Future Women (FW)’s first video podcast series has been named as a finalist for Best Podcast Series in Australia’s prestigious Mumbrella Publish Awards. Paths to Healing, which draws back the curtain on how difficult it can be to recover after escaping domestic violence, is the fourth season of internationally-awarded podcast There’s No Place Like Home. 

The six episode season looks beyond immediate survival to the practical supports that allow victim-survivors to rebuild their lives on their own terms; from finding a new home in a difficult housing market to securing a new job after a career break or building new community connections after being isolated. 

There’s No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing was created by FW as part of their ongoing partnership with CommBank Next Chapter, a commitment to help end financial abuse and support people on their road to long-term financial independence. In There’s No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing, executive producer and host Sally Spicer speaks with victim-survivors and organisations driving innovative pilots and programs that support long-term healing and recovery. 

Spicer said, “It was a privilege to host empathy-led discussions that honour the safety, dignity and expertise of the survivors who trust us enough to share this part of their lives.” 

“Even after four seasons, I’m still so proud that FW and CommBank are able to create a series that centres lived experience and expertise above all else – from embedding lived expertise into production with a sensitivity consultant, to collaborating with the guests who join us.”
