On an ordinary morning in a Sydney apartment building, Chloe and Christine - two neighbours who barely knew each other - were violently attacked by a stranger inside their own homes.Christine, a wellness therapist and yoga teacher, had just stepped into the shared laundry. Chloe, a photographer and mother of three, was working at her desk with her front door slightly open. Within minutes, both women were assaulted in separate random encounters by the same man - a dentist called Steven Lin from the Central Coast who has later shot dead by police. In this deeply confronting conversation, they share what happened, how they survived, and what recovery looks like just two weeks later. Their stories are raw, powerful, and ultimately grounded in resilience, instinct, and the unexpected strength that emerges in moments of crisis.

In this episode
Two parallel attacks unfold inside the same apartment building
The moment instinct takes over: fight, survival, and split-second decisions
What trauma feels like in the immediate aftermath
The emotional and physical road to recovery
Community support, kindness, and unexpected connection
The reality of women’s safety - even inside the home
Where the system is falling short, and what needs to change
