What we cover How love at first sight and moving in with the man who claimed to love and care for Sam quickly turned into her being abused, controlled and manipulatedLosing the job Sam loved due to being locked inside her flatHow Sam felt that by doing everything perfectly for her abuser meant she was safe for another dayThe impact of being controlled and abuse left Sam losing her identity, friends, family and her jobHow being slapped whilst holding her 10 month old daughter was Sam's breaking pointThe importance of raising awareness of domestic abuse and how recognising the subtle signs could help save someone elseMore about SamAbused, controlled and manipulated by the man who claimed to love her. Sam Billingham lost her job when her perpetrator locked her in the flat and threw her mobile phone out of the window. She was timed when she went to the toilet, there were always consequences whenever she contacted her mum, her clothes cut up and perfume sold if she dared to leave. Her perpetrator slapped her for the last time in November 2006 when he split her lip as she held their 10-month-old daughter in her arms. She was dragged through the Family Court when the violent alcoholic applied for contact and parental responsibility. Sam had to undertake an alcohol, substance misuse and psychological test - even though she was a victim of domestic abuse and her perpetrator was using his own daughter as a weapon to still control her. In May 2009 Sam set up her own support group called SODA, which provides ongoing aftercare and support to those who have experienced domestic abuse. She donates her time and experience to raise awareness and reduce isolation. Sam has many platforms where she shares her personal experience to raise awareness for others. She writes a regular column for a local newspaper, she is an Ambassador for a local domestic abuse charity and soon will have her own weekly radio slot, whilst still running her online support group. Sam is now in a happy place as a full time mum and part time administrative assistant.Contact details:https://www.sodahq.uk@sammieb1980Mpower resourcesDiscover Mpower’s free Bounce Back resources here - www.mpower.academy/freeresourcesFor more information on Mpower and your host Nicola Huelin Mpower founder, business coach & mentor, TEDx speaker and author of The Invisible Revolution visit www.mpower.academy/aboutIf you’re interested in being a guest on the show visit: www.mpower.academy/podcastguest In collaboration with...Bounce - Living today, protecting tomorrowWhen I met Ashley, the CEO of the insurance company Bounce, and Rachel Brookes, the Network Development Manager, it was clear from the start that Bounce and Mpower share similar values around empowering others (particularly mothers) and creating opportunities to flexibly combine earning a great living with motherhood.Bounce not only provides people with the right insurance products to protect their families, health and business they are also hugely passionate...
