It's quite ironic that Nicole Madigan and Steve met and eventually married due to the peculiar messages sent by Karissa Owens after they crossed paths at their kids' local footy match one day.

At what point does someone's contact cross the line from being inappropriate and perhaps a little awkward to becoming unlawful stalking, deemed a criminal offense? Much like domestic abuse and coercive control, the lines here can become blurred, and for those on the receiving end, understanding the psychology behind the stalker's intentions can have a devastating effect on a victim-survivor's mental, social, and financial well-being.

For over three years, Karissa tormented Nicole with unsolicited vulgar and derogatory messages. She created fake social media profiles under her alias, displayed Nicole's confidential details online, and even discovered the date, time, and venue of Nicole and Steve's wedding... now there's a guest you don't want showing up on what should be the best day of your life.

In this episode, we discuss Nicole's experience, society's attitude towards stalking, and the shortcomings of the legal system in dealing with what can escalate into an extremely dangerous and debilitating situation.

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.
Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human.

Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing:

What does it really take to get back up when life drops you?

We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we all carry. Behind the masks. Beneath the armour. Real conversations that crack something open in all of us.

We’re built to break.
And we become dangerous by design.
Honest work over hard work. Every damn time.
