In this powerful episode of Bitch Is a Bad Word, we sit down with Anne Wintemute, Co-Founder and CEO of Aimee Says — the world’s first AI-powered companion created specifically for victims and survivors of domestic abuse, including narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, and psychological manipulation.

Anne shares her inspiring journey from founding a nationally recognized micro school to becoming a fierce advocate for survivor safety, children’s rights, and building systems that hold abusers accountable.

We explore how Aimee, the trauma-informed AI tool, offers survivors a safe, judgment-free space to process abuse, plan for safety, and rebuild their lives after intimate partner violence (IPV). Anne opens up about the real-life inspiration behind Aimee, and how technology can be a lifeline for those navigating trauma.

🎙️ Topics Covered:

• How AI can support survivors of domestic abuse
• Understanding narcissistic abuse and psychological control
• Navigating the emotional and legal aftermath of DV
• Empowering women through trauma-informed tech
• Why systems must believe and support survivors

Whether you're a survivor, therapist, ally, or just curious about how AI is reshaping trauma recovery, this is a must-listen.
