What does personal safety really mean—and how do we protect it in relationships, especially when facing separation or control?

In this empowering episode of SIX Hats, Dr. Shami sits down with multi-award-winning family and divorce lawyer Cassandra Kalpaxis—best-selling author, advocate, and creator of Australia’s first divorce retreat. From domestic violence prevention to helping women reclaim financial autonomy, Cassandra is rewriting the script for how women navigate separation with dignity and power.

Together, they explore:
What every woman needs to know about financial safety—before, during, and after divorce
The warning signs of coercive control and why financial abuse often goes unseen
Why Cassandra believes personal safety isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, legal, and financial
The tools women need to exit controlling relationships and rebuild secure futures
How to support teens through early education with programs like Not Another Girl

This is essential listening for any woman who’s ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of her rights—and a reminder that dignity and strength can be reclaimed, one step at a time.
