    301. Anna Astwood - A Return Visit from a Survivor of Severe Dating Violence
    Dec 16 2025
    We are excited to have Anna Astwood return. Anna's first visit was in early 2025. Anna is a survivor of teen dating violence that occurred about 25 years ago. She has lived with this trauma every day since then. As a survivor of both sexual assault and teen dating violence from the ages of 12 to 18 years old, she knows the pain and the guilt of what relationship violence brings. She knows healing can take place. In this episode, Anna will tell us what she is doing now–which includes finishing her book which will be published in 2026. She also speaks about healthy relationships in elementary school classes. We have to say how proud we are of Anna. She has taken her pain and used it as motivation. Here are links to Anna's lifesaving work: The "Love Doesn't Hurt" Mission Statement: ⁠Love Doesn’t Hurt ⁠is a nonprofit dedicated to ending teenage dating violence and supporting those affected through education, empowerment and community support. Here you can ⁠find the Trauma Journal Anna created.⁠ ⁠You can contact Anna Astwood at this link. ⁠ Or email Anna: lovedoesnthurtinc@gmail.com. Thank you for listening to WHEN DATING HURTS.

  • 300. Why I am Removing Three Interviews

    300. Why I am Removing Three Interviews
    Dec 12 2025
    This is a very short episode. I explain why I am removing three episodes that ran recently. There were with Michael Clark and his wife, Lynn Clark. When I ran these interviews, it was with the best intentions and expectations. It is clear I was incorrect in what our listeners would accept. My loyalty and respect has to be with my listeners – first and foremost. Many are survivors and some are working their way out of abusive relationships. For that reason, I needed to remove those episodes. Please listen to my explanation. And thank you for listening to the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast.
