As a mum of 2, and a survivor of domestic abuse, Edwina knows what it takes to stand up, have courage and fight for what is best for her family. She is a self-confessed 'workaholic', and loves nothing more than to support others in their journey. Whether that be through bringing awareness of domestic abuse or through the business she now runs via her Facebook group Ed's Online Positivity Cafe. Edwina suffered at the hands of her abuser for more than 10years before she moved both her and her children away and started to create a better future for them all. Edwina herself also has several chronic illnesses and has struggled with her own mental health so is no stranger to needing a supporting hand, but has not always had the courage or confidence to ask for it. "I want all women to know that no matter how dark it feels some days, no matter how big the struggle, better days are coming. I'll continue to be the cheerleader for others that I never had." – Edwina Clark Abuse Talk Podcast currently offers a series of interviews with those that work in the domestic abuse sector.

Born in London to Greek Cypriot parents Soulla Christodoulou was the first in her family to go to university and studied BA Hotel & Catering Management at Portsmouth University. Years later, after having a family of her own, she studied at Middlesex University gaining a PGCE in Business Studies and an MA in Education. Her novels, Broken Pieces of Tomorrow and The Summer Will Come, are available on Amazon alongside her collection of poetry, Sunshine after Rain and her short story, Unlocked. Unlocked reached the top 14% of stories to receive a second read in the Spread The Word Competition in 2018. Alexander and Maria, a contemporary romance, was released in December 2020 through The Conrad Press and looks at one man’s disability and the impact it has on his life, relationships and ultimately his self-esteem and happiness. Semi-biographical and inspired by her own marriage breakdown Broken Pieces of Tomorrow looks at themes of self-worth, psychological and emotional abuse, breaking free and cultural expectations. It has been a book club read as far as Canada and a popular choice for book bloggers worldwide. She is a compassionate and empathetic supporter of young people. Her passion for teaching continues through private tuition of English Language and Children’s Creative Writing Classes. She offers writing support for businesses and mentoring for authors. Her love of writing has connected her with a charity in California which she is very much involved in as a contributor of handwritten letters every month to support and give hope to women diagnosed with breast cancer. One of her letters is featured in a book Dear Friend, released in September 2017. When asked, she will tell you she has always wanted to write and her life’s experiences, both personal and professional, have played a huge part in bringing her to where she was always meant to be; writing, supporting new writers and drinking lots of cinnamon and clove tea!

In order of importance, Lucy is a Mother of 3 sons, a published Author twice over (with a third book due out in March/April time) & a survivor of sexual coersion, domestic violence, rape, drug spiking and stalking. She found herself tightly entrapped in offending behaviours and the archaic criminal justice system in 2016, which she says led her into severe moral injury, self harming, suicidal ideation and dangerous promiscuity. But, Lucy (who writes her books under the name L.W Hawksby) does credit the majority of the criminal justice system, with the long term solitude from society which pushed her to self-reflect and retract from more abusive relationships. These days Lucy is to be found admiring the large blooms such as giant alliums, black tulips and poppies in the garden she plants and looks after for her neighbours, writing further books and water-colour painting unusual birds with her youngest son, Rufus, who is 10. She writes as L.W Hawksby. Youtube as L.W Hawksby & Podcasts as "The Narcissist Hunter". Abuse Talk Podcast currently offers a series of interviews with those that work in the domestic abuse sector.
