Rosie Batty is joining us from Australia!
When Rosie's son Luke was beaten to death by his father in 2014 at a public sports match, this national hero turned unimaginable personal pain into a stunning movement for change all across Australia. We will contrast and compare the domestic violence landscape in Australia to what I see in Maine, and the chief hurdles and pathways to change as well as personal healing, I recommend you read her 2024 memoir Hope and also her first, Rosie: A Mother's Story
