Episode 10 is a deep dive into stalking types, characteristics of stalkers, and useful information to help victims of stalking.

TRIGGER WARNING

After recording this episode a victim of domestic violence sent me a recording of a DV incident. I feel this is very important for people to listen to. It gives a real insight into the terror and helplessness a stalking victim feels. If you feel this may trigger you, I suggest you not listen to this episode.

Stalking is prevalent in Australia. There are hundreds of cases reported every year. These people’s existence has been besieged by a stalker. Survivors often are voiceless and have no place to tell their stories. This podcast is giving a voice to these victims. A place to tell their stories. Hopefully, we can help others who are in this terrible situation to fight back.

We are so grateful to be chatting in today's episode with Megan Norris. Journalist and author of, among others, "Look What You Made Me Do", "On Father's Day", and "Love you to Death". Megan has a keen interest in stalking, the victims, and why stalkers do what they do.

Literally, millions are stalked every year, yet there is still so much stigma, silence, and shame around this subject. It’s time we speak up. Together, we can all break the silence on this unacceptable, illegal, and far-too-widespread behaviour.

EPISODE NOTES: Michelle met her stalker at a giveway sign. You can meet people anywhere. Things were great in the beginning, but things went from bad to worse pretty quickly. From black eyes, to choking, to eventually having a price on her head.
