Description

Ending Domestic Abuse is a bi-weekly podcast, hosted by Dr. Ludy Green, a national expert on preventing and responding to violence against women and children. The focus of the podcast is to empower women by arming them with immediate and useful advice to pursue their goals and prevent or escape abuse.
Dr. Green created this podcast in response to the Covid-19 pandemic separating violence victims and survivors from their support systems and isolating many with their abusers. Since then, Ending Domestic Abuse has become an essential resource, featuring subject matter experts who provide valuable insight both for our listeners who have experienced abuse, as well as our listeners who are in positions of power and can help uplift others.
Podcast guests include best-selling authors, well-known celebrities and social media influencers, judges, psychiatrists, and entrepreneurs at the top of their fields, and survivors with inspiring stories to share. Listen now to start the journey of changing your life!
