Back to EpisodesENCORE: Grief Without Permission: Rosie Batty on Challenging Silence and Speaking Truth
Description
This is an encore episode of the Don't Be Caught Dead podcast and a listener favourite from Season 2.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with the incredible Rosie Batty, a fierce advocate for family violence prevention and a beacon of resilience following the tragic murder of her son, Luke. Rosie’s journey through grief, PTSD, and healing is nothing short of inspiring. She shares her candid reflections on the societal perceptions of grief and the importance of having open conversations about death and loss. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while we may not be ready to face death, we can certainly prepare ourselves to navigate the complexities of grief and healing.
We will return with our new season on Thursday, 26 February 2026.
Thanks for listening.
