It Can't Just Be Me

Anna's guest this week is Sharon Gaffka, former Love Island contestant turned political campaigner and ambassador for the domestic violence charity Refuge. As she shares with Anna, Sharon's journey has been remarkable; from teenage beauty pageant queen to civil servant, then reality TV star to aspiring politician – but it's not been without its challenges. Sharon talks frankly about the horrifying racist and misogynistic abuse she's experienced online, how her personal experience of getting spiked had a huge impact on her life, and how she wants to change the world so that young people no longer have to deal with these things. Experiencing any form of abuse or harassment can be extremely isolating, but Sharon wants other survivors to understand that they're not alone.

Sharon is an ambassador for the charity Refuge, who support thousands of survivors every day, and runs the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you've experienced any of the issues in this episode and need support, the number is 0808 2000 247. You can also visit their website nationalDAhelpline.org.uk to use live chat or request a safe time to be contacted. You can find all this information in the podcast show notes too. You’re not alone, and there is help out there for you. You can find other useful resources and support here: https://audioalways.lnk.to/ItcantjustbemeIG.

Every Friday Anna, alongside a panel of experts, will be addressing YOUR dilemmas in our brand new episodes It’s Not Just You. If you have a dilemma or situation you'd like discussed, reach out to Anna by emailing hello@itcantjustbeme.co.uk or DM her on Instagram @itcantjustbemepod

Confronting Abuse with Sharon Gaffka

In these weekly episodes of It's Not Just You, each week Anna will be joined by a different expert to explore the issues and dilemmas that are affecting you. No guests, just your dilemmas discussed by Anna and her expert.

This week Anna is joined by TV and radio presenter, qualified counsellor and friend of the show Katie Thistleton to talk about a listener dilemma. Hannah recently split up with her partner and is enjoying a bit of post divorce freedom, but is feeling judged by some of her friends for her shift in lifestyle. Katie shares her personal experiences of leaving a long term relationship, and her and Anna discuss how strong friendships can survive this turbulence – it just takes time for everyone to adjust.

Introducing: It Can't Just Be Me

In the first episode of this series, Anna is joined by love and relationship coach Mel Schilling to tackle dilemmas on break-ups, friends who won’t take good advice, and telling your dates you don’t want kids.

You’ve probably seen Mel advising new couples on Channel 4’s Married at First Sight. But while she’s an expert, she’s had her own fair share of ups and downs in the relationship department, so she really knows what she’s talking about!
