TW: This episode discusses suicide and won’t be for everyone. If you or anyone you know needs support, there is a list of services below.
There’s something special about meeting someone later in life. You have a stronger sense of who you are, shaped by everything you’ve been through—the highs, the lows—and you move with a kind of calm confidence that just fits. That was the case for Amy and Matt.
But life has a way of testing you. The longer you live it, the more you’re asked to carry—and over time, that weight can take its toll. Even with the strongest support around you, some burdens are just too heavy to hold.

[tense music] For too long, Australian law didn't just fail survivors, it forced them into silence. Nina Funnell is a Walkley Award-winning journalist and a survivor who helped overturn damaging gag laws in the Australian justice system. She was the driving force behind the campaign that allowed women to finally speak their own names. Her work doesn't just tell stories, it drives change. Hi, I'm Gemma Bath, host of True Crime Conversations, and this very special two-part episode isn't just about the justice system. It's about what happens when women are finally heard, a raw, honest look at the power of a single voice, how silence is shaped, and how women push through it.
