From the podcast Untidy. In this episode of Untidy we talk to Zoe Marshall, media personality, creator of ‘The Deep’ podcast, and self-described over-sharer. Our conversation with Zoe is about her experience of surviving domestic violence. We talk about what made her a target for getting drawn into that relationship, how she got trapped, and why it’s so hard for the victims of abuse to get out and stay safe. CONTENT WARNING: Some of this conversation may be triggering to some listeners. Please check in with yourself and choose a time and a place to listen that’s right for you. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, please find resources below for places you can reach out to for help. Zoe explains the journey of healing from her trauma, the remnants that remain affecting her, and how she became open to loving again. Now a mum to two young children and in a safe and loving relationship with her husband, Benji Marshall, Zoe’s life experiences have led her to create her hit podcast, ‘The Deep’. She is able to hold space for powerful conversations with people who have often never shared their stories before. Her community of devoted listeners come to the podcast to hear gritty conversations they may never have otherwise had access to, from people with extraordinary life experiences. Untidy podcast honours the person within the parent. Hosts, Matilda Green and Hannah Davison dive into the undergrowth of sex and relationships, mental health, healing, body issues, identity questions, and more with a range of guests.
