing Through Love Podcast, we welcome Alan Stevens, an internationally acclaimed Profiling and Communications Specialist, to shine a spotlight on coercive control—the abuse you don’t see coming. Coercive control is subtle, manipulative, and often invisible to outsiders. It creeps into relationships disguised as “love,” leaving victims isolated, disempowered, and doubting their own reality.

Alan shares how coercive control manifests—through excessive monitoring, financial manipulation, social isolation, and psychological intimidation—and why it’s often a red flag for future physical violence. Drawing from decades of experience and his proprietary Rapid Trait Profiling system, Alan offers practical, life-saving strategies to recognize coercive control early and break the cycle of emotional manipulation.

You’ll learn:

• How to decode toxic behaviour before it escalates
• Why coercive control is a serious public health issue
• What steps you can take to protect your emotional wellbeing and regain self-trust

This episode is not just about awareness—it’s about transformation. Alan’s clear, empowering guidance gives listeners the tools to detect and dismantle manipulative behaviour, reclaim their confidence, and take back their power. Whether you're a survivor, a supporter, or simply want to better understand relationship dynamics, this episode is essential listening.

🎧 Listen now, share with a friend, and help us bring the hidden epidemic of coercive control into the light.

What does it take to transform unimaginable grief into a legacy of hope?

In this heartfelt episode of the Healing Through Love Podcast, we welcome Debbie Simmons, a woman whose life story is a testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of love. Debbie shares her journey from the depths of personal loss to the heights of purpose-driven leadership.

At the heart of Debbie's story is the profound loss of her quadruplets—a tragedy that could have left her in despair.

In our conversation, Debbie discusses:

• The pivotal moments that led her from grief to grace.

What does it take to turn trauma into triumph—and silence into advocacy?

In this raw and inspiring episode of the Healing Through Love Podcast, we speak with Anna Astwood, a survivor of sexual assault and teen dating violence, who is now the co-founder of the nonprofit Love Doesn’t Hurt Inc. Her story is heartbreaking, powerful, and ultimately transformational.

Anna opens up about being assaulted at just 12 years old and enduring a toxic relationship during high school. For years, she kept silent—afraid of judgment, disbelief, and the stigma surrounding abuse. But healing came when she found her voice through writing, counselling, and eventually advocacy. She began speaking her truth, and in doing so, created a movement to protect and empower others.

Her nonprofit educates teens about healthy relationships, boundary-setting, and how to recognize early signs of abuse. Anna’s perspective as both a survivor and a counsellor gives her a unique ability to reach youth in a way that’s compassionate, relatable, and deeply impactful.

This episode will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and reminded that no matter how dark your beginning, you can still write a powerful ending. Anna’s mission is proof that healing is possible—and that love, when healthy and respectful, never hurts.

🎙 Tune in to discover how Anna turned her pain into purpose, and how you or someone you know can too.
