Episode 11 of Lawfully Yours is a powerful and heartfelt one, as Vickki Ridgway and Geraldine Watson are joined by Debbie Hughes - Chief Executive of a leading domestic abuse charity and a true champion for change.

This week, Vickki and Geraldine chat about what it’s like to give something your all, only to have it thrown right back in your face – both in work and in life. From there, they delve into the challenges of the family court system, and the often unseen emotional toll it takes on those going through it.

They then welcome Debbie, who shares her inspiring journey from passionate volunteer to leading voice in the domestic abuse sector. Her story is one of grit, purpose, and compassion.

The episode also sheds light on the many forms abuse can take, and the vital truth that domestic abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of background, gender, or circumstance. But it’s not all heavy: Debbie, Vickki and Geraldine also highlight the hope, sharing powerful success stories of people who’ve come out the other side stronger, safer, and thriving.

With Vickki’s heart, Geraldine’s empathy and Debbie’s extraordinary insight, this episode is a moving reminder of the strength it takes to survive, and the support that makes all the difference.
