Love bombing. We’ve all heard of it. When, right at the start of a relationship, one party bombs the other with so much love, attention and romance, the other just can’t resist.

And for Stella, there was even an added layer that it came from her high school sweetheart.

But while those seemingly innocent gestures may make you feel warm and sparkly in the beginning, there’s nothing innocent about them at all. That love and attention turns into control and manipulation…and the romance, into gaslighting and abuse.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode deals with drug use, mental ill health and domestic abuse and may be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know needs support, please call 1800RESPECT - 1800 737 732. You can also visit their website at https://1800respect.org.au/

Exes. We’ve all had one and we’ve all been one. And while breakups can be painful and heart-breaking, a complete surprise or a total relief, there’s always a story to be told. 

This documentary-style series, narrated by Georgia Love, brings you a collection of unconventional stories about relationships past, through the eyes and the hearts of the very people who lived them.

Tales of public humiliation and prison to forbidden love and funerals; we bring you the good, the bad and all the juicy details in between.

Everyone Has An Ex explores the deep intricacies of relationships, the curve-balls life throws at you and overcoming adversity through resilience, honesty and a few glasses of wine.

Obsession 

The blindside. A simple term, but it can mean so much. It comes in many forms. There’s of course the good sort, where the unexpected is a welcome, happy surprise.

But, it can be a bad thing too. And For Sarah, there were other things she didn’t see coming. That other type of blindside that only other people experience. One that turns a seemingly dreamy life together, into a complete nightmare.

Blindside

The trick to mastering manifestation is to speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said. And when the universe not only listens, but delivers, it is a truly powerful thing, which was exactly the case, for Jess.

But what is more powerful than manifestation at its best, dear listener? It’s that little thing called gut feeling. When everything seems perfect, but your intuition suggests otherwise. Sometimes it’s subtle, but other times it raises an internal alarm that cannot be ignored

And a heads up this episode mentions sexual and domestic violence - if you or someone you know needs help you can call 1800 RESPECT the national domestic, family and sexual violence counselling, information and support service.

Watch Out

Young love. Remember that?! Meeting someone at your part time hospo job where you’re together every night, you start making eyes at each other and one thing leads to another - soon, you’re spending the night at their family home and having dinner with their parents. Well that’s exactly how Emily met Josh.

And when you meet so young, it really only goes one of two ways. You either grow up and apart, or you grow together. Like Emily and Josh. After seven years, they knew each other like the back of their own hands and trusted each other implicitly. At not even 30 years old, life was only just beginning. Or was it more a case of it being the beginning of the end?
