IPV and Me: My Journey with Domestic Abuse

About IPV and Me: My Journey with Domestic Abuse

Hi, I’m Amanda, the host of IPV and Me, and this podcast is my personal journey through the complex, painful, and often hidden world of intimate partner violence. I share my real experiences with domestic abuse—what it looked like, how it felt, why I stayed, and how I found the strength to leave. This isn’t just about what happened to me. It’s about breaking the silence, exploring the emotional and psychological layers of abuse, and offering support to others who may be in similar situations. Whether you’re a survivor, someone still in it, or just trying to understand, I hope my story brings clarity, connection, and comfort. New episodes cover everything from manipulation and control to the healing process, rebuilding my identity, and finding hope again. IPV and Me is a safe space—honest, vulnerable, and rooted in truth. You’re not alone. And your story matters, too. Reach out to me on Instagram @mandgoggs or @IPVandMe, all DM's will be answered.

   Robin Givens: Surviving Iron Mike

   In 1988, Givens publicly spoke about husband and boxing legend Mike Tyson’s volatile behavior. But instead of being seen as a victim , Robin became the target of a vicious media backlash. She was portrayed as a gold digger, controlling and “the most hated woman in America.” This episode examines what happened to Robin and how society has historically treated women who speak out —especially when the person they accuse is powerful, famous, and beloved by the public.

   Northern Ireland's Femicide Epidemic Part 1

   This episode covers a deeply serious and ongoing issue — the femicide epidemic in Northern Ireland, where a pattern of women being killed by men, often in the context of domestic abuse, continues to emerge. In Part One, I break down what femicide means, why these cases aren’t isolated, and how warning signs are too often missed. It’s a heavy conversation — but an important one, because these are real lives, not just headlines.
