In today’s episode of It’s Okay, we’re having an important and heavy conversation about domestic violence.
I walk through the tragic case of Ashley Fisher, who was killed by her partner—using her story as a real and heartbreaking example of how dangerous domestic violence can be, not only for victims, but for everyone involved. We also discuss why domestic violence calls are considered some of the most dangerous calls for police officers to respond to, and the devastating realities behind those statistics.
This episode is meant to inform, bring awareness, and honor victims like Ashley—while also reminding listeners that help exists and no one deserves to live in fear.
Please take care while listening, and know it’s okay to pause or step away if you need to.
