Liberate You

Raising Awareness For Mums Facing Post-Separation Abuse & Coercive Control

On Saturday, 17th May 2025, Mums In Need had the privilege of attending the inspiring “Liberate You” retreat, hosted by renowned resilience and well-being coach Josh Connolly. Josh, known for his expertise in addiction recovery, mental health, and navigating challenging family dynamics, created a welcoming space for individuals seeking emotional healing, connection, and relief from the stresses of everyday life.

The Liberate You retreat offered attendees a unique opportunity to experience deep emotional release, genuine laughter, and authentic human connection in a supportive environment. This event aligns closely with Mums In Need’s mission of empowering women affected by post-separation abuse to reclaim their wellbeing and rebuild their lives after trauma.

Our CEO, Laura Riley, and Ambassador Miranda found the retreat profoundly impactful. They described the sessions as powerful moments to release lingering emotional burdens, whether tied to past abuse, trauma, or the daily pressures many survivors face. Laura reflected on the day, saying:

"It was such an amazing day. I really felt the love in the room. There was such a strong sense of connection. I came out of the session feeling emotionally so much lighter. Thank you, Josh!"

A big thank you to Josh for his ongoing support of Mums In Need and for hosting such a meaningful, uplifting event. His dedication to promoting mental health, resilience, and wellbeing beautifully complements our work supporting women who have experienced post-separation coercive control and emotional abuse.
