NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 24/7 HOTLINE
1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
Femicide is the epidemic of our time, and Dawn Wilcox, full-time nurse based in Texas, is fighting single-handedly to end it.
In 2017, Wilcox founded Women Count USA, a national database and femicide census of women and girls murdered by men in the United States.
This riveting episode is packed with data and resources for victims of domestic violence.
R. also vulnerably shares some of her own experience as a survivor of marriage to a narcissistic sociopath, and details how to spot the signs of a narcissist in relationship. She details gaslighting, love bombing, and ways to help someone in such a situation to escape.

PODCASTS REFERENCED; FOR STUDY & CRIME PREVENTION PURPOSES
* Cold Podcast: I was addicted to this for a while. The true story of Josh Powell, a narcissist who emotionally manipulated his wife for years, then brutally and horrifically murdered her, got away with the murder, then went on to kill himself and two toddler sons. It’s a gut-wrenching story, but I found it important to hear, as if it were a violence-prevention guide of its own accord.
