“There was such a disconnect between how the law and society treated gender-based violence — and it bothered me. It really bothered me!”

Rhea began her career in law, but a growing discomfort with the system led her to take a leap — into the world of social justice.

In this episode, she shares how she helped criminalise coercive control under the Serious Crime Act of 2015, leading what became the shortest successful parliamentary campaign in UK history.

We talk about the invisible nature of emotional abuse, the challenge of proving intent, and the dissonance between justice on paper and justice in practice — as well as the inner voice that refused to stay silent.

🎙️ This is Part 1 of our conversation with Rhea.

Part 2 — exploring her work on spirituality, self-trust, and Karma’s My B*tch— drops later this month.
